After Rumors Their Marriage Is On The Rocks, Keith Urban And Nicole Kidman Have Made A Huge Decision

For over ten years, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have been one of the golden couples of Hollywood. She’s the award winning beauty and he is a country superstar, yet despite being together for over a decade dark rumors still persist about the state of their high profile marriage.

Annoyed Urban

In 2017 Kidman caused controversy when she kissed her co-star Alexander Skarsgård at an awards show in plain view of her husband. Urban apparently was annoyed by the strange incident. The couple have now made a momentous decision, one that may finally put the rumors to rest…

Love At First

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban first met in 2005 at the G’Day USA gala. It was said to be love at first sight – for Kidman at least. She told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview; ‘You didn’t love me at first sight, you didn’t notice me,’ and he’s like, ‘Yes I did, but I just didn’t let on.’ But we kind of met and then about four months later he called me.”
It proved to be love at first sight – for Kidman at least.

Whirlwind

The conversation went well and the two quickly began dating and were soon inseparable. After a whirlwind courtship, the two were engaged in the spring of 2006. After only a short time together, the pair were soon preparing for their big day.

Speedy Engagement

Speaking to Elle in 2014, Kidman reminisced about their speedy romance. She said, “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.”

Celebrity Affair

On June 25, 2006, the couple exchanged their heartfelt vows and were officially married. The ceremony took place in Kidman’s adopted homeland of Sydney, Australia, and featured many a guest list filled with some of Hollywood’s most famous faces. Among them were the likes of Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe.

Personal Issues

Shortly after the happy day things took a turn for the worst. Urban began to struggle with some dark personal demons. In October 2006 he checked himself into the Betty Ford Center to tackle his alcohol abuse problems. This wasn’t the first stint in rehab for the country star. In 1998 he spent time in a facility to deal with his issues surrounding cocaine use.

Breaking Point

Kidman wanted to offer her new husband her full support so she flew back from a promotional tour to be by Urban’s side. Despite his wife’s devotion, Urban’s demons were not easy to overcome. He told People magazine in 2007, “I was going to lose it all.”

Go The Other Way

He continued, “You can choose life or you can go the other way… It’s not a matter of all the intricate stuff in between. It’s just life or no life.” He also spoke about how difficult it was for his spouse, saying, “It was very, very hard to have to have her go through that.” Urban checked out of the rehab facility after ninety days of treatment.

Road To Recovery

With a new outlook on life, Urban decided to concentrate on family matters with Kidman. Two years later, the couple welcomed their first child, a little girl named Sunday Rose Kidman Urban.

Hoping For A Miracle

Then in 2010, they made another addition to their family via a surrogate: Faith Margaret Kidman Urban. And perhaps Kidman’s not done just yet when it comes to children. The star told Ellen in 2014, “My grandmother had her last at 49. Every month, I’m like, ‘I hope I’m pregnant!’”

Ups And Downs A Plenty

After the many ups and down rumors still abound about the state of their marriage. The gossip started up again in 2017 after Kidman gave her Big Little Lies co-star Alexander Skarsgård a kiss on the lips at the Emmy Awards.

Rift In The Relationship

Some have speculated that the incident has caused a rift in her relationship with Urban. One source close to the couple said that Urban was furious, Woman’s Day magazine reported that he felt she was “disrespecting and humiliating him.”

Reveals Facts About Keith

Kidman later addressed the bizarre kiss when she appeared on The Graham Norton Show. She told the British host, “I’ve got an amazing, supportive, gorgeous husband who I love more than anything in the world, and I gave Alex a congratulatory kiss, and he’s like a mannequin.”

Twist In Events

In a surprising twist, the couple recently announced they want to reaffirm their love by renewing their wedding vows. The revelation comes by way of In Touch magazine, which has reported the pair are preparing to say their “I do’s” one more time.

A Big Decision To Make

After all the personal triumphs and battles the couple have faced together, it seems their relationship is stronger than ever. The source told In Touch that Urban “has realized that he can’t live without Nicole and has asked her to renew their vows. Nicole thinks it’s a great idea.”

Privacy Needed

Unlike their extravagant first ceremony, the source asserts that this time they want the event to be more low key. The pair “want to keep their special day as private as possible, so only their closest family and friends will be invited,” they said. “It’s going to be very low-key and very romantic.”

Insider News

The insider also claims to know the secret location for the couple’s ceremony. “They’re secretly organizing an intimate beach ceremony for this winter in Hawaii, where Nicole was born,” they said.

Years Of Rumors

After years of vicious tabloid rumors, reaffirming their love for one another may offer the perfect opportunity to quash any further speculation about their relationship. Symbolically, too, the couple would appear to be leaving behind the wounds of the past and moving forward into greener pastures.

Two Lonely People

Kidman had previously been devastated by her divorce from actor Tom Cruise after eleven years of marriage. It seems the actress found new hope when she met Urban. Kidman told Vanity Fair in 2007, “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.”

Be Brave

But perhaps Urban put it best in his 2007 interview for People magazine. “She said early on that she wanted to be brave with me,” he stated. “I feel there was something else at work, bringing us together and then just continuing to watch over us.”

Causing A Stir

The loved-up couple, couldn’t seem to keep their hands off each other, packing on some heated PDA at Lincoln Center’s recent American Songbook Gala at Alice Tully Hall in New York City. The Big Little Lies star glittered in a breath-taking gold Givenchy gown, while her husband complemented her look in a well-fitted black tuxedo. As the two took to the stage to honor HBO CEO Richard Plepler, they turned to each other and leaned in close for a tender kiss.

What Does The Future Hold?

It seems the best is yet to come for this gorgeous A-list couple. Only time will tell what awaits the pair once they renew their vows and begin another chapter together.
