“My husband is an artist, so he understands all of it, and he also does not get involved,” the award-winning movie star explained.
Fast forward to 2024, Kidman, now 57, stars in the upcoming erotic thriller “Babygirl.” In this intense film, the Australian native takes on the role of a powerful CEO who jeopardizes both her career and family in a steamy affair with her significantly younger intern, played by English actor, Harris Dickinson, who is 28.

“There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It’s like, ‘Don’t touch me,'” Kidman added. Reflecting on the emotional toll, she even confessed, “I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life! I’m over it.”

The insider added that Urban “isn’t wincing during these types of scenes” and keeps a respectful distance from his wife’s work. He puts focus only on her schedule to coordinate family time with the actress and their children.

The source further noted that, just as the girls don’t attend all of Urban’s concerts, Kidman feels relieved knowing they aren’t exposed to some of her more revealing work.
One felt uncomfortable with Kidman’s candidness about her role. “Honestly, this is horrible to hear. Why would she share this kinda [sic] inappropriate information to the world?” questioned one person, calling it “distasteful” and “revolting.” Some even questioned the effect on their marriage, with a user asking, “What’s the point of being married if you’re being into infidelity?”
As Kidman and Keith Urban continue to navigate the challenges of fame, artistic expression, and family life, their relationship appears to be grounded in mutual respect and understanding. Kidman’s bold career choices and Urban’s unwavering support showcase a modern approach to partnership, one where individuality and artistic freedom coexist with family priorities.
While reactions from fans may be divided, the couple remains focused on what matters most to them—each other and their family. As Kidman’s career evolves, it’s clear that her commitment to authenticity, both on-screen and off, remains unshaken.
