Shutting down break up rumors in style, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were seen cuddling on the AMC awards red carpet
Back off rumor mongers, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are doing fan-friggin'-tastic! Just a few weeks ago, rumors claimed that country singer Keith Urban and actress Nicole Kidman were heading for splitsville. But the couple proved the haters wrong when they appeared together at the American Country Music Awards together.
Various reports claimed that the couple was heading for divorce after failed attempts to save their marriage. Reportedly, the couple had stolen away to a 'secret couple's counseling retreat' that did not go according to plan. Many other sites reported that the couple was facing a $413 million divorce.
Now, the rumors have been put to rest because the two Aussie gems appeared together at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards. Nicole and Keith looked doubly in love with each other as they posed for the camera, and shared a quick cuddle.
The two have been married to each other for 12 years and have two daughters together, Sunday Rose, who is nine, and Faith Margaret, who is seven.
Speaking about his new album to Access Online, Keith discussed his new album, and how excited he was to work with his wife in the studio. The actress channeled her 'Moulin Rouge' singing and was successfully coaxed by Keith into providing his backing vocals for his upcoming album. "I don't have a lot of confidence in my singing," said the actress, "[Moulin Rouge] that was a long time ago and even then I get a lot of anxiety when I sing. I prefer acting because singing is hard for me."
As it turns out, Keith is a bit of a perfectionist. "Oh my god. [He kept saying] do it again, do it again, do it again," Nicole giggled, while Keith sniggered at the insinuation.
But all joking aside, the couple looked like they were doing fine and were not heading for divorcetown.
Keith laughed off the funny banter and all joking aside, he seemed genuinely excited to have his wife join him in this next album. The pair looked incredible on the blue carpet too. Nicole rocked a gold, sparkling Michael Kors Collection dress while Keith looked handsome in an all-black ensemble.
During their chat with Access, Keith also opened up about how important it was for country music to come together in Las Vegas following the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting that claimed the lives of 58 country music fans.
"Vegas strong is more than just two words — it's a spirit," Keith shared. "When something like that happens, it's our family that it has happened to. There's no separation between artist and the audience. It is all one."
"You see the camaraderie and the support, and the strength of the country music community. It's beautiful — the fans are all out there," Nicole added.
Keith's 11th studio album, titled 'GraffitiU', is set to be released sometime this year.
