Country music star Keith Urban shocked listeners and left two Adelaide radio hosts stunned after abruptly ending a live interview when asked an intimate question about his wife, Nicole Kidman. Urban was speaking with Hayley Pearson and Max Burford from Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning ahead of his High and Alive world tour, which includes a stop in Adelaide. The conversation started off friendly and upbeat, with Urban expressing enthusiasm about performing for South Australian fans.
Wall of Truth Segment Backfires After Personal Question About Nicole Kidman Ends Interview
Trouble arose during a recurring segment on the show called “Wall of Truth,” where guests are encouraged to answer candid and often personal questions. While Urban initially seemed open to participating, the tone shifted when host Max Burford posed a sensitive question involving Urban’s wife. He asked how Urban felt about Nicole Kidman performing romantic scenes with younger actors like Zac Efron. After a moment of silence, the call suddenly disconnected, leaving the hosts confused.

As the line went dead, the show’s producer speculated that Urban’s team may have ended the call intentionally to avoid the question. Hayley and Max reacted with a mix of surprise and regret, wondering whether they had damaged their relationship with the Grammy-winning artist.
Hayley admitted she had a feeling something might go wrong with the question, while Max humorously asked if they now had “beef” with Urban. The incident highlighted the delicate balance between playful celebrity interviews and respecting personal boundaries.
Keith Urban Sets Firm Boundaries When Asked About Nicole Kidman in Interviews
This isn’t the first time Keith Urban has shown discomfort when asked about Nicole Kidman in interviews. In a previous podcast appearance on Jam Nation with Jonesy & Amanda, the singer appeared visibly irritated when host Amanda Keller brought up his relationship with Kidman and asked about the origins of their romance. Despite Keller’s attempts to make the topic light-hearted and complimentary, Urban’s responses were short and dismissive, indicating his reluctance to engage in such discussions.
Urban’s repeated resistance to questions about his wife underscores a clear boundary he maintains between his public persona and private life. While fans may be intrigued by his high-profile marriage, Urban prefers to focus interviews on his music and career. As seen in both recent and past media interactions, the artist has little patience for prying into his relationship, often cutting off such inquiries abruptly. For interviewers, the message is clear: steer clear of Kidman if you want to keep the conversation going.
