Nicole Kidman recently marked a significant milestone by celebrating her 17th anniversary with her husband, Keith Urban. The couple, who have enjoyed a long and enduring relationship, have managed to keep their personal lives largely private, cherishing their quiet bond away from the public eye.
Reflecting on Past Relationships
Before her life with Keith, Nicole was married to Tom Cruise. Their marriage ended in divorce, and Nicole has chosen not to delve into the specifics of their split publicly. She has spoken about the whirlwind experience of falling in love with Tom and how it profoundly impacted her outlook on life.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole revealed, “From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies…And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when it came that we would adopt Bella.” The couple adopted their daughter Bella when Nicole was 25, and she hinted at a complex background to their story, which she might share in the future.
The separation from Tom Cruise, after ten years of marriage, left Nicole feeling confused and hurt. She noted that the role of being Mrs. Tom Cruise came with expectations that impacted her career. “Once you become Mrs. Tom Cruise, you do know your career is going to die. You’re going to absolutely shoot yourself in the foot,” Nicole explained.
A New Chapter with Keith Urban
In 2005, Nicole found love again with Keith Urban, and their relationship has flourished ever since. They have chosen to keep their romance private, valuing their quiet bond and remaining out of the public eye. Nicole has expressed her joy in their relationship, particularly appreciating Keith’s journey in recovery. “I’ve learned an enormous amount having a relationship with someone who is in recovery. I’m more than willing to walk it with him. The two of us are very committed to our relationship,” Nicole shared. Despite the challenges they have faced, their commitment to each other has strengthened their bond.
A Healing Experience
Becoming a mother with Keith has been a deeply healing experience for Nicole. After a long wait, she feels immense gratitude for their daughter, Sunday. “It’s a very private thing, but she just has healed me,” Nicole said, reflecting on the joy and healing that motherhood has brought into her life.
Anniversary Celebration
Nicole and Keith recently celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary, underscoring their enduring love and commitment. Nicole took to social media to share her heartfelt sentiments, posting a picture with the caption, “Happy anniversary my love.” Their relationship continues to thrive, marked by a deep and unwavering commitment to each other.
