Country music artist Keith Urban has spoken about a troubled episode during his wedlock with actress Nicole Kidman, disclosing that his former addictive habits were the reasons for their divorce. Kidman swooped down on him when he was lost and Urban in a heartfelt recent interview admitted he was “about to let go of everything” – his marriage.
The “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer also disclosed that he had addiction issues at the beginning of their marriage when saying “I almost blew it. I was in rehab, and I was not sure I was going to pull through.” Urban’s gravity explains why they married Kidman in 2006 and a few months had plenty of issues. They fought over his addiction, something that had followed him all sore, only to resurface threatening the verge of the relationship.
But Kidman the Oscar award winning actress was a great comfort in the chaos and in fact played an important part in George’s recovery. Urban said: ‘Nicole stood by me, and I don’t think I deserved that. I felt that second chance she gave me and saved me in words I cannot even put to paper.’ The Australian musician attributes most of his recovery to his wife’s undying faith in him and his resolve to get better because of that.
The couple, who currently have two daughters together, went on to become one of the most loved couples in Hollywood during these years. Urban, recollecting their journey said it was post his recovery that their bond towards each other strengthened. “Every day I give thanks for her patience and love. I am the luckiest one,” he said.
Urban’s apology is needed because it shows the troubles to which the stars have to face, but it also demonstrates how love and bonds can surpass all assignable limitations. Currently, Urban marks almost 20 years in marriage longer with Kidman and fully appreciates all the chances to love and be loved again.
