Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
The 'Big Little Lies' star met the country singer in early 2005 and as their relationship grew stronger, the 51-year-old musician won the actress over completely with a romantic gesture.
In an interview with People magazine, she said: "It was my [38th] birthday, and he stood outside with gardenias at 5 a.m. on my stoop in New York. That is when I went, 'This is the man I hope I get to marry.'"
The 'Destroyer' star was then swept away on a motorbike by the 'Fighter' hitmaker took her to Woodstock in New York, the site of the 1969 music festival, and she knew he was the man for her.
She said: "It was pretty intense, I believed by that point he was the love of my life. Maybe that's because I am deeply romantic, or I'm an actress, or I have strong faith as well, but I just believed, 'Oh, OK, here he is.'"
The two married a year later and have two daughters, Faith, eight, and 10-year-old Sunday, and Keith praised the 'Big Little Lies' producer and actress for her role as a mother and a wife.
He said: "I could sum up Nic as a wife, mother and human being in three words: She's all heart!"
The couple spent Christmas with a "big crowd" in Nicole's native Australia and had a great time catching up with the 'Aquaman' star's extended family.
She previously said: "We usually go to Sydney for Christmas. My mother lives there, but as I live in America and my sister lives in Singapore, Momma needs us to go back regularly. It's a big crowd."
