It’s no little lie that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are one smitten couple.

Whether captivating us on red carpets or enjoying a quiet moment dining on some KFC (yes it’s true!) – the Kidman/Urban duo are figure of happiness.

And now the Big Little Lies actress has ‘fessed up the truly magical moments she knew the country crooner was the love of her life.

They’d known each other less than six months when she knew.

After meeting at an event in L.A. in early 2005, they’d grown closer in the ensuing months.

And then the country music star made a bold move.

“It was my [38th] birthday, and he stood outside with gardenias at 5 a.m. on my stoop in New York,” Kidman, 51, told PEOPLE.

“That is when I went, ‘This is the man I hope I get to marry.’”

Urban, 51, took her to Woodstock, N.Y., the site of the 1969 music festival, on a motorbike for a getaway (“My kind of guy!” she says), and she’s never looked back.

“It was pretty intense,” says Kidman, whose gritty drama Destroyer will be released wide this month.

“I believed by that point he was the love of my life. Maybe that’s because I am deeply romantic, or I’m an actress, or I have strong faith as well, but I just believed, ‘Oh, okay, here he is.’”

The two married a year later at a romantic wedding in Manly, Australia, and have since settled down in Nashville, where they’re happily raising their two daughters, Sunday, 10, and Faith, 8.
