The father of the country music singer linked to Keith Urban amid his shock split from Nicole Kidman has inflamed rumours that he has already moved on.
Fans of the A-list couple were blown away by the news on Monday that Keith had decided to separate from the Oscar winner after 19 years of marriage and a regular stream of loved-up tributes to one another online.
Their demanding schedules were initially touted as the likely reason for the separation, but 24 hours later, it was Nicole who formally applied for legal separation, hinting that there were potentially more factors at play in their split.
It wasn't long before a rumour leaked out that Keith had grown close to another, much younger woman on the country music circuit, with an insider telling the Daily Mail that he allegedly has a girlfriend who moves in the same circles as him in Nashville.
Eagle-eyed fans subsequently zoomed in on the fact that Keith changed the lyrics of a song written about his romance with Nicole while performing with 25-year-old Maggie Baugh.
Keith originally performed The Fighter with Carrie Underwood, but the lyrics to the song, are about the early days of a romance with Nicole.
During a recent performance with Baugh, Keith changed the line 'When they're tryna get to you baby, I'll be the fighter' to 'When they're tryna get to you, Maggie, I'll be your guitar player.'
Baugh posted a clip of the performance online with a caption that read: 'Did he just say that?' with the eyes emoji.
Now the insider has told the Mail that Keith and Maggie's friendship has been the talk of the town 'for months' and her father has weighed in on the drama.
'There's been gossip all over town that Keith and Maggie have had a thing for a few months. It's like one big high school with rumours and innuendo, but also a lot of people know a lot of things.
'It's a 100 per cent credible that they'd be together,' the source shared.
When contacted, Maggie's father, Chuck, said: 'It's more a musician thing than a dating thing' while adding that he had not heard one way or another whether they were an item.
