Nicole Kidman, the acclaimed actress who has collected an Academy Award, multiple Golden Globes, and Emmys throughout her career, recently delighted fans with a playful post about her husband, Keith Urban.
Kidman, who rose to fame through standout roles in films such as Moulin Rouge!, The Hours and Eyes Wide Shut has also earned recognition for her work on television, most notably for Big Little Lies. Beyond her career achievements, she has built a lasting partnership with Urban, the Australian-born country singer she married in 2006.
Urban’s journey to stardom began long before their paths crossed. After moving to the United States in the early ’90s, he found his footing in country music and eventually topped the charts with his self-titled album. Despite his success, he once admitted he didn’t believe he had a chance with Kidman. Carrying her phone number in his pocket for days, he hesitated to call, convinced she was out of his league. When he finally found the courage, the two connected instantly.
Their romance deepened quickly. Urban has spoken openly about his struggles with addiction and how Kidman’s support helped him turn his life around. He described her role in his recovery as “divine intervention,” saying her love and determination guided him through one of the most difficult periods of his life. For Kidman, it was his sincerity and devotion that made her realize he was the man she wanted to spend her life with. She still recalls the moment he stood outside her home at dawn with a bouquet of gardenias for her birthday — a gesture that sealed her certainty.

Although they generally keep their relationship private, the couple occasionally share small glimpses into their life. In 2021, Kidman posted a throwback photo of a young Urban playing guitar with his long blond hair flowing. To her amusement, many fans thought the picture was actually of Kidman herself, leaving comments like, “Wait, isn’t that you?”
