Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles mansion was reportedly broken into on Valentine’s Day, according to police sources. The burglars allegedly entered the home by smashing a glass door or window, ransacked the premises, and fled. Fortunately, the couple, both 57, were not present during the break-in. A staff member in the house at the time startled the intruders, prompting them to escape.
As of now, it remains unclear if any suspects have been apprehended in connection with the incident. ABC News sources suggest that the burglary was likely not targeted at the couple due to their celebrity status, but rather because of the property’s size and location.
The couple was in Las Vegas for Keith Urban’s performance at the Fontainebleau during the break-in. Urban shared pictures from his show and a sweet Instagram post of him and Kidman enjoying their Valentine’s Day in Vegas.
This incident follows a series of celebrity home burglaries, with recent cases involving athletes like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Authorities have charged seven Chilean men in connection with these crimes, linking them to a South American theft group responsible for stealing millions in valuables while the victims were away.
