Keith Urban abruptly hangs up on radio interview when quizzed about wife Nicole Kidman
The country music star left the hosts almost speechless
Keith Urban became riled up during a morning interview on Australian radio on Tuesday.
The singer was promoting his High and Alive world tour when he appeared on Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max, when things took a turn.
Keith appeared in good spirits as he chatted to the hosts until it came to the Wall of Truth game.
The 57-year-old hung up on the zoom call after he was asked about his wife Nicole Kidman’s love scenes.
Her love scenes
One of the show’s hosts, Max Burford, rudely 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?” But he was met with radio silence.
Keith had unexpectedly called time on the interview, leaving them hanging.
A member of the crew could be heard saying his team didn’t like the line of questioning so pulled the chat.
“I thought we were vibing with Keith,” said Max. “Do we have beef with Keith Urban now?”
His co-host Hayley Pearson regrettably quipped: “He hates us. I knew that was going to happen.”
Anniversary apart
Keith’s abrupt actions come just days after he and Nicole celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary. Work commitments meant they couldn’t spend the day together, but they were still in one another’s thoughts.
The Big Little Lies actress was spotted getting dinner at Nobu in London just a day later, meanwhile, her husband was preparing for a performance in Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of his High and Alive Tour.

Out of his league
Nicole and Keith married in 2006 in a private ceremony in Sydney after meeting at a G’Day LA event the year before.
He later confessed he thought she was “out of his league,” which was why he initially put off calling her for months.
His reluctance to make a move was a tough pill for Nicole to swallow. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she revealed: “I remember thinking I had such a crush on him and he wasn’t interested in me. It’s true he didn’t call me for four months.”
