Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s 19-year marriage has come to an end, with insiders claiming discussions about her “sexual reawakening” on film sets as a major point of contention leading to their split. Kidman reportedly tried to keep it under wraps for months.
Insider reveals Keith Urban’s reaction to Nicole Kidman’s sexual awakening
Keith Urban was reportedly “tired of hearing [Nicole] rave about her sexual reawakening and animal attraction to her costars.” Radar Online sources claim that the couple had been living separate lives long before the official split, with Urban moving into his own Nashville home in June, months before Kidman filed for divorce on September 30.
Nicole Kidman has been open about rediscovering her sensual side through her film roles. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore.’ I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life … it was almost like a burnout.” She described the experience as “liberating”, calling it empowering to play such a “raw and dangerous” character. This is in reference to her latest movie, Babygirl, an erotic drama also starring Harris Dickinson.
Now, these remarks, which came while promoting her Netflix romantic comedy A Family Affair, also included high praise for her much-younger co-star Zac Efron. The on-screen chemistry between the two reportedly became a recurring point of tension for Urban, who has avoided questions about those intimate scenes.
In fact, during a radio interview in Australia, Urban abruptly ended the call when hosts tried to bring up Kidman’s steamy performances. “I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question,” the show’s producer revealed. “He’s gone – see you, Keith!”
While Kidman reportedly feels “betrayed and shattered” by the sudden end of their nearly two-decade-long marriage, Urban seems to have moved on quickly. Insiders told the outlet that he’s been romantically linked to 25-year-old Maggie Baugh, a member of his touring band.
