Actress Nicole Kidman insists her husband, Keith Urban, doesn't get jealous of her love scenes in films because he feels loved and protected.

The actress says her husband of eight years had no problem with her appearing naked in "Before I Go to Sleep" or shooting racy sex scenes with her co-star Colin Firth.

"(It was) a very quick, quick scene,` contactmusic.com quoted Kidman as saying.

"I suppose I don't find those scenes awkward because once you're in character, you're in character. There is a way in which you work it out and if you're both actors then you know what you're doing. I mean, Keith's obviously easy with everything because he feels incredibly loved and protected. And I think once all of that is fine, then it's what we do,` she added.

The Australian actress has daughters, Sunday, six, and Faith, three, with the country singer.
