Keith Urban Says He ‘Binged’ Wife Nicole Kidman’s Show The Perfect Couple and Fans Tell Him They ‘Love It’ (Exclusive)

Nicole Kidman’s new Netflix’s hit The Perfect Couple has TV fans transfixed, but the show is anything but new to her husband, Keith Urban.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 21, Urban, 56, revealed that he got a preview screening before the show hit screens on Sept. 5.

“I saw the whole thing before it came out, binged it,” he told PEOPLE of the show. “It’s been amazing. I’ve had so many people stop me and say how much they love it.”

The six-episode limited series is a murder mystery based on The New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand’s novel by the same name and features Kidman and Liev Schreiber playing a wealthy married couple living in a massive Nantucket home.

But despite knowing the ending of the show before the rest of the general public, Urban isn’t ever concerned about spoiling the plot for others.

“I’m the best secret keeper you’ll ever meet,” he said. “I’ll go to my grave with secrets.”

While Kidman, 57, — whom Urban married in 2006 and shares two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret with — has a new show, the country star has a new album, High, which was released on Friday, Sept. 20.

However, Urban thought he’d be releasing a completely different record last year.

“I scrapped another album,” he told PEOPLE. “I finished an album in early 2023, 13 tracks, and decided to scrap pretty much the whole thing.”

At the time, the four-time Grammy winner was frustrated and “not getting the feeling from the record” he hoped for, he said.

“Sometimes, if I don’t know what to do, I’ll start with figuring out what I don’t want to do, and I made the record that I didn’t want to make apparently to figure out which one did I want to make,” he added.

High, he explained, is built around just four songs from that never-released album.

“It was not a good time for me,” he said of the period when he discarded the 2023 album, “but I just stayed the course and did what was flowing. Then this record got finished, and now I see it in hindsight and go, ‘I’m so glad that I followed it.’”

Rocking a red and black check shirt, black t-shirt and matching black pants, Urban performed one of High’s songs, “Messed Up As Me,” at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Sept. 21 and he’ll play more from the album at his upcoming Vegas residency show at Fontainebleau, which begins in October.

“Thankfully, these [songs] are out, and it’s a new room,” he said. “So I like to get a feel for what’s going to work in the room and how we can play with the room.”
