Nicole Kidman ‘disappointed’ over husband Keith Urban’s ‘heroin’ post after his past addiction battles

Nicole Kidman is not impressed with her husband Keith Urban’s latest stunt.

Last week, the 56-year-old country music star performed an acoustic cover of Ariana Grande’s hit single We Can’t Be Friends during an intimate performance, posting a video of the show to his social media and captioning his post: “this song is audible heroin.”

The Australian rocker doubled down in an interview with People where he once again equated the railway with the illegal drug.

“I don’t know what’s going on with that song, but I can’t stop playing it. It’s like audible heroin. Literally, I have yet to get a hit,” he said.

“I play that thing over and over again.”

The bizarre connection raised eyebrows not only among fans, but also his wife, a Hollywood actress, also 56, who has supported and stood by him during his drug and alcohol addiction battles in the past.

“Nicole would never ask him to delete a post, but she was disappointed,” an insider said Women’s Day magazine.

“It brought a very dark time when they almost broke up, but worse than that is she doesn’t want her kids to think it’s cool or okay or something you can easily ‘fix’.”

The insider added that the couple – who share daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13 – “went through hell because of Keith’s addictions.”

However, Ariana was flattered by Keith’s exuberant post and performance, writing on Instagram: “This is so beautiful.”

Urban publicly battled drug and alcohol addiction and entered rehab several times. The last time he checked into the Betty Ford Center was in October 2006, just months after he married Nicole.

Keith once recalled the moment his wife Nicole organized an intervention for his addiction problems, in an excerpt from Jeff Apter’s book Keith Urban.

Keith told Rolling Stone magazine in 2016 that he would have understood if Nicole had chosen to leave him after his rehab stint in 2006, as the couple had only married that year.

“I was very blessed that Nic called for an intervention on me,” Keith said, adding that his reckless behavior “caused the implosion of my new marriage.”

He also reflected on the Oprah Winfrey intervention, admitting to the famed talk show host that he was “going off the rails” and “needed help and a new direction” in his life.

Nicole, who was working in Rome at the time of his rule, flew back to the United States and gathered his friends to organize an intervention.

“The love in that room at that moment was just right,” Keith told Oprah. “To see love in action like that… I’ve never experienced anything like it before.”

Keith has been open about his past struggles with alcohol addiction, revealing at the South By Southwest conference in Texas in 2018 that he wished he had gotten sober earlier in life.

“I wish I had gotten sober many years earlier, but it is what it is,” he said.

“I knew I wasn’t reaching my full potential, and that was starting to get to me. I was a slave… I lived a very, very small life.”

Keith also admitted that he was “bad for relationships” before meeting Nicole, and that his lyrics about love were far from his reality.

“I would write these songs about love and relationships; I remember writing Somebody Like You and playing it for my girlfriend at the time. “She just looked at me and said, ‘You’re a hypocrite,’ and I couldn’t argue with that,” he said.

Keith and Nicole met in 2005 and tied the knot a year later. They are parents to daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
