In his appearance on an episode of "The Big Talk Show," the country star insisted that his relationship with his wife was "as normal as you can get."

"We're just a couple who work things out, go through things together, life, and support each other the best way we can and try and raise our family," Urban explained.

He continued, "Underneath it all, we're as normal as you can get, I reckon."

He also recalled the first time they met, adding the thought that the actress was out of his league.

"She seemed well out of my league at that time in my life," he added. "I was not in a great place in my life, struggling with a lot of things. Not in a million years would someone like that see anything in me. The fact that became what it is meant to be is astounding."

On the same podcast, Urban described his wife as "ethereal, angelic, other worldly, very mystical and then completely down to earth simultaneously and very funny."

Kidman was also full of glowing words for her husband. In her interview with Today, she mentioned that while they appeared to be perfect, they weren't a "role model couple."

"We don't want to be a pin-up couple. We just want to be a couple that has a great life together."

Kidman added that their marriage shouldn't be considered the prototype or standard as every relationship is different.

"Everyone has the right to their own relationship. We are just very protective of our little bubble. What works for us is what works for us," she concluded.

While speaking with The Sunday Times, the singer admitted that his wife's encouragement went a long way in helping him fight against his alcoholism.

"My dad was an alcoholic, so I grew up in an alcoholic house, and it took me a long time to believe I was wired the same," Urban added. "I had to find a different way to be in the world. I'm glad it didn't change anything about my music. I wrote plenty of hit songs while drunk. I wrote plenty sober. I feel lucky it hasn't defined my creativity."

To express his gratitude, he wrote a song in her honor, "Thank You," which detailed all the lengths she went to help him get back on track.

She Made A Surprise Appearance At Urban's Show In May

The pair celebrated their anniversary a month after Kidman made a surprise appearance at Urban's concert in Las Vegas.

As reported by The Blast, Urban posted the moment on his Instagram the next day. The clip showed Urban kissing Kidman before asking her for her name and hometown.

"What's your name?" Keith playfully asked her at the time. "Where are you from?"

The actress sweetly responded, "Nicole Urban."

Kidman also added her reason for coming onto the stage. She said "I wanna get your jacket, you put it on the floor.”  To which Urban responded saying, "She literally said, ‘Don’t lose that jacket,’ and I’m like, ‘How am I gonna lose the jacket?'”

The couple definitely have a sweet, genuine relationship and one we love to see wax stronger as the years go by.
