Keith Urban Stays Chill When Probed on Nicole Kidman’s “Spice”
I suppose you need me to spell this out: Keith Urban remains the most composed spouse in showbiz—even when chatty Aussie DJs try to trip him up with spicy queries about Nicole Kidman. During a recent Nova 96.9 broadcast in Sydney, the singer-songwriter fielded a cheeky question about his marriage life, and spoiler alert: he did not hang up. In fact, he effortlessly diffused the entire moment, proving yet again why he’s known as Hollywood’s easygoing guitar hero.
Urban was in town promoting his upcoming Australian tour dates and latest single, yet radio hosts Smallzy and Becky couldn’t resist slipping in an eyebrow-raising question about how he and Kidman keep their romance sizzling after nearly two decades together. According to Nova’s own recap and corroborated by People magazine, the hosts asked Urban, “Do you still keep the spark alive, or has married life gotten a bit… tame?” While some stars might bristle at such intimate prodding, Urban simply chuckled and said, “We’re better at guitar solos than pillow talk, but we’re doing just fine.” He then smoothly steered the conversation back to his new track, delivering details about the songwriting process and upcoming live performances.
If you’re wondering whether Urban ever lost his cool, the answer is a firm no. Fox News and Daily Mail confirmed that at no point did he hang up or clash with the presenters. Instead, he handled the moment with a blend of wit and respect—no small feat given the hosts’ persistent follow-ups about bedtime routines and anniversary celebrations. Sources say Urban even complimented Kidman’s cooking, dropping the line, “Her lasagna is more thrilling than any arena I’ve packed.” It was a textbook display of disarming charm, leaving the DJs scrambling to pivot back to music chat.
To catch up: you’ve got a Grammy winner promoting fresh tunes, Aussie radio hosts fishing for tabloid fodder, and an actor’s husband who refuses to bite. Urban’s reluctance to treat his personal life as a punchline underscores why fans—and even gossip-hungry broadcasters—can’t help but admire his poise. He’s got new tour dates, new music, and apparently, impeccable self-control.
Next time you hear a celebrity start to sweep questions under the rug, remember Keith Urban’s playbook: stay cool, joke lightly, and guide the discussion back to your work. Hopefully that wasn’t too convoluted. Well, now you finally understand!
