Nicole Kidman celebrated the 17th anniversary of her marriage to Keith Urban, the man who gave her the greatest gift\u2014the gift of becoming a mother to their two children\u2014after unsuccessful attempts to conceive while she was dating Tom Cruise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nicole Kidman\u2019s high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise was shown to the world on a large screen, but she still won\u2019t discuss the specifics of what happened before their separation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Cruise was still married to actor Mimi Rogers, whom he divorced in 1990, the Mission Impossible star and the Oscar-winning actor first crossed paths on the set of Days of Thunder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kidman and Cruise, a star couple in Hollywood, got hitched in the same year. Kidman, who was 23 at the time of their wedding, acknowledges that her passion for the action star completely engulfed her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe basically swept me off my feet. \u2026 And as happens when you fall in love, my whole plan in terms of what I wanted for my life\u2013I was like, \u2018Forget it. This is it,\u2019\u201d\u00a0Kidman shared\u00a0of her relationship with the\u00a0Top Gun<\/em>\u00a0star. \u201cI was consumed by it, willingly. And I was desperate to have a baby with him. I didn\u2019t care if we were married.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hawaiian-born Australian and Cruise co-starred in a several movies while they were dating, including Eyes Wide Shut (1999), Far and Away (1992), and Malice (1993), the latter of which was about a young couple who wanted to start a family.<\/p>\n

Off-screen, the seemingly contented couple was also attempting to start a family. Kidman, who had two unsuccessful pregnancies with Cruise, claimed that she wanted children more than a successful acting career.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies\u2026And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that\u2019s when it came that we would adopt Bella,\u201d she says in an interview. \u201cThere\u2019s a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told. So that\u2019s the way it came up, and we adopted Bella when I was 25.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1995, Kidman and Cruise, a devoted Scientologist, adopted Connor, two years after having Bella (born in 1992). The To Die For actor and her Maverick husband joined pals to commemorate their tenth wedding anniversary in December 2000.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought our life together was perfect,\u201d\u00a0she said. But two months later, her world came crashing down when Cruise broke the news of their breakup without providing more than the curt statement, \u201cNic knows why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kidman said her agents warned that with Cruise, her career was destined for destruction. \u201cOnce you become Mrs. Tom Cruise, you do know your career is going to die. You\u2019re going to absolutely shoot yourself in the foot,\u201d\u00a0she recalled\u00a0being told.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

They were accurate, and she made the best decision possible by divorcing Cruise.After receiving her first Oscar nomination for Moulin Rouge (2001), the Golden Compass star went on to win her first Academy Award for 2002\u2019s The Hours.<\/p>\n

Then, in 2005, at G\u2019Day LA, a celebration honoring Australians who had emigrated to America, the stunning singer discovered her happily ever after with one of country music\u2019s hottest performers, Keith Urban.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very, very quiet about it, and we managed to get through a long period of time without people knowing about us\u2013which is pretty much our style still,\u201d\u00a0Kidman said\u00a0about the early days of her and Urban.<\/p>\n

The stunning couple announced their engagement at the 2006 Grammys and was hitched in June of that same year. The Kiwi-Australian country singer entered the Betty Ford Clinic for 90 days of treatment four months after their wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned an enormous amount having a relationship with someone who is in recovery. I\u2019m more than willing to walk it with him. The two of us are very committed to our relationship,\u201d she explained while speaking of their supportive and loving relationship. \u201cWe were in a very, very, very bad, painful place, and have managed to step through it\u2026And that\u2019s enough said. Anything else is overindulgent and unnecessary right now. And I think it jinxes it, in a way, and that\u2019s why I don\u2019t go on about my enormous feelings for this man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now in recovery, Urban and Kidman divide their time between residences in Australia, New York, California, and Nashville, Tennessee. Even though she was informed her chances of getting pregnant were poor, the couple received their first \u201cmiracle\u201d baby, Sunday Rose, only days after their second wedding anniversary in 2006. At the time, Kidman was 40.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving my baby has been a healing experience. It took me so long to have a child. I feel enormous gratitude. Sunday has healed an enormous amount in me. It\u2019s a very private thing, but she just has,\u201d\u00a0Kidman gushed.<\/p>\n

The blessings kept coming for the couple, who delivered their second baby, Faith Margaret, in 2008 thanks to a gestational carrier, two years later.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old Urban and Kidman recently posted a sexy Instagram photo in honor of their 17th wedding anniversary with the comment \u201cHappy anniversary my love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans raved about their love with comments like, \u201cHappy anniversary to a beautiful couple! I love watching you together,\u201d and \u201cYou two are sweet! Happy Anniversary!\u201d<\/p>\n

On Father\u2019s Day earlier in June, Kidman shared a sweet picture of Urban riding in a go-kart with their kids. \u201cHappy Father\u2019s Day to the coolest dad there is!\u201d reads the message on the picture. You are so loved by all of us! Your girls.<\/p>\n

Many followers joined in with congratulations for Father\u2019s Day, but some added, \u201cso sweet and very (hot),\u201d and \u201cSo beautiful and precious.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are so happy that Nicole Kidman found her happily ever after with Keith Urban, who fulfilled her dreams of having a beautiful family.<\/strong><\/p>\n
