In spite of rumors to the contrary, actress Nicole Kidman's country singer husband Keith Urban is still in rehab, his publicist Paul Freundlich said. Rumors of Urban having left rehab started after a celebrity magazine reported seeing the 39-year-old singer sharing a brunch with his 39-year-old wife on Sunday in Los Angeles's LA Polo Lounge.
“At this stage in the treatment, patients are occasionally allowed to leave for short periods of time. Keith is not out of rehab and is not back home in Nashville. This is completely inaccurate. He is still undergoing treatment,” Freundlich said in a statement.
Urban, who married Kidman in June this year, entered rehab for alcohol abuse in October at the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs in California. Recently, Kidman at a film premiere became visibly upset when asked about her husband's progress. However, given their latest outing, the couple seemed to be doing fine.
Meanwhile, Kidman has once again thwarted rumors that she is expecting Urban's child. Though she stayed mum on the pregnancy rumors so far, the
Moulin Rouge actress decided to clear the air over the rumors when he mother called her up to find out if she was pregnant.
“My mum rang me up and said, 'Are you pregnant?' And I said, 'No, mum, you'd be the first to know'. One minute I'm being told I'm too thin, the next I'm told I'm fat and it must be because I'm expecting a baby. It's very confusing. But, no, I am not pregnant,” she said to an Australian newspaper.
