Keith Urban has appeared to have hung up on an Adelaide radio show after being asked a question about his superstar wife's raunchy on-screen interactions with younger men.
Speaking with Mix 102.3 hosts Max Burford and Hayley Pearson on Tuesday morning via zoom call, the country singer was complimented on his youthful appearance.
'I just want to say, you literally have not aged in 20 years. You look amazing,' Pearson said to Urban.
Urban then took part in the radio show's 'Wall of Truth' segment, in which guests are posed a series of often personal and revealing questions.
He was pressed about his wife and actress Nicole Kidman's raunchy scenes with younger actors such as Zac Efron, who Kidman starred alongside in 2024 film 'A Family Affair'.
'When I was coming up with something to ask you Keith Urban, if you're happy to play this game... 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?' Burford asked the country singer.
Urban was then suddenly disconnected from the call after he or someone on his team appeared to hang up, leaving the radio hosts bewildered, with Burford asking 'Oh, why has that happened? What's just happened?'.
'Did he just hang up on us?' Pearson questioned.
The breakfast radio show crew then began to debate why the interview had abruptly ended.
'He doesn't like the personal stuff... oh I knew that would happen,' Pearson said.
'If you knew it was going to happen, why didn't you stop me asking the question?' Burford then asked his co-host.
A producer on the radio show immediately tried contacting Urban's publicist as to what had happened, before saying "I may have gotten ghosted from the publicist".
As well as her scenes with Efron in A Family Affair, Kidman also appeared in 'Babygirl' last year, where she portrayed a chief executive having an affair which a much younger intern.
Kidman in March revealed to the Hollywood Reporter in March that she was 'off' acting for the rest of the year after starring in several recent blockbusters, but the actress later seemingly backtracked on her plans for a break.
Urban was reportedly 'worried' about his wife after she was spotted on the set of a TV series just weeks after she spoke to the Hollywood Reporter.
"Keith isn't angry, but he's worried and understandably very frustrated," an insider said to New Idea in April.
"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."
