Keith Urban was "scared and nervous" to ask Nicole Kidman out on a date, when they first met.
The 56-year-old singer has been married to 'Eyes Wide Shut' actress Nicole, also 56, since 2006 but as his wife was given the AFI Life Achievement Award in honour of her successful career in 2024, he revealed that he thought she was a "real-life princess" when he first started to pursue her.
“I was trying to play it cool, but inside I felt like I'd snuck into the royal ball simply because Nic had such a truly otherworldly aura about her. I felt a bit like I was meeting a real-life princess. I felt a bit like I was meeting a real-life princess.
"And despite all of that, I did manage to get her phone number on a tiny piece of paper. I was scared. I was nervous to call her. I did, as you probably figured out, pluck up the courage to finally call her."
