Just days after Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban, a two-month-old interview with Urban has resurfaced in which the country musician seemed uncomfortable discussing his marriage.
Urban appeared on the July 22 episode of “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” and in the chat, notably offered little in the way of commentary about Kidman, whom he married in 2006 and has two children with.
When Seacrest asked how Urban and Kidman manage their respective schedules in Hollywood and on the road, the musician simply shrugged.
“It’s a job, yeah,” he said. “Life is in session.”
Moments later, Seacrest speculated that the two stars must prioritize making time for one another since they’ve been together for 19 years, and Urban seemed a bit evasive.
“Mhm, yeah,” he replied.

Kidman filed for divorce from Urban on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
TMZ broke news of the split, which People later confirmed via court documents filed in Nashville, Tennessee, where Kidman and Urban have lived since 2007.
The pair spent much of the summer apart, with Kidman filming “Practical Magic 2” with Sandra Bullock in London and Urban performing across the globe on his High and Alive World Tour.
Though Kidman paid tribute to Urban with a sweet anniversary post on Instagram in June, a source close to the couple told People this week that the two had been living “separately for a while now,” adding: “Their lives were moving in different directions, and once he quietly set up his own place, it felt like the writing was on the wall.”
Meanwhile, footage of Urban performing “The Fighter” ― a song believed to have been inspired by his romance with Kidman ― while on tour is raising eyebrows for a notable lyric change.
The song’s original line was, “When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter.” That night, Urban instead sang, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player.”
The tweak was a nod to rising country artist Maggie Baugh, who performed alongside Urban that night and later shared the footage on her TikTok account.
