Keith Urban did not let his divorce from Nicole Kidman deter his duties surrounding his role in the reality competition series The Road. Contestant Billie Jo Jones explained to The Daily Mail that Urban, 57, remained very professional and focused on the task at hand on set of the show. "You wouldn't even know that he was going through anything because he definitely pushed personal stuff aside and was business professional the entire time, which is what a true artist should be and should be doing," she told the outlet of the experience in an interview published on Friday, October 24. Jones said that working with Urban was "a dream come true," gushing that the country singer is "one of those people that really wants the best for you and really pushes you to be your best self." Keith Urban Avoided Talking About Nicole Kidman in Pre-Split Interview The Road, from executive producers Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan, follows 12 emerging artists as they compete to be Urban's opening act. During the Sunday, October 19, premiere episode, Urban reflected on dedicating a large portion of his time to his career. "It's a calling, and you're going to do it or you're not going to make it. When you wake up on a tour bus at 3:30 in the morning and you're sick as a dog, you're in the middle of nowhere and you've got to play your fifth show later that night," he said during the episode. Urban added, "And you haven't slept, and you miss your friends, and you're missing your family, and you're completely lonely and miserable and sick - and you say to yourself, 'Why am I doing this?' The only answer can be: 'Because this is what I'm born to do.'" An insider exclusively told Us earlier this month that Urban's High and Alive World Tour kept him extremely busy in his final months of his relationship with Kidman, 58. "He is all over the place, all the time," the source said. "He's been away on tour since June and in Australia for August."

Her and Keith were not on the same page." The Road premiered less than one month after Kidman filed for divorce from Urban after nearly 20 years of marriage on September 30. The former couple, who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, worked out a parenting plan that determined the girls will spend 306 days out of the year with their mom and 59 days with their dad. All the Changes Keith Urban Made in His Life Amid Nicole Kidman Split Despite their split, Urban still included a family photo with Kidman and the girls in a slideshow at his High and Alive World Tour stop at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on October 2. The image flashed on the screen while Urban performed "Heart Like a Hometown." Urban concluded his tour in Nashville on October 17. As Kidman and Urban's divorce proceedings continue, an insider told Us earlier this week that the Big Little Lies actress has a "focus on creating new traditions with her daughters and keeping their home life as steady and loving as possible." "She is pushing forward in a good way," the source added. "She isn't necessarily trying to find her new normal throughout all of this, because they had been quietly separated for a while now."
