Nicole Kidman is both blushing over and reluctantly accepting her husband Keith Urban’s song lyrics about their (apparently lively) sex life. In the grand tradition of Usher’s “Yeah!,” in which the rapper Ludacris declares his desire for “a lady in the streets but a freak in the bed,” Urban noted Kidman’s dual sexual and intellectual prowess in his 2018 song “Gemini,” singing, “She’s a maniac in the bed but a brainiac in her head.”

“I don’t censor his art, but it is a little embarrassing,” Kidman told the Australian radio show Kyle & Jackie O. Ad yet she admits it’s preferable to a ballad about marital-bed death: “It’s better than saying, ‘God, I’m so bored. Make an effort, Nicole!’ ”

Clearly still trying to make Kidman squirm, cohost Kyle Sandilands also proceeded to press the Big Little Lies star on another eye-opening “Gemini” lyric, in which Urban croons: “She’ll wake you to make love in the middle of the night.” But this time Kidman demurred: “No, what?! You’re making that up, Kyle. Shut up. I’m not answering that. That’s outrageous.”

Of course Kidman has nothing to be ashamed of. True to her Gemini astrological sign, the June 20 born actress/powerhouse producer may just contain dualities. As Urban sings, “Wears the hell outta that dress, but she’s pretty even when a mess...baby, she’s both.”
