A photo of Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon at a local sporting event in the United States on Saturday night has caused controversy, with fans wondering why the pair weren’t watching women’s sports instead.
This comes after the Matildas finished fourth in the FIFA Women’s World Cup, igniting a movement in women’s sport like never before.
But upon further investigation, the couple’s reason for attending this men’s event in Nashville is because of their friendship with David and Victoria Beckham, and their support of Nashville, where they are with each other living with their families.

David Beckham is the co-owner of Inter Miami who faced Nashville SC in the Men’s League Cup in the United States. He recently signed the great football player Lionel Messi to the team, with Messi playing an important role in the team’s success.
Both Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon are Nashville residents, with Witherspoon making her feelings about the game clear.
