Nicole Kidmanand Keith Urban’s relationship is one that country love songs are made of.
The star couple hasbeen married for 15 years, which is a long time according to Hollywood standards.
Before Kidman married Urban, she wasmarried to Tom Cruisefrom 1990 to 2001.
On Urban’s end, he had been previously involved with modelNiki Taylor andengaged to Laura Sigler.
“That was how I was able to keep it together,” he toldRolling Stonein 2014.
For this reason, let’s take a closer look insideNicole Kidman’s relationship with Keith Urban.
According to Kidman’s version of their meet cute, she fell immediately for the Australian country singer.
She later revealed it took Urban four months from their first meeting for him to finally call her.
“I was really, really into him,” she toldHarper’s Bazaar.
“He took a little time.
And he’s like, ‘That is so incorrect, Nicole.'”
“I kept looking at it thinking, ‘If I call this number, she’s going to answer.
I don’t know what [to] say’.'”
However, the lack of confidence was mutual.
“That is when I went, ‘This is the man I hope I get to marry.'”
On the groom’s side, Urban’s brother, Shane, was his best man.
In fact, they married after only one month of officially dating.
“I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other,” she said.
Kidman’s loneliness before her marriage might explain her frame of mind at the time, too.
“It hit home that I needed to get a life.
Who do I jump on the bed with, and celebrate with, and order pancakes with?
That was painful, not having that person to share it with.”
Urban admitted toRolling Stonein 2016 that his addictions “caused the implosion of my fresh marriage.
It survived, but it’s a miracle it did.”
“I was spiritually awoken with her,” Urban told Rolling Stone.
“I use the expression ‘I was born into her,’ and that’s how I feel.
And for the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction.”

“And I got lucky.
I got to have a child when I was 41.”
The couple’s first child, Sunday Rose, was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2008.
Then, two years later, Kidman and Urban welcomed their second daughter, Faith Margaret, via surrogate.
“We were in a place of desperately wanting another child” she said.
“I couldn’t get pregnant.”
While the couple is notoriously private about their daughters, they have shared their love of parenting.
Urban shared how his favorite part about being a dad is having someone call him ‘dad.’
“I’m like, ‘Omigosh!
I’m her dad!
That’s amazing.’
Kidman agreed, telling InStyle how close they are as a family.
“We put the time in, and there’s no taking that for granted.”
“We never leave the kids, one of us is always there,” she said.
Kidman shared that the couple completely switches off from work and connect when they have downtime together.
Being with Urban is important to Kidman.
As she shared with InStyle, rather than having girls’ weekends, she wants to be home.
“I want to be with my children and my husband [Keith Urban],” she said.
Ultimately, as Urbanhas said: “We just work at it.
We love each other and we work at it.
It’s beautiful work.”
It’s also being each other’s rock during the ups and downs of life.
Since his 2006 intervention, Kidman has been Urban’s support in his sobriety.
What do we need to do to support you?'”
The star couple definitely knows how to keep the spark alive.
The couple also doesn’t hold back on their insane chemistry together.
Kidman shared avery sexy picof the pair in honor of their 15th wedding anniversary.
Then, of course, there’s Urban’s song “Gemini” that’sbeen confirmedto be about Kidman.
“It just keeps you connected.”
