Embark on a journey through Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s enchanting love story, from a chance meeting to a life shared.
In the glitz and glamour of the G’Day USA gala in Los Angeles, 2005, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s paths crossed for the first time. The air was thick with instant attraction, yet their love story had a peculiar start. Despite the immediate connection, Urban’s response to Kidman was notably delayed, adding a twist to their Hollywood romance. This initial encounter laid the foundation for a relationship that would captivate fans worldwide.
Realization and Engagement in 2005-2006
As Nicole celebrated her 38th birthday in New York City, a romantic gesture by Keith with gardenias marked the moment she realized he was “the one.” This realization soon led to their engagement, announced at the United Nations Development Fund for Women gala in 2006. The engagement was a significant step, symbolizing their commitment and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives together.
Fairy Tale Wedding in 2006

Each guest received a silver Tiffany desk clock engraved with “A Moment in Time, June 25, 2006, Nicole & Keith,” encapsulating the magic of their special day.
Challenges and Support in 2006-2007
The early years of their marriage were not without challenges. In 2006, Kidman staged an intervention for Urban, who was struggling with alcohol abuse. His journey to recovery, including a stint in rehab, was supported by Kidman’s unwavering love. Despite these hurdles, Urban’s career flourished, marked by his win at the Country Music Association Awards.
Growing Family and Career Successes
By 2008, the couple welcomed their first child, Sunday Rose, in Nashville, adding joy to their lives. In 2010, they were blessed with a second daughter, Faith Margaret. Professionally, both Kidman and Urban soared, with Nicole receiving acclaim for her role in Big Little Lies and Keith releasing hits like The Fighter, inspired by their relationship.
Public Declarations and Artistic Collaborations
Over the years, the couple has not shied away from public declarations of love. Kidman once named Urban as her “Sexiest Man Alive,” and Keith’s song Gemini playfully references Nicole’s passionate side. Their artistic collaboration was evident when they sang together for the International Day of the Girl, showcasing their shared love for music and family.
Continued Commitment and Philanthropy
Nicole and Keith’s commitment extends beyond their family to philanthropic efforts, notably their significant donation to Australian fire relief in 2020. Their presence at events like the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, where Kidman was nominated for her role in Being the Ricardos, highlights their continuous support for each other’s careers.
