Personal Life:
- Home Security Incident: On Valentine’s Day, intruders broke into the Beverly Hills mansion of Urban and his wife, Nicole Kidman. The couple was not home during the incident; a staff member’s arrival reportedly scared off the burglar. The intruder allegedly gained entry by smashing a window. It’s unclear if anything was stolen, and police are investigating. This burglary follows a series of high-profile break-ins in the area, believed to be linked to a South American crime ring.
