When Keith Urban met Nicole Kidman at the G’Day LA: Australia Week gala in January 2005, he was pretty much down for the count.
Yet it took him four months to pick up the phone.
‘I’m like, ‘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,'” Kidman recalled on Ellen in 2013, “but we kind of met and then about four months later he called me.”
A month after that, the Oscar winner was sold, as well.
“It was pretty intense,” Kidman, who was previously married to Tom Cruise, told People in 2019 of falling hard and fast for Urban. “I believed by that point he was the love of my life. Maybe that’s because I am deeply romantic, or I’m an actress, or I have strong faith as well, but I just believed, ‘Oh, okay, here he is.'”
And she had no qualms about making it official not long after that, swapping vows with Urban on June 25, 2006, at the Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Sydney.
