Hollywood and the world of country music came to a head when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban fell in love more in the early 2000s – and the romance has not stopped since.
Kidman and Urban first met at an event in 2005 and quickly married the following summer. Since then they have welcomed two girls – Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret – and will never stop joking about each other in interviews. For the rocker, who had substance abuse problems, meeting Kidman was the opportunity for a beautiful new life.
“Meeting her and getting married was not life changing, it was the beginning of a life,” Urban said in a 2016 interview CBS Sunday Morning. “It was literally like, ‘Okay, now life begins.’ “
Kidman and Urban met at the G’Day USA gala
While Kidman and Urban are both from the land below, an event happened in Los Angeles to meet them. The duo were introduced for the first time at the G’Day USA gala in January 2005, although their great romance did not begin immediately. Instead, it took Urban months to finally call Kidman.
“I’ve never been in a very healthy place in my life,” Urban said in 2018 on the Australian talk show Interview. “I never thought she would see anything in a boy like me. But at some point I built up the courage to call those numbers and she responded, and we started talking and we talked and we talked and we talked and he talked without effort. “
Urban then put her under her feet (literally) on her birthday that year when he surprised her with a trip to Woodstock, New York on the motorcycle.
“It was mine [38th] birthday, and stood outside with gardenias at 5am on my stoop in New York, ”Kidman said People. “That’s when I went, ‘This is the man I hope to marry. ‘”
“It was very intense,” Kidman said. “I believed in that point that it was the love of my life. Maybe that’s because I’m very romantic, or I’m an actor, or I have a strong faith too, but I just believed, ‘Oh, okay, here it is. ‘”

The couple had major problems early in their marriage
They did not wait long to walk down the corridor. In June 2006, the two tied the knot at a ceremony attended by Australian celebrities such as Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts and Hugh Jackman.
But just months later, Urban investigated a relocation due to substance misuse issues after it rebroadcast. The singer had previously lived twice before staying in October 2006 and had been open about problems with addiction and drugs like cocaine. After Kidman arranged an intervention after their wedding, the singer has been able to stay solemn ever since.
“I caused the explosion of my new marriage,” Urban said in a Rolling Stone interview in 2016. “It lasted, but it was a miracle. I was spiritually awake with her. I use the phrase ‘I was born into her,’ and that’s how I feel. And for the first time in my life, I was able to shake off the shackles of slavery. ”
In 2008, Urban and Kidman welcomed their first daughter, Sunday Rose. The young girl was Urban’s first and Kidman’s third after her two children with ex-husband Tom Cruise. The couple then welcomed their second daughter, Faith Margaret, through a surrogate in 2010.
Reflecting on her fertility problems in a 2015 interview, Kidman admitted that she would have loved to have had more children with the singer.
“I wish I had met [Keith] much earlier and he had more children with him, but he did not, “said the actress Vogue. “I mean, if I could have two other kids with him, that would have been glorious.”

They are still there for each other during construction and decay
Kidman and Urban remain one of Hollywood’s ugliest couples as they raise their daughters between their homes in Australia and Nashville. All in all, their mutual support is maintained. In 2019, Kidman expressed how lucky she is to have Urban in her life.
“I have the most amazing companion in my life. I always say that about him,” she said Entertainment tonight. “I am one of the very lucky women in the world to have an amazing father, and I have an amazing husband, and I am just very happy – I really like to be able to say that because to talk about the good men that has influenced and influenced me. “
As for the country mansion, he had a very simple way of describing the love of his life that same year.
“I could raise Nic as a wife, mother and son in three words: She is all heart! ”He told him People.
