After the announcement of Nicole Kidman’s divorce from Keith Urban on September 30, an old video of Jimmy Fallon resurfaced, showing the host realizing he had missed a chance for a date with the actress.
The incident occurred in 2005, when Kidman was still single. A friend of the “Babygirl” star said that Fallon wanted to meet her.

“You were there, wearing a baseball cap… and you said nothing, absolutely nothing, just like, ‘hi,’” Kidman recalled, while the host looked embarrassed. “And then you put on a video game or something, and I thought, ‘this is so bad.’”
Fallon later shared his own memory of the meeting with Kidman in an interview with *20 Questions: On Deadline*.

He explained that she had gone to his apartment after a conversation with a mutual friend, at a time when she was choosing the romantic lead for the film “Bewitched.”
“I thought [she had come] because of that film she was making, which she ended up doing with Will Ferrell […] I thought it was a chemistry test,” Fallon said.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban married in June 2006 and had two daughters. After filing for divorce, the actress requested in court documents to become the primary custodian of the couple’s daughters.
