Keith Urban might have countless awards adorning his shelves, but this October he will have achieved his greatest prize of all – 15 years of sobriety. And it’s all thanks to wife Nicole Kidman, who, just four months after their June 25, 2006 wedding, staged a life-saving intervention that put him in rehab for the third and final time.
“It was really a profound moment in so many ways,” Keith told Oprah Winfrey in 2010 of the intervention. “The way in which Nic handled that moment was just perfect. Everything was just designed, I believe, for that moment to fuse us together.”
That night, Keith agreed to go into rehab for what was to be four tough months, resetting his life, their marriage and his work to start over fresh in 2007. And since then, the couple have never looked back.
“Nicole literally saved his life,” says a friend. “It could have been so easy for her to walk away and get the marriage annulled, but she didn’t. And it was no walk in the park that first year while Keith continued to battle his demons – the first few months of his sobriety were the hardest of her life.”
