Keith Urban hangs up on Aussie radio hosts when asked intimate question about wife Nicole Kidman

By News.com.au

Keith Urban left two Adelaide radio hosts in shock when he hung up on them live on air after they asked an intimate question about his wife, Nicole Kidman.

The country music star called into Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning on Tuesday, ahead of the Aussie leg of his High and Alive world tour next month, when the line suddenly went dead.

Urban was in good spirits at the start of the interview as he expressed his excitement to play at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on August 28 because it’s “just a good vibe in the audience,” he said.

But the interview went downhill when hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford asked him to take part in the show’s “Wall of Truth” segment.

Although Urban was a willing participant, it seems he didn’t expect the questions to be so personal.

“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?” Burford asked before the line grew silent.

“What just happened here?” he asked as a producer said, “He’s disconnected from Zoom.”

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

Pearson was rattled that they’ve “upset” the Grammy winner and had a feeling “that would happen.”

“Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban now?” Burford wondered before telling her, “If you knew this was going to happen, Hayley, why didn’t you stop me asking the question?”

It’s no secret that Urban doesn’t like talking about his famous wife.

Last September, the singer was invited on the “Jam Nation with Jonesy & Amanda” podcast to chat about his new album High and upcoming world tour, when the chat focused on Kidman being at the Venice Film Festival.

Host Amanda Keller then began asking questions about the origins of Urban’s relationship with the Aussie actress.

“Speaking of your amazing love story with Nicole, you met at G’day Australia. Is that what it was called?” she asked Urban, to which he bluntly corrected her: “G’day LA.”

Keller suggested that if the pair hadn’t met that fateful night, they perhaps might never have met at all.

“If you hadn’t both been there that day, would your paths somewhere have inevitably crossed? Or maybe … this incredible love story wouldn’t have happened,” she wondered.

“No, I think it would,” Urban insisted.

“Yeah? Are you a believer in fate or do you think it’s two Australians, it would have happened?” she persisted, with Urban replying, “No idea.”

The interview became more awkward and Urban appeared to run out of patience.

Clearly done with questions about his wife, Urban shut down the topic with three simple words: “Anyway, moving on.”
