The country crooner and his actress wife stepped out in style for country music’s biggest night, but something in the spotlight caught online observers off guard.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman arrived at the 60th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards on May 8, 2025, in Frisco, Texas, turning heads with their polished red carpet look. But as photos of the couple made their rounds online, fans began commenting on Urban’s demeanor.

Wearing complementary black ensembles, the couple posed with ease. The 57-year-old musician donned a pinstripe suit and open-collared shirt, his tousled hair and light stubble completing the look.
Kidman, 57, stood beside him in a sleeveless black dress with a leather-like finish, the fitted silhouette emphasizing her tall frame. Her straight, middle-parted blonde hair framed a soft smile as she rested a hand on Urban’s chest, offering a calm, affectionate contrast to his more reserved look.
