'Keith doesn't hate us': Adelaide radio hosts reveal what really happened after X-rated Nicole Kidman question cut their interview with Keith Urban short
Adelaide-based radio hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford have lifted the lid on their excruitiating Keith Urban interview. The moment unfolded on Tuesday when the 57-year-old Aussie music star appeared on Mix 102.3's Hayley & Max breakfast show via Zoom to promote his upcoming High and Alive world tour, which kicks off July 17 in Denver and includes a stop in Adelaide on August 28. Urban appeared relaxed and cheerful during the chat, even expressing his excitement about returning to perform for his Aussie fans. But the conversation derailed when the duo asked him to participate in the program's recurring segment, Wall of Truth. "When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you're happy to play this game, the first thing I thought of is your beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, being in so many great movies and TV shows all the time," Max said. "I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair, and I thought, '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?'" Following an awkward silence, Max asked: "Oh no, why has this happened? What's just happened here?" "I think he just hung up on us," Hayley responded. Their producer quickly chimed in: "He's disconnected. I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question." However, on Wednesday morning Hayley and Max finally cleared the air with their listeners, revealing that Keith Urban didn't cut the call short after all. To get to the bottom of what really happened, the duo brought in Mix 102.3 FM's content director Stephen Werner, who set the record straight. After praising them for what he called a "great interview" Stephen explained that the call ended simply because they ran out of time with the 'Somebody Like You' singer. "The producers were getting texts, and you guys were having such a great time that you ran out of time," he said. "I don't even know if he (Keith) heard the question." Hayley jumped in: "So are you saying he didn't hang up on us?" "He didn't hang up on you," Stephen confirmed. "He went to another interview." Hayley continued to probe. "Hang on, so are you telling us this has made international news, and it's not even a story because he didn't hang up on us? "Are you saying that Keith doesn't hate us?" "Well, I haven't spoken to him, but I don't think Keith hates anybody, really. He seems like a pretty nice guy," Stephen replied. "So it's just the entire internet that hates us, not Keith," Max said. Urban and Kidman first met at the G'Day USA Gala in January 2005 and tied the knot in June 2006. Now parents to two daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, the couple recently celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, which Kidman marked with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. "Happy Anniversary Baby," the Babygirl star wrote alongside a tender black-and-white photo of the pair cuddled up over Urban's guitar.

Keith Urban WALKS OUT of interview when asked about wife Nicole Kidman's steamy roles with 'younger actors'
Singer Keith Urban had the internet buzzing over reports that he 'walked out' of an interview after he was asked an uncomfortable question about his Oscar-winning actress wife, Nicole Kidman . The singer recently sat down for an interview with a popular radio show, where, after being asked the rather personal questions, he ended the interview and left. Just Jared reported that Urban starred as a guest on the popular radio show Mix 102.3's 'Hayley & Max in the Morning'. Urban, who was promoting his music, was asked about his wife's recent bold film roles opposite much younger actors. During the 'Wheel of Truth' segment, the host explained, 'In our Wheel of Truth, Keith, we often get put into this situation where we have to answer a very tricky question, deeply personal question. I get really get uncomfortable, to be honest, asking our beautiful guests something they might be uncomfortable answering'. The host then went on to say, 'I thought, '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?'' Soon after asking the question, the call went blank, which many are now claiming that Urban ended the interview. The producers of the show were later informed that the singer's team cut the call from their end, as the question was not something that they wanted to be asked. The two hosts realised what had gone wrong with the interview, and even commented on how Keith never usually answers questions about his personal life, especially about his wife, Nicole Kidman, in interviews.

