Guests:
Oprah welcomed Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.
Show Summary:
To celebrate the upcoming Australian adventure trip, Oprah welcomed two Ausi superstars that make up one of Hollywood/Nashville's A-list couples -- Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. While Nicole Kidman has visited Oprah's chair before promoting various projects, this episode of The Oprah Show was Keith Urban's first time to visit the show. The couple spoke to Oprah for a rare glimpse inside their 4 year relationship and also helped get everyone in the Ausi spirit for the special in Sydney that will include an appearance by Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman again.
Special Highlights:
This episode featured the following highlights:
- Keith Urban was born in Australia and moved to Nashville to begin his American country music career -- one that has now been filled with success and love, with wife Nicole Kidman and their daughter Sunday Rose.
- Keith and Nicole have rarely spoken about their relationship and feelings for each other, but opened up about their dedication to one another, the rough road they endured with Keith's addictions to drugs and alcohol, and what having a child has meant to them and how it has deepened their connection.
- With a new album and movie to promote, the visit came at an appropriate time for the stars, but Oprah also had them in mind for another task -- the pair will also be appearing with Oprah on the Australian Adventure that includes the entire audience from the 25th season premier.
What to Take Away from the Show:
Seeing Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's love and devotion to the other and their relationship as a whole was inspiring and also eye opening to understand that celebrity marriage and relationships take work and commitment like any other. Keith Urban's dedication to his wife and daughter in the jacket of his latest album was touching beyond belief and showed how gifted he is at putting his emotion into words -- there were few dry eyes in the audience and even Oprah commented how beautiful it was to be loved so intensely. Fans are able to follow up after watching the show by purchasing Keith Urban's latest album Get Closer or seeing Nicole Kidman's new film Rabbit Hole when it hits theaters December 17th.
