Keith Urban 'worried' and 'frustrated' over wife Nicole Kidman's work commitments following the death of her mother Janelle
Keith Urban is reportedly 'worried' and 'frustrated' his actress wife Nicole Kidman has gone back on her word to keep her work commitments light in 2025.
The Big Little Lies star, 57, said at the premiere of her new flick Holland last month she was only working on the thriller and a Nine Perfect Strangers sequel before taking the rest of the year off to focus on herself and her family.
However, just weeks later, she was spotted filming on set of Margo's Got Money Troubles, with insiders revealing her husband Keith, 57, is concerned she may be pushing herself too hard, reported New Idea on Wednesday.
'It's extraordinary. Not even a month later and already she's back on set. Keith isn't angry, but he's worried and understandably very frustrated,' the source claimed to the publication.
'He knows how much Nic loves her job, but she keeps moving the goal posts. Instead of putting herself first—something he and the kids need her to do—she's putting work first every time.
'Nicole's still not had a chance to recover from the shock of losing her mum [Janelle] in September —and with Keith on tour, he isn't around to make sure she's at least eating and sleeping right.'
The insider went on to say Nicole has been stretching herself thin with extra acting work, as well as being 'involved in fashion campaigns, charities and she's always there to help out her mates'.
They claimed while Nicole 'thrives on work' and uses it as an 'escape', her husband is fearful over 'how long she can keep up this pace and at what cost'.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Nicole and Keith's representatives for further comment.
The report comes just days after Nicole marked Easter by joining her sister Antonia Kidman and glamorous niece Lucia Hawley for a stunning family celebration in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Oscar-winning actress stood centre stage with Antonia and Lucia in a photo from the gathering, with the family affair appearing to take place at Nicole's beautifully styled home in the US.
Another image captured their Easter feast—a mouth-watering plate of roast chicken, charred broccolini, glazed carrots, crispy potatoes, and cornbread, served with a glass of champagne and a mini basket of chocolate eggs.
A second dish showcased dessert: a golden strawberry tart topped with fresh mint, alongside a platter of ripe rockmelon, grapes, and berries—suggesting no detail was spared for the festive spread.
Nicole, who has spent more time in Nashville in recent years alongside husband Keith, was all smiles as she stood barefoot among her stylish family, looking relaxed and radiant.

The intimate gathering showcased the close bond between the Kidman sisters, who have long remained low-key about their family get-togethers.
Nicole and Keith boast a whole host of lavish properties in the US, where they are based with their two children, daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Two years after tying the knot in 2008, the Aussie natives snapped up a sprawling 20-room Nashville mansion in the country music capital of the US.
Built on a 1115sqm estate, they shelled out $4.89million for the palatial property, which boasts seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms.
It also has lavish amenities including a tennis court, swimming pool, home theatre and 'hobby room'.
Nicole and Keith also own a $6.77million five-bedroom home in Beverly Hills, as well as a $13.53million designer duplex in Chelsea, New York.
They also own properties Down Under, including a $6.5million farmhouse in the Southern Highlands and two penthouses in Milson's Point in Sydney, which they lease out.

