And Urban was also pretty much down for the count after meeting Kidman at the G’Day LA: Australia Week gala in January 2005, despite taking his sweet time to pick up the phone.
“I’m like, ‘You didn’t love me at first sight, you didn’t notice me,’ and he’s like, ‘Yes I did but I just didn’t let on,'” Kidman recalled on Ellen in 2013, “but we kind of met and then about four months later he called me.”
After which, the Oscar winner—who shares daughter Isabella32, and son Connor30, with ex-husband Tom Cruise—had no qualms about making it official, swapping vows with Urban on June 25, 2006, at the Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Sydney.
“I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other,” Kidman told Elle of their relatively whirlwind courtship. “I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it’s a more natural process.”
