Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman frequently make a country music awards ceremony a date night, but at the 2022 CMA Awards, the artist was travelling alone.

So where was his 16-year wife? Kidman wanted to be there but was filming in Baltimore, he exclusively told E! News. The Big Little Lies actress and Taylor Sheridan are co-producing the new spy drama Lioness for Paramount+.

“We weren’t quite expecting this to happen, but film schedules are unpredictable,” Urban said on the red carpet, adding, “She misses being here tonight too.”
