JEALOUS NICOLE PUTS KEITH ON 24/ 7 WATCH!
The Theactress actress is determined to keep an eye on Keith and his hot country singer sidekick Miranda
Keith Urban has announced he’s reuniting with country music siren Miranda Lambert on stage next year – and for his wife Nicole Kidman, it’s pretty much her worst-case scenario.
The actress has been wary of Miranda ever since she first toured with Keith in 2005, and after a series of flirty comments made towards her husband, insiders say alarm bells are ringing for Nicole, 52.
Sources tell Woman’s Day Miranda, 36, declared to a Nashville audience earlier this year that Keith, 52, is “her hero” and “smells good – he always smells good”.
TAKING NO CHANCES
“Those comments went down like a sinking ship with Nicole,” says an insider. “She’s not a fan of Miranda, and to make matters worse, her and Keith have just announced co-headlining a summer concert tour in Wisconsin next year. Thankfully, Keith’s security has been upped and Nicole sees having extra minders as a bonus. Nic hopes that having her security guys means Keith is never left alone with Miranda. A lot of people in Keith’s camp see her concern as overkill, but Nicole isn’t leaving this to chance.”
And according to several insiders, Nic – who is mum to their two daughters, Sunday, 11, and Faith, eight – has every right to be concerned.
“Miranda can get any man she wants – whether he’s married or not,” says a source.
“Her first husband Blake Shelton has admitted he fell in love with her while he was still married to his first wife Kaynette Williams, so you can’t blame Nic for wanting to keep an obsessive eye on this friendship of Miranda and Keith’s.”
The singers have known each other for more than 14 years, with the pair collaborating in 2013 on the duet We Were Us.
KEEPING TABS
“It’s never sat well with Nicole. Miranda is way too flirty with her husband and it brings out the jealous side in her,” says the source.
“It doesn’t help she’s had her suspicions in the past that his pretty blonde support acts get too close.
“It’s gotten to the point where she’s keeping watch on him through staffers as much as she used to when he was a recovering drug addict.
“Just after they got married, she used to think nothing of giving him her private jet and security team as long as it meant she could check in with what he was doing and who he was with 24/7.
“Now she’s doing the exact same thing, except it’s Miranda she’s worried about, not drug addiction.”
‘Miranda is too flirty and brings out the jealous side in Nicole’
What should have been a dream day is quickly turning into a nightmare for former Married At First Sight stars Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant, who are said to be barely speaking in the wake of their made-for-tv wedding and questioning if they did the right thing.
A friend of former cricket star Cam, 35, exclusively reveals that he’s been left shocked by the nasty backlash the couple have received.
“He’s just crushed, he’s shocked by people’s outrage, he didn’t expect this sort of reaction,” reveals a source.
“Cam had doubts about doing this so publicly again, and was eventually persuaded by Jules and the network, so to see that people are angry has left him feeling absolutely heartbroken.”
While Cam and Jules, 37, left the show’s sixth season as favourites, fans and their former castmates have been ruthless with their criticism of the couple’s choice to cash in on their wedding day, which they were rumoured to have been paid $75,000 for.
“Seems like an advertisement for wedding services,” said one angry viewer. “The fact that I am seeing the A Current Affair logo
at the bottom left hand corner makes me sick,” wrote another.
Following the wedding, viewers collectively blasted the couple for including relentless plugs and shameless promotions throughout the special in a bid to score free wedding supplies.
Their former castmates have also been quick to turn on them, with Jessika Power, 28, claiming Jules’ “bad side” was edited out of the show to maintain her “angelic” portrayal, while former MAFS star Nasser Sultan thought their $75,000 fee should have been donated to bushfire victims.
‘He was certainly enjoying the free champagne!’
Others labelled Jules “cruel” for dumping former bridesmaid Melissa Lucarelli, with our source revealing one of the reasons she got rid of her friend was down to the fact that Melissa was spruiking Celebrity Slim, which clashed with Jules’ role as ambassador for WW.
