Nicole and Keith first started dating in 2005.

And Nicole realised she wanted to marry Keith early on in the relationship; on her birthday in 2005, he surprised her by arriving on her doorstep in New York at 5am, holding gardenias.

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

The actress got her wish and the two tied the knot on June 25, 2006 in Sydney.

Nicole and Keith went on to purchase multiple homes in Australia and the US together, but spent the bulk of their married life together in Nashville, Tennessee.

How did Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban meet?

However, Keith didn’t call Nicole for another four months after their initial meeting.

“I had such a crush on him and he wasn’t interested in me,” Nicole told Ellen DeGeneres in 2017. “He didn’t call me for four months.”

However, Keith was certainly taking notes on their first meeting, describing to Oprah the moment he first saw his future wife.

“I swear to you, she glided across the room, floated. I don’t know how she did it,” he recalled. “It was out of this world and there was a split moment where she wasn’t with anybody, and I thought, ‘I’ll just go up and say hi.’”

Do Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have kids?

Nicole and Keith have two children, as well as Nicole’s two children from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.

Together, Nicole and Keith welcomed two daughters of their own. Sunday Rose was born on July 7, 2008, and Faith Margaret on December 28, 2010. While Sunday is prospecting a career as a model, Faith is said to be pursuing a musical path like her dad.

Nicole has spoken about fertility struggles in the past, telling Marie Claire Australia in 2021, “I wish I’d had more children, but I wasn’t given that choice.”

“I would’ve loved 10 kids,” she continued. “But that’s OK because I get to mother other children. I have six nieces and nephew and I’m godmother to 12. I love mothering, I love kids: they’re quirky, funny and unfiltered. And then you get to see them grow and send them on their way.”
