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

Kidman and Urban first crossed paths at the G’Day USA Gala — an event honoring Australians in Los Angeles — in 2005. Kidman was immediately smitten with the country singer, but Urban took a little longer to come around.

“I remember thinking I had such a crush on him, and he wasn’t interested in me,” Kidman told Ellen DeGeneres in 2017. “It’s true! He didn’t call me for four months.”

Urban recalled being in an “unhealthy place” when he first encountered the Big Little Lies actress, which made him wait to call her. In time, Urban made his move, and the pair eventually tied the knot in June 2006.

They have since welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, and become each other’s biggest supporters. (Kidman is also the mother of Isabella and Conner, whom she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)

In September 2025, Us Weekly confirmed that the couple had separated after nearly two decades of marriage.
