KEITH'S HEARTBREAK FIGHTING TO SAVE NICOLE

A series of demanding roles are taking their toll

With Nicole Kidman confirming Big Little Lies season three is underway, sources tell Woman's Day her husband Keith Urban has been left wondering where he fits into her busy schedule and is concerned for his wife's wellbeing.

Those close to the couple insist crooner Keith, 56, is worried about his wife's penchant for intense roles.

"Nicole looks frail," commented one fan online of eyebrow-raising images of the 56-year-old actress filming new erotic thriller Babygirl in New York.

And the telltale pictures are said to have also sparked concerns for Keith, who worries Nicole is being pushed into provocative and challenging characters that no doubt impact his wife, a known method actress, and her welfare.

EMOTIONAL TURMOIL

"You're doing it sometimes and it's just a flood of emotion," Nicole admits of her latest role in Amazon Prime's Expats.

"Because it took so long to make [the series], it became a part of who I was. It was strange, because it was always there. There was no closure, even for so many years that we were working on the show."

Of course, Nicole has admitted to falling victim to her emotionally exhausting roles in the past.

In 2021, Nicole recalled the difficulty of her role as domestic violence survivor Celeste Wright in Big Little Lies, which saw her leaving the set with bruises that she later had to explain to her young daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 13.
