Here’s a clearer picture of what went down:
🎙️ What happened
During a Zoom radio interview on Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning on July 1, Keith Urban was asked by co-host Max Burford to comment on seeing his wife, Nicole Kidman, in intimate on-screen scenes—particularly her romantic scenes with younger actors like Zac Efron in A Family Affair. Shortly after the question, the call abruptly ended, leaving hosts and listeners stunned
Who hung up—and why?
Media reports speculated that:
- Urban or his team cut the call due to discomfort with the question
- His representative later insisted he doesn’t run his own Zoom calls and said the disconnection wasn’t intentional—it was down to scheduling/time constraints
In short:
- Mix 102.3 hosts believed Urban or his team ended the call.
- Urban’s camp described it as a technical/time mix-up and backed his laid-back nature.
A familiar pattern
This isn’t the first time Urban has sidestepped questions about Kidman. In a 2024 podcast, he abruptly shut down further discussion of their relationship with a curt, “Anyway, moving on”
Why this matters
- Privacy boundary: Urban clearly maintains a firm line around discussing his marriage, especially Nicole’s personal or intimate roles.
- Media vs. artist: This incident highlights tensions when talk reaches a level of intimacy a celebrity isn’t comfortable with.
TL;DR
- The interview ended mid-question about Nicole Kidman’s steamy scenes.
- Hosts think Urban or his team cut it off; his reps say it was a scheduling glitch.
- Urban prefers to keep his wife’s acting off-limits for public comment.
