Let’s take a trip down memory lane to January 2005, when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban first crossed paths at a glamorous gala in Los Angeles. Sparks must have flown because the following year, this dynamic duo tied the knot in a breathtaking ceremony in Australia. Picture this: the stunning actress from Being the Ricardos and the country music sensation surrounded by their closest family and A-list friends. It was love at first sight—or at least love at first meeting. Let’s dive into their story and see how they became one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples.
Before Keith came into Nicole’s life, she was married to none other than Tom Cruise. Their love story began on the set of the 1990 blockbuster Days of Thunder. Less than a year after meeting, the dazzling star of Moulin Rouge! and the iconic Top Gun: Maverick actor exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Colorado. This marked Tom’s second marriage, following his union with Bosch alum Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990.
During their marriage, Nicole and Tom adopted two beautiful children, Isabella and Connor. They shared not only parenthood but also the silver screen multiple times. However, every story has its twists, and in February 2001, Tom filed for divorce. By August of that year, their marriage was officially over. Life moves on, and so did Nicole, eventually finding love again with Keith Urban.

Fast forward to June 2006 when Nicole and Keith said "I do." After their wedding, they decided to expand their family. In January 2008, they announced the exciting news—they were expecting their first child. Their daughter Sunday graced the world with her presence in July 2008.
"We feel immensely blessed and grateful to be given this beautiful baby girl," the couple shared in a heartfelt statement. "She’s an absolute delight." And that wasn’t the end of their family journey. In December 2010, Nicole and Keith welcomed their second child, daughter Faith, via surrogate. Nicole has always been open about her dreams of having a big family with Keith.
In a candid interview with Vogue in July 2015, Nicole expressed her desires: "I wish I could have met him much earlier and had way more children with him. But I didn’t. I mean, if I could have had two more children with him, that would have been just glorious." Keith, ever the supportive partner, reminded Nicole that sometimes wanting more isn’t always the answer, saying, "The wanting mind, Nicole. Shut it down."
Fast forward to today, and the answer is a resounding yes! Nicole and Keith are still madly in love, celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary in June 2022. The star of Big Little Lies has never hidden her admiration for her husband, calling him the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
In a heartfelt interview on CBS Mornings in January 2022, Nicole opened up about their relationship: "I met him later in life and it’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. That man is the best thing that’s ever happened to me." Their love is undeniable, and they continue to show it off in public.
In March 2023, the couple made a splash on the Oscars red carpet, passionately kissing and holding hands for the cameras. A few months later, in November 2023, they attended the CMA Awards, looking as glamorous as ever. Keith even took the stage to present an award, proving that their love story is still going strong.

When Keith was announced as a performer for the CMT Music Awards in April 2024, fans were thrilled. However, many were surprised when Nicole wasn’t there to support him on the red carpet. Instead, Keith walked the event solo. While her exact whereabouts weren’t revealed at the time, it’s no secret that Nicole has been busy with new projects, including the recently released series Expats.
On the red carpet, Keith shared that he’s open to collaborating with Nicole on a song in the future. "We sing around the house a lot," he told E! News. "So, why not?" He also offered some wisdom for other couples, encouraging them to find what works for them. "You guys figure out whatever works for you," he said. "We’re figuring it out. You figure it out. Everybody’s different." Their relationship proves that love and understanding can overcome any obstacle.
