Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s Sex Life Was ‘Sorely Lacking’ Prior to Split: They ‘Fell Out of Lust’ (Exclusive)
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s marriage dramatically collapsed in the past few years – and a source tells the National Enquirer that “bedroom action was sorely lacking,” despite their best efforts to fool fans into believing the opposite.
“Keith and Nicole fell out of love, but perhaps more tellingly, they fell out of lust,” the source says. “The spark wasn’t there for either of them for a very long time. It’s very obvious now, especially in hindsight, that he found her uptight and controlling, and she was clearly turned off by the half-in-half-out attitude he had towards the marriage — not to mention how grumpy and stressed out he was about the worst year in his professional life.”
Urban’s 2024 album, High, had a disappointing debut on the Billboard charts at No. 38 – his lowest in more than 20 years – and the terrible reviews are said to have prompted the 57-year-old musician to start totally fresh.
“It’s supremely ironic that Nicole was getting so hot and heavy with costars and preaching about having this sexual awakening when the reality in her life was anything but,” the source continues. “Ultimately, this is a classic case of two people trying too hard to force something that wasn’t working, and for Keith it became unbearable to be trapped in a marriage with no sex.”
Earlier this summer, Urban abruptly ended an interview during an appearance on Hayley and Max in the Morning, an Australian radio show hosted by Hayley Pearson and Max Burford.
When Burford asked “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?” the country star seemingly hung up without another word.
A source later told People that Urban “did not hang up.” Adding, “He doesn’t host his Zoom interviews.”
On Monday, September 29, news broke that Urban and Kidman, 58, who married in 2006, had separated. Despite sources telling People that it wasn’t “a mutual decision” and that the Babygirl actress had been “fighting to save their marriage,” she officially filed for divorce the following day.
