nicole kidman and keith urban have been
married for about 16 years which in the
world of hollywood is roughly the
equivalent to 50 years
happy wife happy life jimmy
yeah but things weren't romantic country
songs and roses in the beginning the
couple has faced their fair share of
challenges and if it wasn't for nicole
keith would have lost everything
stay tuned juicers because in today's
video we're gonna take a deep dive into
nicole and keith's marriage yes
absolutely i got a lot of good stuff
fine but i can't mention no no no from
their sweet first meeting to the
struggles they face together we've got
all the details on how they've kept
their love alive after all these years
it was roughly about four years after
nicole's very messy and public divorce
from none other than tom cruise that she
met keith it was 2005 and that year
everything changed
it's been the most the best thing that's
ever happened to me
that man is the best thing that's ever
happened to me nicole was immediately
smitten by the country singer and keith
was totally taken by the actress's grace
and boys
ironically enough neither of them
thought that the other person was
interested kitman shared i remember
thinking i had such a crush on him and
he wasn't interested in me
little did she know urban was swooning
over her from the second she walked into
the room
i swear to you she glided across the
room floated
i don't know how she did it 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
seriously does it get any more romantic
than that
once they started talking things really
clicked
they exchanged numbers but keith was so
convinced that nicole wasn't interested
in him that he didn't call her for four
months i was like there's no way this
girl is interested in me at all so
someone would give me her number i
couldn't bring myself to call that
number thankfully keith plucked up the
courage and finally made the call their
romance was instant and it was just a
month later that nicole knew that he was
the love of her life
she described their love as intense and
that she fell hard and fast for the
singer when goodman's 38th birthday came
rolling around the following year urban
surprised her by standing on her stoop
in new york at 5 00 am holding a bunch
of gardenias
it was this moment that the actress
thought this is the man i hope i get to
marry even though they hadn't been
dating each other for very long it
wasn't something that bothered her at
all
in fact the actress shared i kind of
like getting married and then getting to
know each other i know that it sounds
incredibly strange but to me it's a more
natural process
the couple went on a motorcycle ride her
arms wrapped around his waist as they
rode through woodstock in new york and
ended the day with a romantic picnic
their love practically sealed itself in
fate at this moment
i was a goner i mean come on nicole
confessed and we don't blame her the two
made things official when they tied the
knot during a romantic wedding ceremony
in australia it was an a-list
celebration with guests like russell
crowe baslerman naomi watts and hugh
jackman need we say more
meeting her and getting married wasn't
life changing it was life beginning it
was literally like okay life starts
keith shared about their wedding
sadly their newlywed bliss was
short-lived just a few months after
their wedding nicole had to stage an
intervention for keith the singer had
previously openly talked about his
struggle with drugs and alcohol during
the 90s
he'd also completed two separate stays
at rehabs before nicole wasn't unaware
of his battle with addiction so as soon
as keith relapsed she urged him to go in
for treatment keith went on to spend
three months at an inpatient facility to
treat his alcohol addiction i was going
to lose it all it was like if i don't
choose this moment to do the right thing
and do something that's going to give me
life all of the things i'm scared of
losing i'm going to lose anyway the
singer confessed
the singer went on to share that he had
caused an implosion in his marriage and
that it was a miracle that it had
survived and when it comes to overcoming
his addiction he attributed the success
and his sobriety to nicole
she was by his side supporting him
through it all for the first time in his
life he felt like he could shake off the
shackles of his addiction
keith explained she's the one that i was
searching for my whole life and
everything not only changed but had to
change in me if i was gonna go that road
the singer also shared that he and
nicole could not have met each other at
a better time he needed her help to
finally conquer his addiction and she
said right from the beginning that she
wanted to be brave with him
he felt like there was something else at
work bringing them together watching
over them and giving them both the
strength to get through it all
when it comes to sharing their struggles
and what they had to go through at the
beginning of their marriage nicole
didn't want to hide any of it she knew
the press was going to get a hold in the
news anyway so she'd rather have it all
out in the open and share the story
herself
let's do it and keith urban
when my cheek is against yours
everything melts away and that is love
i think we were two lonely people i
would probably say that two very lonely
people managed to meet at a time when
they could open themselves to each other
we were a mixture of frightened and
brave
the actress confessed
kidman admitted that it was a deeply
painful place that prompted urban into
recovery but since i've learned an
enormous amount having a relationship
with someone who's in a recovery i'm
more than willing to walk it with him
the two of us are very committed to our
relationship
the couple welcomed their first child
into the world in 2008 a girl they named
sunday rose kidman urban it was their
first child together although nicole
previously adopted two children isabella
jane cruz and connor cruz with
ex-husband tom
and then three years later nicole and
keith revealed they welcomed their
second daughter faith margaret kidman
urban saying our family is truly blessed
and just so thankful to have been given
the gift of baby faith margaret
the baby was born via surrogate and
nicole later told vogue that she had
previously struggled with infertility
and wish she could have more children
with keith
she said
i wish i could have met keith much
earlier and had way more children with
him but i didn't i mean if i could have
had two more children with him that
would have been just glorious
things had definitely taken a different
turn in their marriage since keith had
overcome his addiction the singer would
play his guitar while his daughters
would dance and sing along and nicole
would watch her heart bursting with joy
and love for her family the great thing
about being married to a musician you
have music in the house all the time
there's something very joyful about
having music keith can play pretty much
any instrument you'll just play piano at
seven in the morning that's what we have
is breakfast around the piano and very
much a part of our life
in 2014 nicole's father passed away and
nicole confessed that keith was there to
help her get through the laws while he
had always been a supporting husband
during her time of grief the actress
shared that keith had very literally
carried her through incredibly tough
times
when you have your partner who just
literally
carries you through a tough time
oh and he's been amazing to me to have
my husband to step up in that way it
makes me cry he's amazing i will keep
him i'll do anything for that man
the most important question of all how
do they keep their love alive making
fans swoon over their adoring photos and
wish they had their very own country
meets hollywood romance
well despite their crazy work schedules
they've never spent more than seven days
apart from one another it sounds
impossible considering the months other
couples have had to spend a part being
in the entertainment industry but too
much time apart for nicole and keith is
an absolute no-go zone the actress
explained that they stay very
very connected skyping and talking on
the phone several times a day she even
confessed that urban would leave her a
love letter for every night he was away
if this gesture doesn't make you raise
your standards of love and romance we
don't know what will
my husband and i never text each other
we never do
once in a blue moon we'll text but
mainly we say i want to hear your voice
we don't email each other either so it's
about trying to keep it as intimate and
personal as possible
so that's why when they do text it's
that kind of text
yeah you know the steamy kind phone
calls only which i really love
maybe one text maybe one cool kind of
you know
that kind of text nice sex texting he
offered i'm a little red right now keith
shared practically read in the face
nicole revealed that their secret to a
happy marriage is to always make time
for one another she said that when she's
not working she dedicates herself to her
family adding
keith and i are very good at immediately
clicking off because we have a really
good life in nashville that's very
simple quiet and nourishing because
we've made it like that
nicole and keith are basically the
ultimate hollywood couple beating all
the odds they've supported each other
through all the dark times of addiction
infertility and loss
they've been through it all but they
were never alone through any of it keith
supported nicole just as much as she
supported him because they love each
other if there's one thing we can learn
from these two it's that sometimes
love can truly conquer all