Keith Urban ‘didn't end chat show call when asked about his wife Nicole Kidman's intimate career moments'
Keith Urban appeared to abruptly end an interview after being asked a personal question about his wife Nicole Kidman's intimate career moments — but sources say the singer did not hang up. The 57-year-old country star was speaking with Australia's Mix 102.3's Hayley Max in the Morning on Tuesday, 1 July, when hosts Max Burford and Hayley Pearson introduced a game called Wall of Truth, and reports claimed after Keith abruptly ended the chat when asked about his wife Nicole Kidman's latest raunchy sex scenes. But a source has now told People: 'Keith did not hang up, period,' a source told People. 'He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothing burger.' Hayley described the supposedly controversial chat show section that allegedly prompted Keith to hang up as a segment where they ask guests 'a very tricky' and 'deeply personal' question. Max began it by asking Keith: 'When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you happen to play this game, the first thing I thought of, with your beautiful wife Nicole Kidman being on so many great movies, TV shows all the time… I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair.' Keith replied politely: 'Oh yeah, that's a good one.' Max then asked: 'And I thought, '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?'' Shortly after the question, Keith disappeared from the call. Another voice on the show said he'd been 'disconnected from Zoom.' Max suggested: 'I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question,' adding Urban 'doesn't like the personal stuff.' Max, however, appeared puzzled, noting Keith had been 'smiling' during the interview. The source told People Keith is a 'very easygoing' interviewee and was not personally offended by the question. A representative for Urban declined to comment on the incident. Nicole Kidman, 58, stars alongside Zac Efron, 37, in A Family Affair, released in June 2024. In the film, the actress plays a widowed writer who begins dating Zac's character, a self-absorbed actor employing her daughter as a personal assistant. Nicole told People last year: 'It's really helpful when you're doing this sort of work together that you've already got a history together, because it's easy. You're not working to create a history. So I'm not like, 'Can I touch you?' I feel incredibly trusting of Zac.' Keith and Nicole married in 2006 and celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary last month. They have two daughters – Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14. Nicole marked the anniversary on Instagram, writing, 'Happy Anniversary Baby (red heart emoji.) @KeithUrban.' In December, the actress told People Keith 'still knows how to keep me on my toes'. She recalled about a recent surprise dinner: 'I like being asked out, which he still does. Seven nights ago, we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I'm open (to everything.) 'I like not knowing where he's going to take me. Surprise me, baby!'

Keith Urban exits interview after racy Nicole Kidman 'love scenes' question
Keith Urban seemingly abruptly ended a recent interview with a radio station in his native Australia after the host asked about the country star's wife, actress Nicole Kidman, participating in "love scenes." The Grammy Award winner, 57, called into Mix 102.3's radio show "Hayley & Max in the Morning" via Zoom on Tuesday, July 1, to promote an August concert in the country. Midway through Urban was told by the hosts that they had a "very tricky" and "deeply personal question" for him during a segment on the show called "Wall of Truth." Pearson, who said she was "uncomfortable" asking Urban the question, handed the interview over to Burford, who then asked the "Blue Ain't Your Color" crooner, "What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron, having these beautiful love scenes?" When does Nicole Kidman's thriller 'Babygirl' release on Max? Date, time, cast Urban didn't answer the question and then the host said the singer's team "disconnected from Zoom" over frustrations with the questioning. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Urban for comment. Last year, Kidman, 58, participated in on-screen intimate scenes with 37-year-old costar Efron in Netflix's "A Family Affair." "I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question," a producer said. Then, Pearson said that "he doesn't like the personal stuff" and "he doesn't like talking about his wife" because "it's private." Burford jokingly added, "Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban?" The hosts were not able to get Urban back on the line for the rest of the interview. "I've had this feeling ... that they don't like these personal questions at all," Pearson added. Urban and Kidman, who rank among Hollywood's longest and most recognizable couples, celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary last month. The partners are parents to daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14. The Academy Award-winning actress and fellow Aussie has spoken out about filming intimate scenes herself. She told The Sun last year that "there were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm anymore.'" She was speaking about shooting buzzy 2024 movie "Babygirl," a psychosexual thriller, opposite younger costar Harris Dickinson, who is now 29. "There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration," Kidman said, adding that sometimes she felt like, "I hate doing this" in regard to intimate scenes.

Keith Urban abruptly ends interview after risqué Nicole Kidman question
Keith Urban's radio interview promoting his upcoming High and Alive World Tour ended abruptly when a personal question about his wife, Nicole Kidman, took things off-track. The 57-year-old singer called in to Mix 102.3's Hayley & Max in the Morning on July 1 to talk about his tour and share memories of Adelaide. But the chat took a sharp turn when hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford introduced their 'Wall of Truth' segment - a game involving awkward, personal questions. 'We often get put into this situation,' Hayley said, 'but I get really uncomfortable asking something a guest might not want to answer.' Then Max dove into the real question: 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having love scenes on TV?' referring to Kidman's 2024 Netflix film A Family Affair. Seconds later, their Zoom connection dropped. 'He's just disconnected,' someone behind the scenes confirmed. Hayley reacted in disbelief: 'That's 100 percent what just happened. We've upset him! He's gone.' The co-hosts were left scrambling, unsure whether Urban had ended the call himself or if his team had stepped in. 'He doesn't like talking about his wife,' Hayley said. Max, still surprised, added, 'I thought we were vibing!' Before things went sideways, Urban had shared excitement about returning to the stage and admitted he still gets nervous before shows, likening the feeling to 'a racehorse kicking the stalls.' Urban's High and Alive World Tour is set to hit Australia starting mid-August.
