Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's widely speculated romance has reportedly taken a turn for the worse. According to Britain's The Mail, Kidman recently broke off her engagement to the Australian country star, citing doubts that he had really changed his ways from his years of "womanizing" and addiction.

A friend of the actress told the publication, "Everything seemed to be going fine, but then she heard stories that Keith had not totally turned his back on his wild ways. Nicole told Keith she needed space to think and had to break off their engagement."

Up until this point, Kidman has been wearing a 3.5-carat engagement ring reportedly given to her by Urban.

The friend added, "The truth is, a lot of her friends were worried about him from the start because of his reputation as a womanizer and no one wants to see her hurt again. She feels Keith isn't ready to settle down. Keith's devastated but determined to win her back."

The Mail also spoke with Urban's ex-fiancee, Laura Sigler, who said she was not surprised to hear about the break up. She said, "I knew it wouldn't last. Keith is charming and very charismatic, but not reliable. He had numerous flings while we were together. . . I'm not sure Keith will ever be ready to settle down. He talks about wanting a family, but there is a dark side to him. He was a drunk and a drug user. He has an addict's personality and always wants more. I'm not sure any one woman can make him happy."

Professionally speaking, things couldn't be going better for Urban. His latest album, Be Here, is now certified triple platinum for sales of more than three million copies.

His Still Alive In '06 tour kicks off on February 1st in Evansville, Indiana.
