A post shared by Nicole Kidman (@nicolekidman)
The lovebirds wed back in 2006 during a traditional Catholic ceremony at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel in her hometown of Sydney.
Kidman and Urban married five years after her split from actor Tom Cruise, with whom she shares two adopted children, Isabella and Connor.
In 2022, the singer insisted that he and his wife are 'as normal as you get' on an episode of Jessica Rowe's podcast series The Big Talk Show.
He also spoke about the very first time they met at the G'Day LA event in 2005, saying he thought the stunning Hollywood star was 'well out of his league.'
'We're just a couple who work things out, go through things together, life, and support each other the best way we can and try and raise our family,' Keith explained.
'Underneath it all, we're as normal as you can get I reckon,' he claimed, before reflecting he was 'not in a great place' when they first met.
'[She] seemed well out of my league at that time in my life,' he said.
'I was not in a great place at my life, struggling with a lot of things, not in a million years would someone like that see anything in me... The fact that became what it is meant to be is astounding.'
He also sweetly described his wife as 'ethereal, angelic, other worldly, very mystical and then completely down to earth at the same time and very funny.'
Last year, Urban reflected on how he nearly destroyed his marriage, not long after they walked down the aisle.
'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 said while presenting at the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to Kidman last year.
Urban revealed that he was struggling with addiction when he first met Nicole and with her support he managed to eventually pull through.
'Four months into a marriage, and I'm in rehab for three months with no idea what was going to happen to us.
'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,' he concluded.
The father-of-two, whose previously said he grew up watching his father's heavy drinking, previously said it took him 'a long time to get sober' because he didn't 'recognize' his alcoholism.

The Sean Combs verdict is all about timing
H as anyone watched Get Him to the Greek recently? Yeah, didn't think so. A late-stage evolution of the bromance film genre, it came out all of 15 years ago, which might as well be 150 years ago now, and it was pretty popular back then. But few people talk about GHTTG any more, maybe because it wasn't actually that funny. Or maybe because it features Sean Combs as — in a way that seemed delightfully meta at the time, as he riffed on his off-screen persona — an oversexed man with anger issues. Oh, how we laughed. Last week Combs's trial came to an end when the jury acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking. Instead, he was found guilty only of the lesser crime of transporting prostitutes over state lines to partake in his sexual orgies, which he called 'freak offs'.

The moment I knew: he pulled me close for my last-ever first kiss
Moe and I met at an obstacle course race in south-western Sydney in 2015 when I was 21. He's a naturally charismatic guy and, while I wasn't immune to his charms, I didn't think of him again until nearly a year later when I saw him on a dating app. I swiped to say hello and he invited me to go rock climbing. I chickened out at the last minute but a few months later Moe joined the same gym as me. We became fast friends, regularly training and trail running together. I was at university at the time, living with my parents and dating someone else. I loved spending time with Moe but didn't register an inkling of romance between us. We slipped easily into a close friendship and were soon having dinner together a few nights a week. As my trust in our friendship deepened, I opened up to Moe about the problems in my relationship. At a dimly lit Indian restaurant in Liverpool on a cool autumn night I poured my heart out. My unhappiness felt like a shameful secret I'd been keeping from everyone, even myself, but I felt no judgment from Moe. I have always had a tendency to get stuck in tricky feelings, becoming frozen by all the ways I could handle a situation. I hate the idea of getting things wrong. That evening Moe was so sage and understanding, all my misguided shame melted away. I could suddenly see a way forward. His ability to help me untangle myself is still one of the things I appreciate most about him. That relationship ended not long afterwards and, while I was adamant Moe and I were strictly platonic, we were training and eating dinner together every day and bought puppies from the same litter. There were raised eyebrows among our friends and family, who assumed we were an item. I was in full-blown denial. I didn't know what anyone was talking about – we were just mates! In early October 2017 we wrapped up training as usual but, when Moe asked me to join him for dinner, his tone was different. The intensity of his voice and the look in his eyes ignited such nervousness in me that I turned his request down. But something had clicked, I knew I was on the precipice of a life-altering moment. I had to sleep on it. The next night, in our sweaty gym clothes, we headed to a local Vietnamese spot. I was twitching with nerves and, as the meal ended, the whole scene started to feel like a romance novel. Out the front I could hardly look Moe in the eye and, as I made a move for my car, he reached out and pulled me close. When he looked at me I knew I was about to have the last first kiss of my life. It was incredible. In a way nothing had changed but at the same time everything had. It was humbling to realise that everything we were was already there, I had just been oblivious to what it could become. By Halloween I knew I'd marry him and our son was born a year later. As I battled through pre- and postnatal depression my default was to disappear into myself. That old shame came knocking again. But as usual Moe was the calming, reassuring presence I needed. When I revealed how unwell I truly was, it was his quiet, steady support that got us all through. We were married in 2020, in an intimate ceremony at Uluru, and two years later made a tree change to Young, Australia's cherry capital, with our son and our border collies, Banjo and Nina. Even now, I still blush thinking about our first kiss. Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share?
