So in love! Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s relationship timeline

Uncategorized

Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban are both natives of the land down under, but the pair met and fell in love on the other side of the world.

The Big little lies star and Urban first crossed paths at the G’Day USA Gala – an event celebrating Australians in Los Angeles – in 2005. Kidman was instantly smitten with the country singer, but Urban took a little longer to come around.

“I remember thinking, I was so in love with him and he wasn’t interested in me,” Kidman said Ellen DeGeneres in 2017. “It’s true! He didn’t call me for four months.”

However, the ‘God Whispered Your Name’ singer didn’t immediately reach out to the actress because he wasn’t in the right mindset for a relationship at the time.

“Someone had given me her number and I had it in my pocket for a while. I kept looking at it and thought, ‘If I call this number, she’ll pick up. I do not know what [to] say,” Urban recalled on the Australian talk show Interview in 2018. “I wasn’t in a very healthy place in my life.”

He added, “I never thought she would see anything in a man like me. But at some point I mustered up the courage to call those numbers and she answered, and we started talking and we talked and talked and talked and talked and it was effortless.

The couple later married in June 2006 in a romantic ceremony in Manly, Australia. Kidman and Urban’s marital bliss was short-lived when the “Wasted Time” crooner went into rehab in October 2006 after the Bomb star performed an intervention.

“I caused the implosion of my new marriage,” said Urban Rolling stone in 2016. “It survived, but it is a miracle that it succeeded. I woke up spiritually with her. I use the phrase “I was born in her,” and that’s how I feel. And for the first time in my life I was able to shake off the shackles of addiction.”

Kidman gave birth to their first child, daughter Sunday Rose, in July 2008. Urban and the Moulin Rouge star welcomed their second daughter, Faith Margaret, via surrogate in December 2011. The Oscar winner is also the mother of daughter Isabella and son Conner, whom she adopted with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

The Lion star told Harper’s Bazaar in 2018 that her marriage was successful because the couple always make time for each other.

“Of course I work hard, but when I’m free, I’m free,” she explained. “Keith and I are really good at clicking right away because we have a really good life in Nashville that’s very simple, low-key, and nourishing because we made it that way.”
