Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have an incredible family bond and they're determined to keep it that way. 

The pair share two daughters, Sunday and Faith, and are close to their moms, siblings and other relatives too. However, their busy careers often mean that carving time out to be with their loved ones can be a juggle.

Keith then added: "Having the kids in there is great but the extended family as well because we don't have any family in Nashville so it is incredible to have all of the cousins and aunts and uncles and everybody, it is just amazing."

It's certainly been a busy time for the pair as Keith has had to make up for the postponement of his tour during the pandemic.

His US leg will wrap up on 4 November and the following month he'll kick start the Australian tour.  

"It has been just a banger of a year," he added. "This year already feels like two years rolled into one, probably just for how much we have been touring and the fact that the contrast was a-year-and-a-half of a very slow dormant touring period and then just suddenly everything wide open."
