Did Keith Urban hang up of Australia radio host over racy Nicole Kidman question? Singer clarifies abrupt exit

Country music star Keith Urban was in for a surprise drama when his interview with Australia’s Mix 102.3 was abruptly cut short right before the hosts brought up a personal question about his wife, Nicole Kidman.

Amidst the speculations, insiders close to People Magazine have said that it wasn't his decision to bail. The moment happened during Tuesday’s live appearance on Hayley & Max in the Morning, where the star was promoting a concert he is scheduled to put on at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

According to the New York Post, the interview was going perfectly fine until Urban discussed being back on stage and expressed his appreciation for the local audience, calling it “a good vibe.”

But things took a turn when co-host Max Burford started the show’s Wall of Truth segment and questioned the singer about Nicole Kidman's romantic scenes with actors like Zac Efron. Speaking about her part in the Family Affair, a 2024 Netflix film with Efron, Burford asked:

"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 call hung up moments after the question was asked. The hosts wondered if Urban’s staff had hung up on them in light of the delicate nature of the question:

"I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question. He’s gone, see you Keith," the show's producer said.

But the rumors were promptly shot down by a source talking to People Magazine. The insider continued, noting that Keith Urban’s not in charge of setting up his own Zoom interviews, and explaining that the incident was “a complete nothingburger.” The source also said that the singer was “very easygoing” and was not upset by the question:

"Keith did not hang up, period. He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothingburger," the source told the outlet.

A look into Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's relationship timeline

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been together for nearly two decades now. The two first crossed paths in 2005 at the G’Day LA gala. Keith, who was supposedly going through personal issues at the time, didn’t contact Kidman for months. But they eventually got in touch and started dating. A year later, the couple got married in a romantic wedding in Australia in June 2006.

According to Cosmopolitan, soon after their marriage, Keith Urban checked into rehab due to his problem related to substance abuse, and has been supported by Nicole ever since. Their early years were challenging, as the couple had to face cheating allegations and Urban's addiction recovery.

The duo shares two daughters: Sunday Rose, born in 2008, and Faith Margaret, born in 2010. Though Kidaman and Urban have had intense careers; they have always put each other first, living a grounded life in Nashville:

"I met him later in life, and it's been the best thing that's ever happened to me... That man is the best thing that's ever happened to me," Kidman told Gayle King in an interview with CBS Morning.

The couple have time and time again made public appearances and references to each other and even celebrate their relationship milestones by posting on their social media.
