Popular artist Keith Urban was born in Australia. His love story with his future wife, Nicole Kidman, had a fairy tale beginning.
In a 2007 interview with Vanity Fair, Kidman revealed that she was secretly engaged to someone else when she first met Urban in 2005 at a “G-Day LA” event honoring the work of Australians. However, the couple got engaged only three months after their chance meeting.
According to Metro, Kidman explained, “There was an enormous attraction initially, and we got engaged after three months, and then we got married really quickly, but we didn’t really know each other. We really only got to know each other after we were married.”
“I think meeting at a certain age makes a difference. And I trust my gut instinct. From the first minute I met him, there was a feeling of, Ah OK, somehow I’ve met home. And he had the same feeling. That was all we had, but that was the essence of what we worked from.”
The couple now has two lovely daughters.
Urban’s father, Robert, who tragically lost his battle with prostate cancer, was a significant influence on his life.
To honor his father’s memory and raise awareness, Urban attended the 2018 It’s A Bloke Thing luncheon in Toowoomba. However, there were concerns when paparazzi photographed him at the Sydney airport, leading to worries that the singer might be ill. In reality, he was appearing at the Prostate Cancer Awareness/Fundraiser event to perform.
Urban has a personal interest in raising awareness about prostate cancer because it has affected other members of his family, particularly his uncles.
Since Urban was willing to perform for free, the lunchtime fundraiser was able to raise a record-breaking $2,024,000!
This shows that Keith Urban is not only a talented musician and a dedicated family man but also a generous and kind-hearted individual.
