Keith Urban was reportedly displeased with one of Nicole Kidman’s most recent movie roles, fearing the sexual content might make him the target of crude jokes.
Multiple sources told Page Six the country singer was disapproving of Kidman’s starring role in “Babygirl” and did not like that she was promotingthe film.
One insider alleged the 57-year-old thought the subject matter would expose him to public ridicule.
The raunchy flick explores a BDSM dynamic between Kidman’s character, a high-powered CEO, and Harris Dickinson’s character, her young male intern.
Her character begins an affair with Dickinson’s out of dissatisfaction with her marital sex life.

In an odd twist, Urban has the word “babygirl” tattooed on the back of his neck in tribute to Kidman.
The actress told W Magazine the coincidence was a “sprinkling of fairy dust that happens”.
“He actually has ‘babygirl’ tattooed on the back of his neck. Keith’s not allowed to call anyone else babygirl. But now, because of the film, it’s taken on a different meaning.”
Kidman went on to say Urban claimed he still maintained “total rights over babygirl” in spite of the film.
According to TMZ, Kidman and Urban have not lived together “since the beginning of summer”.
Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, citing irreconcilable differences and including a 13 page “parenting plan” for their two daughters.
The former couple plan to continue coparenting Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, but Kidman will be the girl’s “primary residential parent”.
