Country music star Keith Urban and award-winning actress Nicole Kidman have been married for over a decade and have two young daughters together, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. The power couple is often open about their relationship and credit each other for their continued career success.
During Keith’s South by Southwest panel discussion on Friday, the artist revealed that his wife is the muse behind his romantic tunes. “Back before I met Nic and got married, I sucked at relationships and couldn’t give myself to the relationship. I’d write from a place in romance songs that I wanted to be at, but wasn’t at that place. And I realized I was writing from all these places of the kind of person I wished I could be. I wasn’t that person, but I wanted to be. It was only a song but my real life was a disaster. The only thing that’s changed in my life is I’ve more so become the person I was trying to be.”
Besides directly influencing his songwriting, Nicole’s impressive work ethic also inspired Urban to push himself more. “Nic inspired me to try anything, to do anything…because that’s how she approaches her own work,” the star shared.
The couple also shares the same life mantra to help them keep focused on what is important— “Nothing to hide and everything to protect.”
What a great mantra to keep in mind as the pair often travel the world chasing their dreams. The country entertainer’s upcoming GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR is set to start on June 15th in St. Louis, Missouri and wrap up in November with country music songstress Kelsea Ballerini providing direct tour support.
