Recalling the moment when Kidman brought up their alleged dating history, Fallon described it as embarrassing and out of context.

Fallon shared the backstory, recounting how his friend arranged a meeting with Kidman, who expressed her past admiration for him. However, Fallon seemed oblivious to Kidman’s interest and attributed the encounter to a potential movie collaboration.
Kidman elaborated on her visit to Fallon’s apartment, revealing his lack of engagement during their interaction. Despite her efforts to initiate conversation, Kidman felt ignored by Fallon, leading her to assume he had no interest.
In response, Fallon defended himself, claiming he misunderstood the nature of their meeting and thought it was related to a movie project. However, Kidman’s recounting of feeling ignored left Fallon perplexed, and he later joked about the incident with Kidman’s husband, Keith Urban, at the Met Gala.
While Fallon and Kidman never pursued a romantic relationship, both have found happiness with their respective spouses.
