"TRIPLE CROWN !!! it was a surreal feeling and truly humbling honor to be recognized at the @acmawards last night," he wrote May 9 alongside a video celebrating with Nicole in the limo and a photo of him and the Big Little Lies star in the audience. "I LOVED every second of it !!!"

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Break Up After 20 Years

The duo, who wed in 2006, sparked breakup rumors just a few months later amid the news Nicole had put in an application to become a resident of Portugal, with Keith left off the form. However, the speculation was quelled as E! News learned at the time that he was still planning to join her.

“Keith was unable to be in Portugal for this appointment as he is currently on tour in the U.S.," a source with knowledge of the situation told E! July 24, "and it is mandatory for applicants to be physically present in order to apply for the visa. He is scheduled to submit his application at a later date that works with his tour schedule."

The insider added, "While Nicole and Keith own a home in Portugal, their primary residence will continue to be in Nashville.”

Keith moved out of their home and into his own place in Nashville, though he’s currently on tour—next traveling to Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Virginia.
