Nicole tells Keith YOU NEED TO CALL ME!

When it comes to texting, it's a crying emoji for the Kidman-Urban household! Nicole left fans' heads spinning last week when she revealed that she has never texted her husband Keith.

Discussing the secret to their happy 17-year marriage, the Aussie actress says it's all down to her texting rule, which first started when they got together in 2005.

"We never ever text, can you believe that?" Nic, 56, confessed while chatting on podcast Something To Talk About. "We started out that way - I was like, 'If you want to get a hold of me, call me?

"I wasn't really a texter. I think he tried texting me a few times and I never texted back. Then it was like, this is quite nice.
