Nicole KidmanNicole Kidman has reportedly banned fiance Keith Urban from having sex with her until their wedding night.

The couple are rumoured to be getting married in Sydney later in the month - before Nicole’s ex-husband, Tom Cruise’s July wedding to Katie Holmes - and Nicole hopes the sex-embargo will make the wedding night more passionate.

Nicole reportedly got the idea from her friend Russell Crowe, who went sex-free for months before he married Danielle Spence in 2003. Russell commented at the time: “I was determined there would be a lot of pent-up energy on the big night.”
