Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban seem to have a pretty solid marriage after almost a decade together, but they started it out in an unconventional way. The parents of two got married less than a month into dating.
They’ve now been married for eight years and Kidman told the January 2015 issue of Elle that she’s “spontaneous” when it comes to marriage.
“I’m spontaneous. I jump in. I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other; I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it’s a more natural process,” she explained.
While promoting Paddington, Kidman spoke with The Guardian Australia about her tough year, during which she lost her father.
“Personally [it’s been] really really really hard,” she said. “My family underwent a massive tragedy. So not my favorite year. But I try not to be ungrateful – I’m grateful to be alive.”
Given the heaviness of her personal life as she grieves her father, Kidman said she’s happy to have made a film that’s lighter in subject material.
“I hadn’t made a film that had made people feel good for a long time. I’d made films that are darker in tone. So, it’s really nice to be able to make a film where you can say: ‘yeah, bring your kids,’” she said.
Kidman has two daughters with Urban, and two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.
