Keith Urban has said he knew from very early on in their relationship that Nicole Kidman was a keeper.

The couple met in January 2005 and Keith told the Sunday Times recently that there was “something” there from the start: “there was something, a good connection. Something indefinable.”

“There was a familiarity to her, of course, but it had nothing to do with who she is professionally… You know, it was a different kind of familiarity, a mystic familiarity.”

“I am learning so much about myself from loving her. I am more comfortable with who I am because at the core I’m happy. It’s a beautiful journey.”

The couple married in June last year and furthering earlier clucky comments, Keith added that he’s very much looking to becoming a father: “[a baby] next year actually would be lovely.”
