Keith Urban Ends Radio Interview After Being Asked ‘Deeply Personal’ Question About Nicole Kidman

Keith Urban appeared to abruptly end a radio interview after he was asked an uncomfortable question.

The awkward moment began during the Tuesday, July 1, edition of Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning, when hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford told the country singer, 57, that they would be playing their “Wall of Truth” segment of the show.

While Pearson warned the country singer that some of the questions they ask can be “deeply personal,” Urban clearly wasn’t prepared when Burford quizzed him on how he feels “when he sees his beautiful wife [Nicole Kidman] with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV?”

Without replying, Urban’s side of the call quickly ended.

“He’s just disconnected from Zoom,” another person on the show could be heard saying in the background. “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. Oh, my God!” Pearson replied. “I knew that would happen. We’ve upset him! He’s gone.”

The sudden end to their chat even caused Burford to wonder, “Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban?”

This comes just over six months after the premiere of one of Kidman’s steamiest films – Babygirl. The erotic story revolved around a CEO (Kidman) who embarked on an affair with a much-younger intern (Harris Dickinson) and included a variety of explicit sex scenes.

“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,’” the 58-year-old actress explained to The Sun in October 2024. “It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.”

Despite the potential awkwardness of watching his wife acting out intimate moments with costars, Urban has been able to view her work as “her art,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“She is playing characters – she isn’t playing Nicole Kidman,” the source continued. “Keith isn’t wincing during these types of scenes, he knows it is just part of the story. He removes himself from seeing her as his wife and supports her and enjoys the work.”

Kidman and Urban tied the knot in 2006 and share daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14.

While the Eyes Wide Shut actress joked that the key to their “successful marriage” was “separate commodes and a double-headed shower” in a January interview with W Magazine, they also have rules they follow to help keep their yearslong connection alive. One of them is that they choose not to text, and instead, they call or FaceTime each other.

“I feel like texting can be misrepresentative at times,” she shared with Parade in 2018. “I’ve had the thing where I reread texts and I’m like, ‘What does that mean?’ and then read it to somebody and go ‘Can you interpret that?’ I don’t want that between my lover and I.”
