Kidman lost her father, Dr. Tony Kidman, in 2014 and said Urban dropped everything to be with her and help her through the trying time. “I knew at some point that was going to come,” the Lion actress admitted. “But boy, when it comes, it’s — it lays you out. It laid me out. I was like, ‘I don’t even know how to get up from this.’”
Urban was about to go onstage for a show when he got the phone call from his wife “screaming and crying” saying that her father had just passed.
“He walked offstage and he got on a plane. He had just gotten there. He flew six hours, and he was right back there,” she recalled. “And he literally picked me up and carried — pretty much carried me through the next two weeks. And that, to me, that’s a marriage, and that’s love. And I’m so grateful to have that. And I also had, you know, my children going, ‘It’s going to be all right, Momma.’”
Kidman and Urban have two children Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, along with Kidman’s adopted kids with ex-husband Tom Cruise Isabella and Connor.
The full interview airs on December 18th at 9 a.m.
