Keith Urban may have had a busy week professionally, performing in Wildwood and Niagara Falls, but he also marked a special personal milestone.
The Stupid Boy singer celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary with Nicole Kidman on 25 June, and the Big Little Lies star shared a loved-up photo in honor of the occasion. Dressed in a blue and green mini dress, Nicole lay on a wall near Keith as he serenaded her with his guitar in an intimate holiday moment.

"Forever [heart emoji] #happyanniversary," she captioned the post.
Nicole and Keith's wedding

They confirmed their engagement at the 30th Anniversary gala for the United Nations Development Fund for Women in May 2006. Two months later, they tied the knot at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Australia, with the bride wearing a Balenciaga bridal gown with a statement puff sleeve on one shoulder and delicate ruffles.

Keith's marriage confession

Keith addressed their difficulties at the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute. "We got married in 2006, and barely four months into our marriage, the addictions that I had done really nothing about blew our marriage to smithereens," he began in a speech which moved Nicole to tears.

He added: "Nic pushed through every negative voice – I'm sure even some of her own – and she chose love. And here we are tonight 18 years later. Her capacity to love is like no one I've ever met."
