'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 'didn't hang up' on racy interview question
Keith Urban has appeared to abruptly end a radio 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 Australian country music star was speaking on Mix 102.3 on Tuesday 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. "Keith did not hang up, period," a source told People. "He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothing burger." Pearson described the supposedly controversial chat show section that allegedly prompted Urban to hang up as a segment where they ask guests "a very tricky" and "deeply personal" question. Burford began it by asking Urban: "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." Urban replied politely: "Oh yeah, that's a good one." Burford 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, Urban disappeared from the call. Another voice on the show said he'd been "disconnected from Zoom". Burton 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." The source told People that Urban 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 stars alongside Zac Efron in A Family Affair, released in June 2024. In the film, the actor plays a widowed writer who begins dating Efron's character, a self-absorbed actor employing her daughter as a personal assistant. Kidman 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." Urban and Kidman married in 2006 and celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in June.

Keith Urban abruptly quits interview after awkward Nicole Kidman question
Keith Urban abruptly ended a live radio interview today, after an 'uncomfortable' question about wife Nicole Kidman came up. The Blue Ain't Your Color singer, 57, has been married to the Babygirl actress for nearly 20 years, and they have welcomed two daughters together in that time. The couple, who tied the knot in 2006, have kept much of their relationship behind closed doors, so the Grammy-winner didn't seem too thrilled when he was asked about watching some of the 58-year-old's steamiest sex scenes. During an appearance on Hayley & Max in the Morning, on Mix 102.3, things took a turn when he played a game with hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford. 'In our Wall of Truth, Keith, we often get put into this situation where we have to answer a very tricky question, deeply personal question,' Hayley informed him. 'I get really uncomfortable, to be honest, asking our beautiful guests something they might feel uncomfortable [answering].' Clearly in good spirits, Keith quickly interjected: 'What about the ugly ones?' 'Not you, Keith. No ugly guests on today,' Max replied, to which their guest could be heard laughing. 'The way the Wall of Truth works is that you just have to answer this question truthfully. '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, 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, A Family Affair.' 'Oh yeah, that's a good one,' the singer proudly praised. However, things took a turn when Max questioned: '[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?'' The query was met with silence from Keith's end, before it was confirmed that he had left the call. 'He's just disconnected from Zoom,' a man – thought to be a producer – said. 'I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question.' 'That's 100 percent what's just happened,' Hayley remarked. 'I knew that would happen … We've upset him! He's gone. 'He doesn't like talking about his wife.' Nicole and Keith have been together since 2005, and walked down the aisle together the following year. They share daughters Sunday Rose and Faith together, while the Big Little Lies actress previously adopted children Bella and Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise. Although they have kept much of their romance away from the spotlight, the Oscar-winner couldn't help but celebrate their 19-year wedding anniversary last month, sharing a loved-up snap on Instagram. 'Happy Anniversary Baby @KeithUrban,' she simply captioned the post. In recent years, Nicole has basically been everywhere – thanks to roles in The Perfect Couple, Spellbound, Holland and racy Netflix movie A Family Affair, in which she embarks on a romance with Zac, who plays her daughter's needy boss. At the beginning of 2025, she also led the way in steamy erotic thriller Babygirl, opposite Harris Dickinson, and shared how much filming took out of her, declaring that she suffered 'burnout' during the shoot. More Trending She said at the time: 'There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm any more.' ''Don't come near me. I hate doing this. I don't care if I am never touched again in my life! I'm over it.' 'It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.' Metro has contacted Keith's reps for a comment.
