Back in June, Kidman celebrated her 19th wedding anniversary with a simple black and white photograph on Instagram, captioning the post, “Happy Anniversary Baby ❤️ @KeithUrban.”

In December 2024, Kidman also told PEOPLE that she loved date nights with Urban — especially when the plan was a surprise.

“I like being asked out, which he still does,” she said at the time. “Seven nights ago we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I’m open [to everything]. I like not knowing where he’s going to take me. Surprise me, baby!”
