No, Keith Urban Didn't Hang Up on Radio Hosts After Being Asked About Nicole Kidman's Movie Sex Scenes (Exclusive)

Keith Urban seemingly ended an interview rather abruptly after a pair of radio show hosts asked a personal question about his wife Nicole Kidman’s intimate career moments — but all is not as it seems.

A source tells PEOPLE that despite the slew of headlines surrounding the incident, the country singer, 57, was not the one who ended the interview with Australia’s Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning on Tuesday, July 1.

"Keith did not hang up, period," the source says. "He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothingburger."

Urban was chatting with hosts Max Burford and Hayley Pearson when they introduced a game called Wall of Truth, during which they ask their guests a "very tricky" and "deeply personal" question, Pearson explained.

"When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you happen to play this game, the first thing I thought of, with your beautiful wife Nicole Kidman being on so many great movies, TV shows all the time… I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair," Burford said.

Urban responded politely, saying, "Oh yeah, that’s a good one."

At that point, Burford continued his question, asking, "And I thought, 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful loves scenes on TV and radio?'"

Once Burford concluded his question, Urban was no longer on the call, and another voice said he’d been "disconnected from Zoom."

"I think his team hung up on us because they didn’t want us to ask that question," the voice said.

Pearson then said she believed that was "100% what just happened" because the star "doesn’t like the personal stuff," though Burford seemed confused, as he said Urban was "smiling" on the call.

The source tells PEOPLE the country star is a "very easygoing" interview subject and did not personally take issue with the question.

A rep for Urban had no comment on the radio show interaction.

Kidman, 58, starred opposite Efron, 37, in A Family Affair, which came out in June 2024. In the film, she stars as a widowed writer who starts dating the self-absorbed actor (played by Efron) who employs her daughter as a personal assistant.

"It’s really helpful when you’re doing this sort of work together that you’ve already got a history together, because it’s easy," Kidman, who also worked with Efron on the 2012 movie The Paperboy, told PEOPLE last year. "You’re not working to create a history. So I’m not like, ‘Can I touch you?’ I feel incredibly trusting of Zac."

Urban and Kidman were married in 2006, and celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary last month. They are parents to daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14.

“Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban,” Kidman wrote in an Instagram post that featured a black-and-white photo of the pair sharing a hug.

In December, Kidman told PEOPLE that the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer still knows how to keep her on her toes.

"I like being asked out, which he still does," she said. "Seven nights ago, we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I'm open [to everything]. I like not knowing where he’s going to take me. Surprise me, baby!"

Urban launched his High and Alive World Tour in May in support of his latest album High. He will play on through October.
