Nicole Kidman’s husband Keith Urban refused to talk about wife in awkward encounter following her mother’s death.
During an exclusive interview with The Times on Friday, September 20, the 56-year-old offered an insight into his family’s devastating situation after they lost a valuable member.
He told the outlet, “Yeah, everybody's good, man. Thank you for asking.”
Refusing to address his mother-in-law’s death and Nicole’s emotional state, he added, “I just don't want to give you guys a headline about my wife, Ed.”
Meanwhile, the Perfect Couple star, who received AFI Lifetime Achievement Award for her tremendous work in the industry, expressed her grief in a statement read by director Halina Reijn upon her win.
“Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed.
“I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me.
“I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.”
The 57-year-old celebrity’s mother passed away last weekend at the age of 84, as announced by her Babygirl director at the Venice Film Festival.
