The Australian guitarist was put on the spot during a Tuesday appearance on Mix 102.3's "Hayley & Max in the Morning" show.

"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?"

"When Keith is watching her work, he sees it as her art. She is playing characters, she isn't playing Nicole Kidman," the informant explained. "Keith isn't wincing during these types of scenes; he knows it is just part of the story."

A Sweet 19th Anniversary Tribute

Urban's dramatic exit from the interview comes less than a week after the lovebirds marked their 19th wedding anniversary.

For the impressive milestone, the "Big Little Lies" actress took to Instagram to share a heartfelt photo. In the black-and-white snap, Kidman leaned affectionately on her husband, who was holding his guitar, in what looked like a dressing room.

The couple donned matching black tops and looked so in love in the post captioned, "Happy Anniversary Baby [red heart emoji] @KeithUrban."

Although the famous guitarist didn't post a personal tribute, he commented with a red heart emoji underneath the post. Kidman and Urban have been married since June 2006 and share two beautiful daughters, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14.

Before celebrating their anniversary, close sources reported the couple was dealing with issues sparked by Kidman's extremely busy schedule.

An insider revealed that Urban was "concerned" because his wife was backtracking on slowing down her career in 2025.

Despite intending only to film two major projects this year, the six-time Golden Globe winner was seen on set filming "Margo's Got Money Troubles," causing her husband to worry.

"Keith isn't angry, but he's worried and understandably very frustrated. He knows how much Nic loves her job, but she keeps moving the goalposts. Instead of putting herself first–something he and the kids need her to do–she's putting work first every time."
