Over the weekend, the Big Little Lies actress was spotted stepping out with husband Keith Urban ahead of his VIP drive-in convert for over 200 frontline healthcare workers battling COVID-19 at the Tennesseeโ€™s Stardust Drive-in Theatre.

In a video uploaded to Instagram from the event, fans were quick to notice the mother-of-four wearing a medical boot on her right ankle.

โ€œWishing a speedy recovery for Nicole,โ€ one concerned user wrote.

โ€œOh no Nicole, whatโ€™s happened to your foot,โ€ another added.

Chatting to The Project on Tuesday night, Keith shared that his wife had been โ€œrunning around the neighbourhood, as she does, and didnโ€™t see a pot-hole.โ€

โ€œShe rolled her ankle and got a small break so sheโ€™s been relegated to the boot for the past weeks but her spirit has been amazing,โ€ he said.

Nicole will hopefully be back on two feet soon.

โ€œA huge THANK YOU to all @vanderbilthealth frontline workers who attended tonightโ€™s special show at the drive in!โ€ Keith added.

Since being holed up in Nashville during lockdown, Nicole and Keith have delighted fans with several Instagram Live concerts streamed on Keithโ€™s social media channels.

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald last week, the 52-year-old actress admitted she was heartbroken at not knowing when sheโ€™d see her mother Janelle, who lives in Australia, again.

โ€œWeโ€™re in a position where we just have to relinquish control right now and go day by day,โ€ she said.

But as much as sheโ€™s trying to stay positive, that hasnโ€™t detracted from the hard reality of being away from her wider family.

โ€œI have my immediate family here, but I donโ€™t have my extended family, who are so much a part of me. I canโ€™t touch them,โ€ she said.

โ€œSo many people are in exactly the same position. So many people right now are going, โ€˜When do I see my family again?'โ€
