Keith Urban delivered a memorable performance at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, singing his track “Straight Line” at the event held in Austin, Texas. While he did not receive any awards that night, Urban has previously won nine CMT awards out of 30 nominations in his successful career. Emma Roberts, who presented his performance, expressed her admiration for Urban and his wife, Nicole Kidman, calling his appearances at the CMT Music Awards “epic.”
Urban, who attended the awards show solo, shared insights into his 17-year marriage with Kidman on the red carpet. When asked about the secret to a long-lasting marriage, Urban responded that he has no advice to offer, as every relationship is different and unique. He also expressed interest in collaborating with Kidman musically, as they often sing together at home. The couple, who share two daughters, Sunday and Faith, have been a regular presence at various awards shows together, with Kidman becoming a familiar face at country music ceremonies.
Kidman, in contrast to her glamorous public image, confessed to preferring quiet nights at home over the pomp and circumstance of high-profile events. She revealed in an interview that she feels overwhelmed at times by the demands of her stardom and craves moments of normalcy and authenticity. Kidman emphasized the importance of her intimate relationships with loved ones, including her family and close friends, as the true meaning of life and the source of her sense of fulfillment and purpose.
In a CBS Mornings appearance, Kidman shared her deep love and respect for Urban, describing him as the best thing that has ever happened to her. She expressed gratitude for meeting him and emphasized their compatibility and mutual happiness. Urban, on the other hand, highlighted his marriage to Kidman as his greatest achievement and foundation for a fulfilling and meaningful life. The couple’s public declarations of love and support for each other underscore the strength and longevity of their relationship, built on mutual respect, shared values, and a strong connection.
