Keith Urban performed at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, singing his track “Straight Line” and receiving praise from presenter Emma Roberts. Despite not winning any awards that year, Urban has previously won nine CMT awards out of 30 nominations, including Video of the Year and Male Video of the Year. Urban attended the show solo but took the time on the red carpet to discuss his 17-year marriage with wife Nicole Kidman, stating that there is no one-size-fits-all advice for marriage and everyone should figure out what works for them.
Urban expressed interest in collaborating with Kidman, sharing that they sing around the house often. The couple, who have been married since 2006 and share daughters Sunday and Faith, have attended various awards shows together, with Kidman becoming a regular presence at country music ceremonies. Despite her glamorous red carpet appearances, Kidman confessed earlier this year that she would rather stay in and feels more like herself outside of the spotlight among family and friends.
Kidman emphasized the importance of her intimate relationships with family and friends, stating that is the true meaning of life for her. She expressed her overwhelming feeling at high-profile events and her need to retreat and feel real by going home and being with loved ones. Kidman described her diverse roles as a wife, mother, sister, and friend as the most meaningful aspects of her life.
During an appearance on CBS Mornings, Kidman praised Urban as the best thing that has ever happened to her, describing them as very suited for each other and expressing her gratitude for meeting him. Urban also shared his perspective on their relationship, revealing that his biggest achievement in life was marrying the right person for the right reasons. Kidman and Urban’s relationship has been a source of strength and happiness for both of them, as they navigate the challenges and joys of marriage together.
