Nicole Kidman Just Stood by Her Movies Amid Reports Keith Urban Hated Babygirl: ‘So Much to Say… ‘
There are always things people might not agree with each other on during a marriage. Divorce just brings them out in the open. And the open, when you’re a celebrity, is often up for public consumption. Now that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are getting a divorce, his opinions about her job and the movies she has chosen are being scrutinized as people try to figure out why the marriage ended.
According to Page Six, Urban wasn’t very supportive of Kidman’s latest big role in Babygirl, to the point that he didn’t join her at the Venice Film Festival last year when the movie premiered, or at the Toronto Film Festival in its North American premiere. In the movie, Kidman plays a CEO who has an affair with her intern due to her dissatisfaction surrounding her sex life with her husband.

“Keith didn’t like the film and he didn’t even like Nicole promoting the movie,” an insider told the outlet. In fact, sources indicate Urban feared he would be mocked due to the film’s plotline.
Proof of this is in the fact that Urban appeared to end an interview on Australia’s Mix 102.3 Hayley & Max in the Morning early when he was asked about this very thing.
“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?” the host asked. ”I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question,” the producer then chimed in. “He’s gone, see you Keith.”
The other co-host then remarked that they “upset” Urban because he “doesn’t like the personal stuff.” The singer, however, denied dropping the call.
No matter what Urban might think or not, it doesn’t seem like Kidman will be stopping anytime soon. “So much to say and so little time to say it,” Kidman told Vogue in an October 8 cover story. “About death and life and joy and grief and loss and sex and why we’re here and what is truth and is truth even necessary.” She then went on to explain the things she wanted to explore through art. “Are we human? Are there parallel universes? What is the future? Do we even care? Are we living in a dream? What is reality? Where are we going?”
“Why do I keep working?” she said in the interview. “Why stop? You’ll have to tie me down, tie me up!”
Kidman and Urban got married in 2006 and have two children together, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman filed for divorce on Tuesday, Sept. 30, in Nashville, where the couple has lived together since 2007. She listed irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Ever since, there have been rumors about why they really broke up. And though Urban’s feelings about Kidman’s movies could have certainly played a part, there are other—bigger—rumors floating around.
“The rumor is that he’s with a younger woman in the business,” a “Nashville music industry source told Daily Mail. “It’s all everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.”
And that feels more like a reason to break up than what movie Kidman appeared in or not.
