Lainey Wilson has highlighted her deep friendship with country star Keith Urban, noting that she frequently seeks his guidance on life and career matters. The duo has teamed up for projects including their 2024 duet “Go Home W U” and a joint performance of her hit “Ring Finger” at the November Country Music Awards.
A Source of Inspiration
Wilson credits Urban with delivering invaluable advice. “Keith has given me some of the best advice, and every single time I talk to him, I pull out this little notebook on my phone, and I’m typing down everything he says, because I’m like this man is full of wisdom,” she shared in a recent interview. “And clearly he has done something right, and it’s important to listen to people like Keith Urban, who have been there and done that.”
She describes him as a reliable mentor. “Keith Urban has become a dear friend and has given me some of the best advice. Every time I see him or run into him, he’s like, ‘Let me drop a load of wisdom on ya!'” Wilson explained. “But I tell you what, every time I leave his presence, I’m like typing in my phone, ‘Keith Urban said this…’ He’s full of wisdom and has had such a long, incredible career. It’s clearly because of his talent and also because of who he is. He’s just a good dude, and he loves country music, his fans.”
“He gives it 190 per cent, he never halves anything, and that’s what I love about him,” she added. “He’s going to continue sharing his gift until he can’t share it no more.”
Keith Urban’s Recent Divorce
Urban’s personal life drew attention after he and Nicole Kidman ended their nearly 20-year marriage in September 2025. The couple, parents to Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 15, agreed to share custody, with Kidman as the primary residential parent.
Their divorce documents stipulate: “The mother and father will behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced. They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”
Post-divorce, Kidman has traveled extensively with her daughters, including a trip to Paris where Sunday Rose walked the runway at Calvin Klein’s Fashion Week. She also joined Sunday Rose, Faith, and sister Antonia Kidman on a memorable Antarctica adventure.
Lainey Wilson’s Engagement Update
Meanwhile, Wilson remains engaged to former NFL player Devlin Hodges, whom she started dating in 2021. They announced their engagement in February 2025 and are taking their time with wedding plans.
“I need to go dress shopping, or I need to talk to somebody about making a dress,” she said. “I need to go get fitted. How about that? That’s the first step.”
“Hopefully, when he sees me [walking down the aisle], he’ll be boohooing,” Wilson added.
