Nicole Kidman’s bold career choices may have played a role in the collapse of her 19-year marriage to Keith Urban. The actress, 58, stunned fans with a series of racy film and TV roles that left her husband reportedly struggling.
In the past year, Kidman starred in Babygirl, A Family Affair, and The Perfect Couple, each packed with steamy love scenes. While she described the roles as “liberating,” Urban appeared less comfortable. During a July interview, he abruptly ended a call when asked about her on-screen romances. “He doesn’t like talking about his wife—it’s private,” one producer explained.
The couple’s distance grew more visible. Kidman promoted her films solo, while Urban toured the US. At their final public outing, they appeared cold and distant, sparking rumors of deeper cracks. An insider revealed: “The intimacy isn’t there anymore. Keith had to call her out that he isn’t happy.”
Now living apart, with Urban in Nashville and Kidman in London, their split highlights the strain fame and demanding careers can place on love. Do you think passion on screen should ever affect what happens behind closed doors?
