Nicole Kidman Steals the Spotlight with Sweet Support for Keith Urban at the CMA Awards

Twelve years into their marriage, Nicole Kidman continues to be a steady, loving presence by Keith Urban’s side—and at the 2018 Country Music Association Awards, she was there once again to cheer him on during one of the biggest nights of his career.

The Australian actress, radiant in a black feather-accented top and a sleek knee-length skirt, stood out with her graceful elegance. With her hair partially pulled back into a soft ponytail and waves cascading over her shoulder, Nicole exuded poise and pride as her husband was crowned Entertainer of the Year for the second time in his career.

Urban, dressed in a casual yet sharp ensemble—green t-shirt, jeans, and a plaid blazer—took the stage with gratitude and emotion. During his heartfelt acceptance speech, he thanked his fans, crew, God, and paid tribute to his late father. Holding back tears, he glanced toward his wife in the audience and closed with a touching, “God bless country music.”

Earlier in the evening, Keith wowed the crowd with not one but two performances. He first teamed up with Country Music Hall of Famer Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder for a high-energy rendition of Highway 40 Blues. Later, he brought the crowd—and Nicole—to their feet with a powerful performance of Never Coming Down.

The entire night was a beautiful showcase of not only Keith’s musical excellence but also the unwavering support and love he shares with Nicole. Fans watched as the superstar couple proved once again why they remain one of country music’s most beloved duos—on stage and off.
