They’ve been separated since the beginning of summer... I had them going the distance,” he remarked.Reflecting on his past experiences interviewing the couple, Bush recalled how he used to arrange them during joint appearances.“Oh man, I always used to love interviewing them. I always used to put Keith in the middle because, you know, the height thing, always felt better with Keith next to me and Nicole a little further down,” he explained.Bush also highlighted the couple’s consistent public support for one another. He noted how Kidman often joined Urban at country music events such as the Country Music Awards, while Urban frequently accompanied her to film-related appearances. According to Bush, all of this was really “very sweet, complimentary,” and signs of a “good couple.”He concluded by acknowledging that both Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were likely struggling privately with the situation, and he urged viewers to show compassion.“And you know what? Let’s be positive for them because they’re hurting too, and let’s just say this, ‘Good run,’” Bush said.More about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s separation after nearly two decades of togethernessKeith Urban and Nicole Kidman (Image via Getty)Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, once regarded as one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, separated, according to a TMZ report published on September 29, 2025.
