Recently, Keith Urban opened up about meeting his wife, Nicole Kidman, and shared their first encounter.

Urban said, “So, I’m going to speak to a little bit about a particular view I get of Nic for a long time now. But I’ll start with the fact that we met in January 2005. We were being honoured at this event called G’Day LA, which sounds a bit like a pick-up line from Crocodile Dundee.”

He continued, “We chatted very briefly. I was trying to play it cool, but inside I’d felt like I snuck into the wrong ball simply because Nic had such a truly otherworldly aura about her, and I felt like I was meeting a bit of a real-life princess. I know a lot of you can relate to that.” He added, “And despite all of that, I did manage to get her phone number on a tiny piece of paper. And I carried that number in my pocket for well over a week. I’d pull it out and look at it, put it back in my pocket. I was scared. I was nervous to call her.”

Urban continued, “I did, as you probably figured out, pluck up the courage to finally call her. We started talking and we just talked and talked like we’d known each other our whole lives. It turned out, this mystic creature was really just a wide-eyed vivacious giddy girl from the Sydney suburbs. And despite being born in Honolulu, she was utterly Aussie through and through.”
