Keith Urban

2005 – 2025

Nicole Kidman met her future husband Keith Urban in 2005 at the annual G’Day LA gala. The pair exchanged phone numbers, but Keith didn’t call for four months as he “wasn’t in a very healthy place” at the time.

“I’d never have thought she’d see anything in a guy like me,” he admitted to Interview in 2018.

“But at some point I plucked up the courage to call those numbers and she answered, and we started talking and we talked and talked and talked and talked and it was effortless.”

In June 2006, a year after they met, Nicole and Keith tied the knot at St. Patrick’s Estate in Manly.

Over the course of their relationship, the pair welcomed two daughters together: Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

But after 19 years of marriage, reports emerged that the Aussie golden couple had split, with Nicole signing divorce papers on 30 September 2025.
