Keith Urban's Heartfelt Shoutout To Nicole Kidman At The 2017 CMA Awards

Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about a moment that warmed hearts at the 2017 CMA Awards. Just moments after the ceremony kicked off in Nashville on November 8, country music superstar Keith Urban took home the Single of the Year award for his mega-hit “Blue Ain’t Your Color.” And let me tell you, his acceptance speech wasn’t just about the music—it was a love letter to his wife, Nicole Kidman.

Keith’s Sweet Tribute to Nicole

Now, picture this: Keith standing on stage, microphone in hand, surrounded by country music’s biggest names. After thanking everyone who worked tirelessly on the song, he turned his focus to his better half. Nicole, who’s been Keith’s partner in life for over a decade, couldn’t make it to the show because she was on an overseas trip in China. But that didn’t stop Keith from giving her a shoutout that was as heartfelt as it gets.

With a big smile, Keith said, “To my wife, Nicole Mary, who’s in China tonight. I love you so much, baby. I’m gonna FaceTime you in a second!” Can you feel the love? That’s Keith Urban, blending his country charm with a genuine love for his family.

Nicole’s Take on Their Relationship

Keith’s shoutout to Nicole wasn’t a surprise to her. Just weeks before this memorable moment, Nicole opened up about their relationship during an interview with Glamour magazine. The Academy Award-winning actress, who’s 50, revealed how she and Keith have carved out specific roles in their marriage. It’s a dynamic that works for them, especially with two daughters—Sunday Rose, 9, and Faith Margaret, 6—to care for.

Nicole explained that Keith takes on the “tough” role, which gives her the freedom to be more emotionally open. “Well, Keith always says to me, ‘You stay raw and sensitive, and I’ll buffer things for you,’” she said. “He is always told, ‘You’re so tough.’ And he says, ‘That’s not what I want for you, Nicole. You don’t need to get a thick skin.’” It’s clear that their partnership is built on mutual respect and understanding.

Nicole’s Future Plans

In 2016, Nicole shared her aspirations with the Today show. She expressed her desire to win another Oscar in the future, not just for personal achievement, but to publicly thank Keith for all he’s done. “The one thing I would love is, I would love to be able at some point stand up there and thank my husband,” she said. “He’s done so much in healing me and bringing me back into the world with good love.”

It’s a beautiful reminder that success, whether in music or acting, is sweeter when shared with the ones you love. Here’s to Keith and Nicole, and the love story that continues to inspire us all.
