In a recent interview, Keith Urban, the country star, opened up about various aspects of his life, including his struggle with addiction, his changed priorities, and his family life with wife Nicole Kidman. Urban, 54, discussed how his marriage to Kidman marked a turning point in his life, particularly in dealing with addiction.
The singer entered rehab several times throughout his early career, with the last stint occurring shortly after marrying Kidman in 2006. Reflecting on his past decision-making process, Urban mentioned how he used to weigh the consequences of his actions against the potential enjoyment they would bring. However, after marrying Kidman, his perspective shifted, and he emphasized the importance of staying married.
Urban, who shares two daughters with Kidman, Sunday (13) and Faith (11), highlighted how his priorities have changed, focusing more on being a positive example for his kids. He acknowledged making mistakes but expressed a commitment to guiding his children and encouraging them to pursue their passions.
In a candid moment, Urban discussed his past struggles with alcohol and his decision to abstain. Growing up in an alcoholic household, he realized that he was wired similarly and chose to avoid alcohol. Despite not speaking about it often, he emphasized his desire for his audience to have a great time at his shows.
Urban’s dedication to Kidman was evident when he traveled to Los Angeles to accompany her at the 2022 Oscars, where she was nominated for her performance in “Being the Ricardos.” Kidman appreciated his support, mentioning that he had played a concert in Las Vegas less than 24 hours before the event.
The couple’s relationship and Urban’s commitment to being a positive influence on his family demonstrate a changed and fulfilling chapter in the musician’s life.
