Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban put on a frosty display during their final outing before news of their split emerged.
But the sighting was worlds away from their intense public displays of affection they had showcased at red carpet events and premieres over the years.
Back in 2017, the Australian actress, 58, and musician, 57, couldn’t keep their hands off each other in an awkward exchange at the Oscars.
After arriving at the event, Keith was seen patting Nicole’s bottom as they sauntered down the ruby rug.
The former couple also shared a very passionate kiss in front of the cameras, locking lips like no one was watching.
Speaking to Mail Online’s red carpet correspondent Baz Bamigboye on the night, Nicole referred to herself as a gentle ‘kitten’.

‘Lioness? No. I’m a kitten,’ the actress laughed.
Keith quipped: ‘Kitten? I don’t know about that.’
Months later, Nicole and Keith were at it again as they shared another intimate exchange at the Cannes Film Festival.
The longtime lovebirds were seen holding hands and Nicole appeared to wipe away tears at one point.
At the time, Woman’s Day reported that the moment saw Keith ‘asking for Nicole’s hand for the second time’.
‘In a beautiful show of commitment, Keith took his wife’s hand and told her how much he wants to reaffirm his devotion to her,’ the publication described.
According to the publication, Nicole was ‘overwhelmed’ with emotion due to having ‘feared for their marriage’.
In 2020, Nicole and Keith’s cringe-worthy encounter at the Golden Globes made headlines as they posed for photos together on the red carpet.

Wrapping an arm around Keith’s neck, Nicole pulled the country musician close in a playful embrace.
The couple held hands, before Keith stepped back to let his wife enjoy her moment in the limelight.
She later returned the gesture by motioning dramatically towards Keith, who had stepped over to the side.
The actress and musician also weren’t afraid to pack on the PDA in 2022 as they arrived to the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.
They ensured all eyes were on them as they lovingly gazed at each other while posing for photos.

In 2023, Nicole and Keith were back at it once again as they shared a passionate kiss while their assistants awkwardly watched on from the sidelines at the Academy Awards.
Nicole stroked the country music star’s cheek as he wrapped his tattooed hands around her waist, pulling the Oscar-winning actress in closer.

When they had finally finished canoodling, the Hollywood lovebirds turned to face the photographers, giving fans a look at their glamorous outfits.
In May this year, Nicole and Keith cuddled during their final red carpet appearance at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
This outing was the last time the couple was seen together before news of their split became public.
Nicole and Keith’s separation was confirmed by Daily Mail on Monday, with the couple ending their 19-year marriage and life together with two children.
Nicole filed for divorce on Tuesday – citing irreconcilable differences.
A source claimed to the Daily Mail that there is speculation that Keith has already moved on with a younger woman in the music industry.
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban for comment and has yet to hear back.
The former couple share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Nicole was previously married to Tom Cruise, 63, for 11 years from 1990 to 2001. They adopted two children together: Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30.
At this time, Keith — who is renting a home in Music City — is reportedly showing no interest in reconciling.
Those close to Nicole say that even the suggestion that he may be seeing someone else has been difficult for her to process.
The country star has been away for much of the year on his High and Alive World Tour.
Nicole and the children, meanwhile, have remained in Nashville, where the couple owns a $4million compound.
In July, Keith dropped a hint that all was not well between the pair when he dramatically hung up during a phone interview with a radio station after a crude question about Nicole’s raunchy recent scenes, such as in her movies Babygirl and A Family Affair.
For her part, and while promoting her Netflix series The Perfect Couple in September last year, Nicole admitted there was no such thing as a ‘perfect’ marriage.
‘There’s no perfect anything,’ she said.
‘Anything that’s presented as perfect… forget it.’
