When Nicole Kidman first met Keith Urban in 2005, she was instantly drawn to him. However, despite their initial connection, she recalls being left in suspense for months.
According to Kidman, after she gave him her phone number, Urban didn’t reach out for what felt like an eternity.
In a 2017 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Kidman humorously admitted, “I had such acrushon him, and he wasn’t interested in me! It’s true—he didn’t call me for four months.”
For Urban, it wasn’t a lack of interest but rather a personal hesitation that delayed the phone call. In 2018, during an appearance on the Australian talk showInterview, he revealed that he’d kept her number in his pocket for quite some time before working up the nerve to call.
“I kept looking at it thinking, ‘If I call this number, she’s going to answer. But what do I say?’” Urban explained. At the time, he admitted, he wasn’t in the best place mentally and doubted that someone like Kidman would be interested in him.
But one day, he finally mustered the courage to dial her number. “At some point, I plucked up the courage, and she answered. We started talking, and it was effortless. We talked and talked, and I knew she was the one,” Urban shared.
Since that fateful phone call,Kidmanand Urban have been inseparable. Nearly two decades later, their relationship remains as strong and loving as ever.
Their love story is one of enduring affection, personal growth, and mutual support, making them one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples.
