Nicole Kidman Radiates Pride as Keith Urban Celebrates Major Win at the 2018 CMA Awards
Twelve years into their marriage, Nicole Kidman continues to be a constant source of love and support for her husband, Keith Urban. And at the 2018 Country Music Association Awards, she was right there beside him once again—beaming with pride during one of the most memorable nights of his career.
The Australian actress turned heads in a chic black top adorned with feather accents, paired with a sleek knee-length skirt. With her hair gently pulled back into a soft ponytail and loose waves falling over her shoulder, Nicole looked effortlessly elegant as she watched Keith take home the coveted Entertainer of the Year award—for the second time in his career.
Keith Urban, dressed in a laid-back yet stylish look—a green T-shirt, jeans, and a plaid blazer—took the stage with heartfelt emotion. In his moving acceptance speech, he expressed gratitude to his fans, his team, and God, and paid tribute to his late father. Fighting back tears, he looked toward Nicole in the audience and closed with a heartfelt, “God bless country music.”
Earlier in the night, Urban delivered not one, but two electric performances. He first teamed up with Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder for a high-energy rendition of Highway 40 Blues. Later, he brought the entire audience—Nicole included—to their feet with a powerful performance of Never Coming Down.
The evening was not just a celebration of Keith’s musical talent, but also a touching reminder of the deep bond he shares with Nicole. Together, they showed once again why they remain one of the most admired and beloved couples in country music—on stage and off.
