Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise tied the knot in 1990 and over ten later, they parted ways. Despite being in movies like Aquaman and Just Go with It, Kidman felt as if her stardom was only because of Cruise. She told a magazine that whenever she would accompany her then-husband to events, she would feel as if her job was to just sit still and look pretty.

“I felt I became a star only by association. We would go to the Oscars and I would think, ‘I’m here to support him.’ I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.

However, Kidman now feels absolutely content in her marriage with Keith Urban who she deemed a “Greater lover.” Kidman sure found her one true love! The couple shares two beautiful daughters, Sunday Rose, and Faith Margaret.

“I met him later in life and it’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. That man is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Kidman elaborated on how they were absolutely perfect for each other recalling their 15th wedding anniversary in 2021. While the actress chose to post a sensual photo of her and Urban on Instagram, Urban took the more adorable route, posting a photo of them in front of a Christmas tree. Kidman stated that this meant they were the perfect mix!

“Keith’s [photo] was us in our pajamas. Mine was a little more…what does that say about us? We’re a mix. We’re very suited [for each other]. I’m incredibly lucky to have him.”

It doesn’t get more adorable than this! It’s been about 17 years since the couple made it official and it looks like the love is growing stronger with each passing year. Is there anything more beautiful than two people in love?
