Keith Urban cheated on Nicole Kidman
An American model says she was having an affair with Keith Urban while he was engaged to Australian actress Nicole Kidman and has spoken of the country star's drug habit.
Amanda Wyatt, a 23-year-old part-time model who met Urban at a bar, said they never used protection during their relationship which began in 2004 and continued until May this year — the month before Urban and Kidman married.
The pair was also seen being intimate in October this year, around the time when Urban checked himself into the Betty Ford rehabilitation clinic to treat his drug addiction.
"I'm sorry if I hurt Nicole but I just want to tell the truth and move on," Ms Wyatt told Britain's The Mail on Sunday.
"I hope that she finds happiness with him but Keith is a deeply troubled man."
"I hope for her sake that he sorts himself out. She deserves better."
Wyatt said she continued to see Urban regularly even after finding out of his burgeoning romance with Kidman in mid-2005.
"I guess I knew he was seeing her but he was also seeing me," Wyatt said.
"He wasn't married so I still held out hope that they were just having some kind of publicity relationship.
"You have to understand, Keith was a star and I was a nobody, but even by his standards Nicole was a superstar."
Wyatt says their sexual relationship lasted long after he began seeing Kidman.
"When we made love he never used protection," Wyatt said.
"He told me that he liked that I didn't pressurise him to get married or have babies.
"I sometimes wonder if he said the same thing to Nicole.
"I never wanted to trap him.
"I tried not to fall in love with him but we were together throughout the whole time he was dating Nicole and engaged to her, right through 2005 and to around May 2006.
"Whenever he was in town we'd see each other two or three times a week.
"We'd drink and party and make love and (were) constantly on drugs."
Wyatt said Urban had been misleading his own family about his substance abuse.
"He drank constantly — his favourite was Crown Royal Reserve whisky — and he did drugs. Ecstasy, cocaine, pot — you name it," Wyatt said.
"He told me he'd been in rehab for cocaine and when his mother was there from Australia she was very protective of him. She kept telling me it was okay for him to drink but begged me not to let him do cocaine again. I didn't dare tell her the truth — that he was still doing it.
"Looking back, I rarely saw him sober. He'd work during the day but the bourbon would be flowing and, at night, he'd take ecstasy and coke. We partied constantly."

Nicole and Keith in Bora Bora
Newlyweds Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban landed in Tahiti yesterday to begin their honeymoon.
The couple's private Gulfstream jet touched down in French Polynesia and they were quickly whisked off in a chartered plane for a 45-minute journey to nearby Bora Bora.
According to Sydney's Daily Telegraph, the newlyweds are staying in the luxury $15,000-a-night Royal Estate at the new St. Regis resort.
Urban was seen escorting his new bride down the steps of the jet in Papeete, Tahiti, after waiting on the plane while local customs officials picked up and then re-delivered their passports.
At the tiny Bora Bora airstrip they were then met by a crew of staff from the resort, who helped them avoid a team of local press and then escorted the couple on a short boat ride to the resort.
An airport official says, "Resort staff were all around them when they came through here."
Kidman and Urban are among the first guests of the Royal Estate over-water bungalow in the resort, which just opened a few weeks ago.
The massive over-water villa boasts a 24-hour butler service, an in-room Jacuzzi and a room with a private swimming pool.
The newlyweds aren't completely alone on their honeymoon--Kidman also brought along her personal security guard, Sonja Zollman.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban tie the knot
Nicole Kidman wed Keith Urban in a traditional Catholic ceremony at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in St. Patrick’s Estate in Manly, Australia, at sunset on Sunday June 25.
Kidman arrived at the ceremony in a Rolls Royce wearing a strapless gown and veil. The bridal party which included Nicole’s daughter Isabella, sister Antonio, and Antonia’s daughter, Lucia, were close behind in a second Rolls Royce wearing matching dresses. The groom’s party consisted of Keith’s brother, Shane Urban, Marcus Holden and Peter Clarke.
The flowers included anemones, freesias, gardenias, gumnuts, green goddess lilies, hellebores, and orchids, arranged by florist Saskia Havekes of Grandiflora. After the wedding, the flowers were donated to the Sydney Children’s Hospital.
The black tie reception was held at St. Patrick’s Estate, as well, where guests mingled beneath a white tent. In lieu of presents, Urban and Kidman asked that charitable donations be made.
The couple met in January 2005 at a black-tie dinner in Los Angeles sponsored by the Australian government. This is Urban’s first marriage and Kidman’s second marriage. She was previously married to actor Tom Cruise with whom she has two children, Isabella, 13, and Conor, 11.
Longtime family friend and Jesuit priest Father Paul Coleman conducted the ceremony
The priest told reporters earlier this week that he had a “good feeling about their chances.”“You’ve got to rely on their maturity and knowledge of each other and I’m impressed,” he said. Asked what advice he would give the couple for their marriage, Father Coleman said: “Make time for each other, do romantic things together and never part without kissing.”
