Nicole Kidman Denies Claims She & Keith Urban Are Ignoring Australia's Strict Quarantine Rules

Nicole Kidman is addressing claims that she and husband Keith Urban are ignoring Australia’s strict quarantine rules.

The 53-year-old actress and the 52-year-old rocker arrived in Australia earlier this week and were granted permission to self-isolate at their estate in Southern Highlands instead of going through the two-week mandatory quarantine in a government-mandated hotel.

“It’s absolute garbage. She is paying for all her own security and following all the rules, they are in isolation,” Nicole‘s publicist Wendy Day shared with The Sydney Morning Herald‘s Private Sydney.

New South Wales Premiere Gladys Berejiklian has stated that there will be “no exceptions” to the hotel quarantine, so locals have been upset that Nicole and Keith were granted an exemption. According to The Times, New South Wales health authorities wouldn’t comment on why the couple and their daughters were allowed to quarantine at their home.

Nicole is in Australia to film her upcoming Hulu miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers, which begins production on August 10.
