Nicole Kidman never thought she’d get married again after her divorce from Tom Cruise

Despite how Kidman and Urban are the ultimate couple goals, there was a point when the Moulin Rouge actor never thought she would find love again.

According to the Australian star, her relationship with Cruise was “perfect” and their sudden split was a shock to her system. Kidman reveals, “Our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system. That was a great relationship. I think it ran its course. I was really damaged and not sure whether [love and marriage] was ever going to happen again to me.”

Despite Kidman and Urban being very much in love, there are times when Urban needs to escape from his “female-heavy” family. Kidman tells Marie Claire Australia that she knows when Urban needs his space.

She reveals, “At times, he just needs to escape with his guitar. Sometimes I’ll find him in his closet playing guitar. That’s when I know we really need to give him space.”

She adds the other moment she knows Urban needs his “man time.”

“Oh, and he googles cars,” she says. “I’ll know when he’s stressed ’cause he’s googling cars.”

Yet regardless of Urban’s need for space, he is very much in love with Kidman. The singer even admits that he instantly could tell that she was “the one.” 

“She’s just the one,” Urban has said of Kidman, according to Fox News. “She’s the one that I was searching for my whole life. And everything not only changed but had to change in me if I was gonna go that road.”
