Keith Urban hangs up on Aussie radio hosts after crude question about Nicole Kidman: ‘He hates us!’

Keith Urban hung up during a live Aussie radio interview on Tuesday when asked a crude question about wife Nicole Kidman.

In a rather awkward moment, the Blue Ain’t Your Color singer, 57, and his team disconnected a Zoom call during an appearance on Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning.

While happily playing the Adelaide-based radio show’s Wall of Truth game, host Max Burford pushed the limit when he asked how Urban feels about Kidman’s racy scenes with Zac Efron in the film A Family Affair.

“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?” Max asked, to complete silence.

Another person added, “His team hung up on us as they didn’t want us to ask that question”.

“He’s gone! See you Keith,” they added, saying they weren’t told not to ask that question.

“I thought we were vibing with Keith… Do we have beef with Keith Urban now?” Max asked.

Co-host Hayley Pearson admitted she felt bad after what happened.

“We’ve upset him, he’s gone. He doesn’t like talking about his wife,” she said.

“He hates us. I knew that was going to happen.”

9honey Celebrity has contacted representatives of Urban for comment, in relation to this story.

Kidman and Urban have been married since 2006 and are typically quite private about their decades-long marriage.

During a recent chat with Victoria Beckham for Vogue Australia, Kidman, 58, called Urban her “solace” and revealed the ritual the couple does every morning to strengthen their bond: going for a walk together and holding hands.

“I’m so lucky that I found it,” she said of finding love with the rocker.

“It’s such an unstable industry and he’s my solace.

“Every day we get up in the morning and we go for a walk – and we hold hands. We love holding hands.”

Kidman added that it’s important to also not only “love” the person you’re with, but to actually “really like them”.

“God it helps,” she said.
