Keith Urban Opened Up About The Moment He Realized Nicole Kidman Was The One

Country music star Keith Urban and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman appear to be one of Hollywood’s most loved-up married couples. You see, the pair hasn’t stopped gushing about each other since getting hitched in the mid-’00s. And while being interviewed by another celeb in 2020, Urban offered another loving insight into his high-profile relationship.

Speaking to Dax Shepard

Kieth Urban was speaking on Armchair Expert, the hugely popular podcast co-hosted by comedic actor Dax Shepard. More than 200 famous faces have been interviewed by the Parenthood star alongside Emmy nominee Monica Padman since its launch in 2018. And the very first guest was none other than Shepard’s wife Kristen Bell.

One of Many Stars

It’s probably easier to name the A-listers who haven’t appeared on the podcast over the past few years. In 2020 alone Armchair Expert has attracted the likes of Alicia Keys, Sheryl Crow, Melissa McCarthy, Alanis Morissette, Rob Lowe, 50 Cent, Ashton Kutcher and Matthew McConaughey. But in an interview with the Los Angeles Times newspaper, Shepard revealed that the aim of the chat show was different to most.

The 12-Step Program

Yes, the inspiration for Shepard’s podcast ambitions came from none other than the 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous program. He told the newspaper in 2019, “People who are sober have had to go through so much introspection and get so vulnerable. I wanted to give people the experience of an AA meeting without them having to become a drunk.”

Battling Substance Abuse

Of course, Urban knows all too well about the demon drink. The country singer famously struggled with substance abuse during his rise to fame. And he had no qualms about discussing his addiction issues during his chat with Shepard and Padman. Unsurprisingly, Urban was more than happy to talk about his famous wife, too.
