The Ingenuity of a Shared Space: Nicole Kidman’s Marriage to Keith Urban
Nicole Kidman claims that the secret to her flourishing 18-year union with Keith Urban lies in their sanctuary—the bathroom, particularly the indulgence of their shower.
Musical Moments in the Shower
The accomplished actress, now 57, confided that shower time turns into a melodic experience for both her and her husband, the renowned country singer.
“I also hear Keith singing in the shower, and I’ll hear his new songs forming,” Kidman revealed during a candid interview with W Magazine. “We have a double shower. The double-headed shower: key to a successful marriage. Separate commodes and a double-headed shower!”
The harmonious ambiance of their bathroom resonates uniquely in their relationship.
A Unique Connection Through Voice
Nicole shared another intriguing dimension of their communication style. She told Parade magazine, “We don’t text. We call. We’ve done this since the very beginning.” This revelation is not just about their preference; it signifies a deeper commitment to personal interaction. “It started because I didn’t know how to text, but now it’s simply how we operate.”
They have embraced a philosophy of ‘voice to voice or skin to skin,’ opting for calls and FaceTime while forgoing the potential pitfalls of texting. Kidman believes texting can be misleading, an assertion that speaks volumes about their dedication to conveying emotions authentically.
Family, Balance, and Transparency
Beyond their unique communication style, their shared philosophy centers around transparency. Kidman notes, “Not having secrets” has been crucial in maintaining their bond.
Keith Urban adds, “It’s always family first.” His perspective emphasizes the importance of balance. “It’s balanced, so it means it goes out of balance sometimes, and we just put it back in balance.” This awareness showcases their willingness to engage in the ebb and flow of life together.
The couple shares two daughters: Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Kidman also has two adopted children, Connor and Isabella, from a previous marriage. The actress’s relationship with her older children has been complicated, especially due to their association with Scientology and their father.
A fascinating tidbit from Nicole’s life: she met Tom Cruise while filming “Days of Thunder” in 1989, which led to a whirlwind romance and marriage. Their family life has changed significantly since then, particularly with her ongoing efforts to maintain family connections, despite the complexities that arise.
