Country music star Keith Urban abruptly ended a recent Zoom interview with Mix 102.3’s “Hayley & Max in the Morning” after being posed a "very tricky... deeply personal question" regarding his wife, Nicole Kidman. Hosts Hayley Peterson and Max Burford initiated the query, with Peterson admitting her own discomfort before Burford directly 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?" This question specifically referenced Kidman’s co-starring role with Zac Efron, 37, in Netflix’s 2024 film, “A Family Affair.”

Urban did not respond to the question. Instead, a producer revealed that the Grammy-winning songwriter, 57, and his team had "disconnected from Zoom," suggesting it was a deliberate move to avoid addressing the sensitive topic. Peterson believed this was "100 percent what happened," noting that she "knew" it would lead to such a reaction. The incident prompted Burford to question if Urban now held a grudge against the show, though Urban's representative has not yet commented on the tense moment.

The discussion surrounding Kidman’s intimate scenes touches on a sensitive area for the couple. Urban, who has been married to Kidman, 58, since June 2006, recently celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary. They share two daughters, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14. Kidman herself has been vocal in recent years about the challenges of filming intimate scenes. She previously disclosed experiencing "burnout" on the set of the erotic thriller "Babygirl" (2023), stating to The Sun in October 2024 that there were times she felt, "I don’t want to orgasm any more. Don’t come near me. I hate doing this." This public stance from Kidman, combined with Urban's reaction, underscores the complexities and emotional toll that such aspects of their professional lives can have on their personal boundaries and public image.
