She was the Academy award-winning actress, and he the country music star with over 15 million record sales. When Nicole met Keith in 2005 at industry event ‘G’day LA’, she knew almost instantly she’d marry him. Her certainty was borne out just over a year later when their whirlwind romance culminated in a wedding. Karin Catt’s striking portrait of Kidman captures the Hollywood A-grader’s strength and presence, while Peter Brew-Bevan’s cool, restrained photograph of Urban evokes a laid back country music vibe. Deliberate in keeping their public personas separate from family life, the couple divide their family’s time between New York, Hollywood, Nashville, Sydney, and the NSW Southern Highlands.
