The moment you missed: Keith Urban makes Nicole Kidman blush at the ARIAs

Plus the most jaw dropping moments from music's night of nights! - by Chloe Lal
  • 29 Nov 2018

Last night  your favourite big names wowed on the red carpet as they headed to the ARIA Awards at The Star Event Centre in Sydney.

Fans braved the crying heavens to get a glimpse of Nicole Kidman's husband Keith Urban, who hosted the event.

Watch Nicole talk about her other Aussie dream man, Boy Erased co-star Troye Sivan.

The moment you missed: Keith Urban makes Nicole Kidman blush at the ARIAs

And the iconic Aussie couple delivered on maximum amounts of PDA.

The 51-year-old country superstar made sure his wife felt the love as he kicked off the show.

"Hi everyone, hi Australia," Urban said before focusing on Kidman.

"Hi baby, right in the front row -- hi!"

ARIA on Twitter

When introducing Troye Sivan as a presenter, Urban took a moment to throw the spotlight on his leading lady.

"He's alongside a very talented, up-and coming new actress called Nicole Kidman."

Shaking her head, the country singer continued, "I think good things are ahead for her." 

Channel 9 on Twitter

While the Big Little Lies actress didn't share anything about her hubby on Instagram - it was clear that it was big night in the Kidman household. 

Joining the couple, Kidman brought her sister Antonia Kidman's daughter 20-year-old Lucia Hawley as their plus one.

"Going to the #ARIAs with my niece, we're so excited to see Keith hosting!" Kidman gushed on Instagram.
