Keith Urban abruptly ended a live radio interview today, after an ‘uncomfortable’ question about wife Nicole Kidman came up.
The Blue Ain’t Your Color singer, 57, has been married to the Babygirl actress for nearly 20 years, and they have welcomed two daughters together in that time.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2006, have kept much of their relationship behind closed doors, so the Grammy-winner didn’t seem too thrilled when he was asked about watching some of the 58-year-old’s steamiest sex scenes.
During an appearance on Hayley & Max in the Morning, on Mix 102.3, things took a turn when he played a game with hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford.
‘In our Wall of Truth, Keith, we often get put into this situation where we have to answer a very tricky question, deeply personal question,’ Hayley informed him.
‘I get really uncomfortable, to be honest, asking our beautiful guests something they might feel uncomfortable [answering].’
Clearly in good spirits, Keith quickly interjected: ‘What about the ugly ones?’
‘Not you, Keith. No ugly guests on today,’ Max replied, to which their guest could be heard laughing.
‘The way the Wall of Truth works is that you just have to answer this question truthfully.
‘When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you’re happy to play this game – the first thing I thought of, with your beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, being on so many great movies, TV shows, all the time…
‘I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron, A Family Affair.’
‘Oh yeah, that’s a good one,’ the singer proudly praised.
However, things took a turn when Max questioned: ‘[I thought], “What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?”’
The query was met with silence from Keith’s end, before it was confirmed that he had left the call.
‘He’s just disconnected from Zoom,’ a man – thought to be a producer – said. ‘I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question.’
‘That’s 100 percent what’s just happened,’ Hayley remarked. ‘I knew that would happen … We’ve upset him! He’s gone.
‘He doesn’t like talking about his wife.’
Nicole and Keith have been together since 2005, and walked down the aisle together the following year.
They share daughters Sunday Rose and Faith together, while the Big Little Lies actress previously adopted children Bella and Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
Although they have kept much of their romance away from the spotlight, the Oscar-winner couldn’t help but celebrate their 19-year wedding anniversary last month, sharing a loved-up snap on Instagram.
‘Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban,’ she simply captioned the post.
In recent years, Nicole has basically been everywhere – thanks to roles in The Perfect Couple, Spellbound, Holland and racy Netflix movie A Family Affair, in which she embarks on a romance with Zac, who plays her daughter’s needy boss.
At the beginning of 2025, she also led the way in steamy erotic thriller Babygirl, opposite Harris Dickinson, and shared how much filming took out of her, declaring that she suffered ‘burnout’ during the shoot.
She said at the time: ‘There were times when we were shooting where I was like, “I don’t want to orgasm any more.”
‘”Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life! I’m over it.”
‘It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.’
Metro has contacted Keith’s reps for a comment.
