This Photo of Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Was Taken Minutes after They Met: ‘I Remember Thinking, I Had Such a Crush on Him'

After dealing with the trials and tribulations of life, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban found their golden love story. Now that the couple's anniversary is coming soon, the duo took a trip down memory lane in one of their gorgeous homes outside of the city and reminisced about how blessed they are over photos they had taken together throughout their relationship. Within that album lies the picture of when they met for the first time.

Famous American-Australian Hollywood movie star Nicole Kidman and Australian-American singer Keith Urban are set to celebrate their 17th anniversary on June 25. The couple has two daughters — Sunday, 14, and Faith, 12.

The doting parents adore their children and, despite their hectic work schedules, make avid efforts to ensure that they are always there for them. They took a family vacation to Australia on a lavish private jet earlier this year, with photos captured and obtained by The Daily Mail showing how fast the young girls are growing.

More images were snapped as the family walked along the tarmac to the aircraft, and many marveled at how tall the couple's daughters looked. Some even said they would grow as tall as their mother — Kidman.

The children resemble her in the fashion department, not just in looks. Both girls adorned fashionable denim jeans and sneakers and had their hair tied back into neat ponytails. When they reached their destination in Australia, the family decided to surprise fans with a visit to a local kebab shop in Sydney.

The trip came after Kidman and Urban spent some time apart while she was stationed in Hong Kong filming the Amazon drama series "Expats." After coming back to Sydney, Kidman and her family spent the Christmas holiday together.

Following the festivities, Urban and Kidman enjoyed a relaxing day at the beach and posed for cute pictures with fans. The kebab shop they visited even posted a picture of the couple, calling them local legends whose support they were thrilled to have.

The famous duo is open about how incredibly blessed they are to be living their incredible lives, and every day their milestones as a couple gets celebrated. Of these fantastic achievements comes their real-estate portfolio, which boasts an array of luxurious properties across the US and a fantastic family farmhouse in Sydney, Australia, where they spent Christmas (as mentioned previously).

The Sydney residence they purchased in 2008 is now valued at a whopping $4.5 million. The family tends to spend half the year in this farm home, bought to take pleasure in and embrace the simple naturalistic things life has to offer.

The main building is centered amongst 111 acres of sprawling land, boasting an alpaca and cow working farm, an orchard full of fresh fruits that Kidman enjoys picking, and a separate visitor's cottage. In keeping with her fun and carefree nature, there is also a trampoline on the farm grounds where Kidman takes impromptu photoshoots. The residence also overlooks beautiful, vast rolling hills, making for a spectacular view.

Giving her fans an exclusive look into the unseen spaces of her farm home during Vogue's 73 Questions, Kidman revealed a games room with a pool table, a grand piano in one of the living spaces, and an old-world charm cozy library. For Kidman, it's all about the peace, simplicity, and fresh air that prompted her and her husband to purchase their farmhouse.

As aforementioned, the couple celebrates their wedding anniversary on June 25, and they will reach their 17th year of marriage this year. Last year, Kidman dedicated a sweet anniversary tribute to Urban with a beautiful throwback photo from their wedding day.

In the picture, Urban can be seen lighting some candles with a smile plastered on his face while Kidman lovingly looks on. Her caption read:

"Sweet XVI. [I] remember this like it was yesterday. Forever."

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Take a Trip Down Memory Lane and Reminisce over a Photo of the First Time They Met

Rewinding to the first time that Urban and Kidman met, the "Eyes Wide Shut" star revealed how she had fallen for Urban first. While on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" back in 2017, Kidman disclosed:

"I remember thinking I had such a crush on him, and he wasn't interested in me. He didn't call me for four months."

The year before the interview, Urban posted a throwback picture of the first photo he took with Kidman when they were first introduced. Kidman divulged that the couple had forgotten that the picture existed until it got sent to them by the random stranger who had taken the photograph.

Kidman's suspicions that Urban was not all that interested in her got debunked by her husband, who explained that it was not that he had no interest in her, but it was simply that he was slightly intimidated by her. In fact, the singer gave his own account of how starstruck he was to be in Kidman's presence.

Urban described the sort of ethereal encounter he experienced when meeting his wife for the first time. He worked up the courage to walk over to her and say hi but was quickly thwarted by nerves to engage in a full-scale conversation, so he left almost immediately afterward.

"The Fighter" artist instantly recognized his callosal mistake in leaving Kidman so quickly. Thankfully, via the wise counsel of a friend who gave Urban the push he needed to approach Kidman, he returned to the movie star, and the two hit it off right away:

"A friend of mine said, 'I think she wanted to talk to you.' And I was like, 'Me? Why would she want to talk to me?' So, I went back over and apologized, and we just started talking and just really clicked."

The "You'll Think Of Me" singer claimed his relationship with Kidman changed his life forever. He even went so far as to say that their encounter was a classic case of divine intervention.

