'She's an amazing wife and mother': Keith Urban gushes about Nicole Kidman after jetting back to Sydney for family time with his girls
They will soon celebrate eight years of marriage, but Keith Urban sounded like a love struck teen while opening up about Nicole Kidman in a TV interview.
The country singer, 46, gushed about his 'amazing' wife during an appearance on the Today Show on Monday morning.
The interview came after a night out with Nicole, also 46, and daughters, five-year-old Sunday Rose and three-year-old Faith Margaret.
The young family went out to see The Incredible Book Eating Boy at the Sydney Opera House.

The couple, who married in 2006, are based in Nashville, but are currently in Australia where Nicole is filming indie flick Strangerland, which also stars Hugo Weaving and Joseph Fiennes.
Keith's commitments as judge on American Idol mean that he has to fly back to Los Angeles every week for filming, though he is always keen to return to his family in Australia between episodes.
The film has seen her transform into a brunette for the gritty role and she was spotted on set looking battered and bruised last week.
‘I love that she’s so fearless with those choices, that she goes from something like Grace [a biopic about Grace Kelly] straight into this role,’ the 46-year-old said.
‘It’s always admirable, the fearlessness she has as an artist.
‘She’s always got cool things happening. They’re always eclectic.’
But it was Nicole’s role as wife and mother that Keith was most blown away by.
‘The thing I marvel at the most is how she does that and takes care of our family. She’s an amazing wife and mother.
‘People ask me, “How do you do it?” I say, “It’s Nic!”... She’s got all of us so incredibly taken care of. She’s amazing.’
In an interview on Mornings, he continued to gush about Nicole, saying: 'I’m immensely blessed that I got to meet her in this life.'

Urban talked about how he manages to balance family with his time away performing, though he says he is not away as much as people might think.
‘We’re only gone days at a time, not weeks and weeks… And when I’m touring, Nic and the girls come out and join me… The girls love the tour bus!’
Urban also talked about what he considers the highlight of his career – performing with The Rolling Stones.
‘Singing that close to Mick [Jagger] is ridiculous. It’s like an atomic bomb,’ he said.
‘It’s like Formula One, you just jump in and hang on. There’s a ferocious energy on stage.’
Keith Urban is currently touring with his new album Fuse.