Nicole and Thom first met in 2019 on X-Factor: Celebrity when she was a judge and he took part in a boyband. The singer ditched tennis star Grigor Dimitrov as she began dating the Scottish sportsman. Four years later, the former rugby international got down on one knee in a romantic beach proposal during a holiday to Portugal. The pair have frequently been quizzed about their wedding plans over the last few years. But Nicole has always made it clear that they would hold off on making plans until she finished her current role. We will get married. We're engaged to be married when I'm not working. Thank God he is so patient Nicole Scherzinger Her St James Theatre final show is set to take to the stage on July 20, and Nicole's performance of Norma Desmond has made her a favourite to win Best Actress at the Tony Awards tonight. So with the official closing date coming next month, many have been left curious if she had started to think about wedding planning. When asked about it directly, Nicole said they plan to get married in Hawaii "soon", according to The Mirror. And she also praised her fiancé for being like a 'God' and having a lot of patience while she focused on her career. Nicole Scherzinger shows the difference of her face after EMFACE treatment She said: "We will get married. We're engaged to be married when I'm not working. Thank God he is so patient. "We'll get married back home in Hawaii, where my family is from." Reflecting on their relationship, she added: "It was on Celebrity X Factor, I'm not gross, okay. I met him on that, and I saved him so he had to come back. "We had actually auditioned them in the summer, and we didn't meet face-to-face until the winter. "And then after that we've been together ever since.' But Nicole insisted that she would not have been so successful in her breakout role in musical theatre if it weren't for Thom's support. The music icon thanked her fiancé for being so understanding while she "lived like a hermit" for almost two years. She told Sirius XM: "I live like a hermit, I try not to do much. LOVE STORY THOM pursued the Nicole for more than six years before he finally won her over on X Factor: Celebrity when he was competing and she was a judge in 2019. He first made a bid for her affections at the 2014 Global Gift Gala fundraiser in London but was rebuffed. Nicole was going through a bad patch with her then partner Lewis Hamilton and only wanted to talk about her relationship, giving Thom the cold shoulder. Undeterred, he continued lusting over her on social media before finally bagging the girl of his dreams during his X Factor stint with fellow rugby stars Ben Foden and Levi Davis in their band Try Star. A source said: 'Thom knew he'd have a lot of fun on the show and not just because of the singing. 'He's been after Nicole for some time and was confident that spending so much time in her company would give him the opportunity to woo her. 'In the end, she couldn't resist Thom's charms, despite the fact that she was meant to be judging him.' Nicole was so infatuated with Thom she ended up sending his band home in a bid to prolong the romance, conceding it would be harder to maintain the pretence the longer he was on the show. The couple went public at an exclusive Golden Globes after-party in Beverly Hills, posing for snappers on the red carpet. Before they put their romance in the spotlight, they confirmed the relationship with close friends by attending Simon Cowell's Thanksgiving bash in London. "I still take my meetings and do work that I have to do and wherever they need me. 'It's quite a gruelling schedule right now, doing this Tony campaign season. So I just tried to rest when I can. "I'm not much of a sleeper. I've never been. "But I've had to be disciplined to make sure I get six to eight hours, because my voice is my everything. "I feel like every performance, I leave my soul and my voice out there on the stage. "So I kind of live like a hermit. I don't really do much, and I just drink a lot of water.'

Naked cruise setting sail from seaside beauty spot and bookings are open now
The three-hour-long nude cruise will set sail on Friday, June 13 A three-hour nudist cruise is set to embark from Plymouth next week. The unique voyage is scheduled to depart on Friday, June 13 for a tour around Plymouth Sound and up the River Lynher towards St Germans. The bare-skinned adventure will commence at The Barbican Landing Stage, where guests will embark upon the grand vessel. With the stunning views of Plymouth Sound as an initial vista, followed by the quintessentially English countryside along the River Lynher, the cruise promises an unforgettable experience. Participants will have the bonus of viewing the moored Royal Navy ships along the River Tamar during their journey. Adding to the enjoyment will be live electronic music and a fully licensed bar on the ship, where cruisers can buy drinks with cash or card. Keith Bowman, British Naturism's South West region events coordinator and the planner behind the Naked Cruise, spoke to Plymouth Live regarding the inception of the event: "The idea for a boat trip came from the successful 'Naked Cruises' held in the USA so I thought to myself, if they can do it then so can we.", reports Plymouth Live. When asked about the ease of organising such an unusual outing, Keith revealed: "I contacted the first boat hire business I could find in Plymouth and explained my idea. To my surprise, they jumped at the chance to provide a cruise around Plymouth Sound and along the local rivers. It's surprising how people become more interested when I mention the word 'Naked'." As of now, approximate times to board and depart have been shared, with exact times expected to be advised at a date closer to the nude voyage. Boarding for Plymouth's unique Naked Cruise is set to commence around 4:30pm, with the vessel slated to cast off at about 4:45 pm. Following a tranquil three-hour journey along the river, the boat is scheduled to return at 7:45pm. Keith, who has been at the helm of organising the event, remarked: "Organising the event has been a dream and the boat company couldn't have been more helpful. Tickets are selling steadily and as normal with Naturist events, we expect there to be a last minute rush for tickets. Why not come and join us." Tickets for this extraordinary Naked Cruise experience in Plymouth are available to British Naturism members for £25 each, while non-members can secure their spot for £30. To entice those contemplating the experience, Keith offers an enticing scenario: "Can you imagine it? It's a bright, sunny, warm evening. You have a glass of wine or cuppa in your hand. Snacks are available if you feel peckish. You're sitting back just watching the world go by as you cruise the waters NAKED! Does that sound good, or what?".
