Adam Rippon has declared Keith Urban a good-smelling man, and now Keith is telling the full story.
The country star dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday (April 27) to dish on what fans don’t know about the night the Winter Olympics’ breakout star got a whiff of him at the TIME 100 Gala in New York City.
“So we met him, and Nic was talking, and she said, ‘Oh, my gosh, you smell great, Adam,’” Keith recalls of his wife’s conversation with Adam. “And she goes, ‘My husband smells good, too—smell him.’ So Adam leans in. He’s like, ‘He does smell good.’”
While the “Coming Home” singer adds the moment was “just odd,” the best part of the story came later in the evening.
“He was talking about his mom, who was such a beautiful big influence for him,” Keith says of the toast Adam gave at the gala. “And he said, ‘My mom always said to follow your heart and go for your dreams,’ and he says, ‘I met Nicole Kidman earlier, and she let me smell her husband, so dreams really do come true.’”
Adam later took to Twitter to further express Keith’s pleasant aroma.
Keith’s new album, Graffiti U, is available now.
Still unreal to be one of those named to @time ???? and give a toast honoring my mom for being the person who has inspired me the most. Also, during my toast, it was a great opportunity for me to let everyone know that @nicolekidman told me smell @keithurban and he smelled great. pic.twitter.com/wosIYf4Y2K
