Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman relationship timeline
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's love story is one of the most inspiring in Hollywood. The actress and the country music artist grew up in Australia, but they didn't meet until they were adults on the opposite side of the world, as reported by AccessOnline.
When they first met at a banquet in 2005, they immediately fell in love and married the following year. Kidman and Urban married in a candlelit ceremony at St Patrick's Estate in Sydney's coastal district of Manly. Isabella Jane and Connor Antony, Kidman's children with ex Tom Cruise, were also present at the wedding – Isabella was in her mother's bridal party.
Only a few months later, the newlyweds encountered a stumbling block when Nicole was forced to organize an intervention for Keith's addiction. Nicole had to conduct an intervention for Keith, who went on to seek treatment for addiction and spent three months in an in-patient facility (he had previously completed two spells in rehab).

Keith told Rolling Stone in 2016, "I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage. It survived, but it's a miracle it did." He attributed his success in rehab to Nicole, saying, "For the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction."
On July 7, 2008, the couple gave birth to their first child, a daughter called Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. It was their first child together. However, Nicole had already adopted two children with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Isabella Jane Cruise and Connor Cruise, as reported by Brides.