In a 2018 interview with Andrew Denton, Urban disclosed that, to some degree, he never expected Kidman to have taken an interest in him because he considered her to be out of his league. He found her during a tough time in his life, so naturally, he needed the intervention of his and her friends to help him find the confidence to go after her.

Sharing a kiss and an embrace, holding hands, and gazing lovingly at each other are all a part of how Kidman and Urban show affection toward each other.

Urban remembered the moment after they met, stating that someone had given him Kidman's number. He kept it in his pocket for some time, long before working up the courage to call her. According to Urban:

"Somebody had given me her number, and I had it in my pocket for a while. I kept looking at it thinking, 'If I call this number, she's going to answer [and] I don't know what to say.'"

Urban's nerves stemmed from the fact that he wasn't in the healthiest place in his life then and was worried that this would turn Kidman off. However, after working up enough courage, he eventually called her, and the two talked endlessly in a way that Urban described as effortless.

Before meeting Kidman, Urban revealed that he had been battling addiction for ten years. He also disclosed that it was Kidman who helped get him to rehab in 2006, a few months after they wed.

What Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Relationship Looks Like Now

Hollywood is infamously known for its often short-lived whirlwind romances and marriages between stars. Whether it is due to incompatible hectic work schedules or other personal reasons, only a few relationships have the tenacity to stand the test of time, and Kidman and Urban's marriage is one of them.

In an interview with DeGeneres, Kidman was asked about the two most important men in her life — her father, who unfortunately passed away, and her husband, Urban. The film star went on about how much of a support system Urban continued to be for her, especially after her dad's passing, and revealed how he always made sure to write her love letters whenever the two of them were apart.

Similarly, Urban described his union with Kidman as a sort of rebirth for him. After struggling with addiction for so long, he admitted that this battle had briefly plagued their marriage, but the duo eventually came out the other side.

The singer detailed his marriage with Kidman as a spiritual awakening through which he grew rooted within and to her. He claimed this was the first time in his life that he felt strong enough to fight to be free from the shackles of addiction.

The pair are the ultimate definition of being ride or die for each other. They support each other with and through everything they go through in life, especially in their careers. Both of them believe their story is built on love and commitment to showing up for each other.

Kidman recalled one particular instance where her husband flew 10 hours to be with her on the night of her "Photograph 51" premiere in London, despite being in the middle of a tour in the US. Urban then hopped back on a plane to make it in time to perform a show.

Being labeled as one of Hollywood's sweetest couples comes with its fair share of hard work and effort. When asked about what the secret to their happy marriage is, Kidman shared the importance of turning the "I" into a "We" when getting into a relationship:

"I think it's knowing that you have to keep contributing to what we call the 'us.' You go, 'Does this work for us?' When you make an us, it's yours together - that's what you create."

Kidman and Urban believe that they are the best things that have happened to each other. Some additional marital advice the "Australia" star had to share was always making it a point to kiss one's partner hello and goodbye every day as another way of staying connected.

Sharing a kiss and an embrace, holding hands, and gazing lovingly at each other are all a part of how Kidman and Urban show affection toward each other. This is especially so when they make debuts at red-carpet events.

Accompanying these actions comes the adorable pet name that Urban has for Kidman — baby girl. In almost every anniversary and birthday tribute post, Urban will sign his sweet message to his wife off with an endearing "baby girl" toward the end.

The duo is also a philanthropic couple and actively participates in essential charity organizations that focus on advancing and addressing social needs and giving back to communities. One special morning, Kidman and Urban had the pleasure of joining the VUMC Children and The Ryan Foundation to raise awareness and support. Kidman posted the experience on Instagram with the following caption:

"Thank you to the @VUMCChildren & the @RyanFoundation for letting us share the morning with these beautiful, brave children and their families."

When they are not too busy with their careers and philanthropic endeavors, the couple loves to spend good old quality family time together. On both of their Instagram pages, multiple photos depicting the duo on lavishly romantic getaways populate their feeds.

Whether it's vacationing on the beaches of their beloved hometown Sydney, or Kidman accompanying her husband on his tours, the couple travels together often. The pair also occasionally engages in impromptu singing duets at the piano, with their daughters filming them in action.

When two people get married, maintaining the dating phase helps keep the spark of any romantic relationship alive. Kidman and Urban's relationship is a testament to this, as the two make it a point to have date nights regularly, even if it has to be at an awards show or gala.

Urban and Kidman appear at every outing as though they are two teenagers in love. With each day that passes, the married couple gets stronger and looks as though they fall deeper in love with each other every time they are spotted together.

Kidman and Urban's love story has followed its own unique fairytale, where instead of the valor-ridden prince charming sweeping the princess off her feet, this prince (Urban) took a while to feel worthy of such an amazing princess. However, once courage came into the picture, their relationship took off and has reached all new heights ever since.

Their love story continues to be written to this very day, as the happy couple continues to live a blessed life with their two daughters in their fabulous home.
