Keith Urban seemingly exits interview when pressed about Nicole Kidman's romantic scenes with younger men
During an appearance on an Australian radio show, the hosts introduced a segment called "Wall of Truth." One of the hosts explained to Urban that "I get really uncomfortable, to be honest, asking our beautiful guests something they might be uncomfortable [answering]."
The first question referred to Kidman's 2024 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?"
However, the hosts were met with silence as Urban was disconnected from the virtual interview.
"He's just disconnected from Zoom," another person chimed in. "I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question."
One host speculated, "That's 100% what's just happened… Oh my God!"
"I knew that would happen," she added. Another host argued that Urban had been "smiling" just before the disconnection, and she replied, "I know, but he doesn't like the personal stuff… We've upset him!"
"He doesn't like talking about his wife," she suggested.
The other host mentioned that he thought they were "vibing" with the country singer.
"Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban?" he questioned.
The Australian radio team mentioned they were reaching out to Urban's publicist but didn't receive an answer.
A representative for Urban declined to comment on the situation to Fox News Digital.
The abrupt interview exit comes after Kidman, 58, starred alongside Efron, 37, in the 2024 romantic comedy, "A Family Affair."
"A surprising romance kicks off comic consequences for a young woman, her mother and her movie-star boss as they face the complications of love, sex and identity," the movie synopsis read.
"A Family Affair" raised eyebrows for its age-gap romance and intimate love scenes between Kidman and Efron.
This wasn't the first film that Kidman played a character that was romantically involved with a younger man.
In December 2024, Kidman starred in an erotic thriller titled "Babygirl" playing a powerful CEO who had an affair with a younger intern, Harris Dickinson, 29.
Kidman and Urban have been married since 2006 and share two daughters – Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

Australia cancels Kanye West's visa over ‘Heil Hitler' song
Australia has canceled the visa of rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, for the release of his song 'Heil Hitler.' Ye, 48, has been traveling to Australia regularly in recent years because his wife, Bianca Censori, was born in the country, and her family lives in Melbourne. 'He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here,' Australian home affairs minister Tony Burke told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. 'And he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the 'Heil Hitler' song, and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia.' Ye did not immediately comment on his reported ban from Australia. Australia has publicly considered banning the artist in the past. In 2023, after another string of antisemitic comments from Ye, Australian officials publicly suggested he could be denied a visa under the country's immigration laws. However, they did not take any action until this year, following the May release of 'Heil Hitler.' In the song, West chants in part: 'All my n—s Nazis, n—a, heil Hitler.' The song also includes a recording of a Hitler speech from 1935. The song was removed from many streaming platforms shortly after West released it in May. However, his original social media post was watched more than 6 million times. 'We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry,' Burke told the ABC.

Amyl & The Sniffers Defend Bob Vylan, Kneecap Over Glastonbury Backlash
Amyl & The Sniffers have issued a pointed statement of solidarity with Bob Vylan and Kneecap in the wake of growing media backlash surrounding the artists' pro-Palestinian messages at Glastonbury 2025, accusing the press of misrepresenting what they say was a festival-wide stance. Posting to Instagram Stories on Monday (July 1), the Australian punk rock band criticized the British media's 'frenzy' over select sets that included political speech, specifically targeting how coverage framed Bob Vylan and Kneecap as outliers. More from Billboard Foo Fighters Celebrate 30th Anniversary of Debut Album With Emotional New Track 'Today's Song' At First, Kapo 'Didn't Dare' to Release Afrobeat Music, But Then He Leaned Into 'What Truly Made Me Feel Most Unique' Quavo 'Ready to Bring It Home' to Perform at The Players Party Ahead of 2025 MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta 'The British media in a frenzy about Bob Vylan and Kneecap but artists all weekend at Glastonbury from pop to rock to rap to punk to DJs spoke up onstage and there were toned of flags on every streamed set,' the band wrote. 'Trying to make it look like just a couple of isolated incidents and a couple of 'bad bands' so it appears the public isn't as anti-genocide as it is, and trying to make it look like Bob and Kneecap are one-offs, instead of that the status quo has shifted majorly and that people are concerned and desperate for our governments to listen.' They continued: 'And if you don't want politics in music don't blame the musicians, blame the politicians and journalists, and the political landscape in general, for not doing their job, and there'll be more and more of [this] until it stops.' The statement follows Bob Vylan's controversial performance at Glastonbury, during which the punk-rap duo led chants condemning the Israeli Defense Forces. The BBC later confirmed it 'should have pulled' the livestream and did not re-air the performance. Irish rap group Kneecap, who followed Vylan on the West Holts stage, waved Palestinian flags and made their own statements during their set. Amyl & The Sniffers — who also performed at the festival — delivered a politically charged set of their own. During a passionate moment onstage, frontwoman Amy Taylor used the platform to discuss colonization, Australia's treatment of Indigenous people, and the importance of political expression. 'They want us to shut the f–k up,' Taylor said to the crowd. 'Because if we think about Palestine, then back home in Australia, we think about the Indigenous people there… and that's disgusting.' Their comments were met with roaring applause, and clips of the speech circulated widely online — though notably, they did not attract the same level of media criticism as Bob Vylan or Kneecap. Glastonbury 2025 saw a significant wave of political statements from artists across genres, with Palestinian flags visible at nearly every major stage. Acts from the pop, punk, indie, and dance scenes voiced solidarity, many calling out what they see as governmental inaction and media silence on the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Amyl & The Sniffers' statement adds to the growing chorus of artists using their platforms to speak out, echoing a shift in live music where festival stages have increasingly become vehicles for protest and visibility. The band's message is clear: they stand behind artists who speak up — and won't back down from the fight for accountability and awareness.
