Nicole & Keith Don’t Look ‘Distracted’
Nicole Kidman and hubby Keith Urban look happier than ever together, holding hands and walking into the world premiere of Distracted starring Rita Wilson at the Mark Taper Forum on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, Calif.
Nicole is expected to arrive in Sydney, Australia next week for pre-production on her new film Australia. Her co-star Hugh Jackman is already in town.
Keith recently opened up to UK’s The Sunday Telegraph:
- On wanting children of his own:”I am looking forward to fatherhood. I have always wanted to be a good dad. My brother’s got two kids and he’s an excellent dad and I think we both have that sense of being home and being solid family guys.
- On being a stepfather to Nicole’s two adopted kids, Isabella and Connor: “I don’t get to see the kids as much as probably a lot of stepdads would, but it is a good relationship.”
- On turning 40 in October: “It feels just right. I don’t feel what I thought that wretched age was going to be like. I have done a lot of things and it has been full up to this point, especially the last few years, so I am grateful for that.”
- On his marriage to Nicole: As far as being a married man, it is the best thing I have ever done. And it is not just about being married; to me, it is about being married to her, to that woman because she has just saved my life — absolutely saved it. Everything happens for a reason so the timing of that (rehab) was divinely inspired.”
- On being forced to cut short their January holiday on the NSW South Coast in after a run in with Australian paparazzi: “Because Nic and I are so private, it tends to make people want to see what that privacy is really all about. If we were plastered in the magazines all the time and sort of got pictures willingly, it would wear off and probably people wouldn’t want them so much. The fact that we actually go out of our way to be a bit more elusive tends to exacerbate the situation but I would just rather have a more quiet life, like we do. It is relatively quiet compared to most, I think.”

Thanks JJ! I love Nicole Kidman and Keith is growing on me! Thanks for covering them.
Best wishes to Keith and Nicole. :)
Keith looks good…but not terribly happy. Kidman, as usual, has her lips all plumped up and is holding her head down like she’s ashamed to be seen with him. She’s going to a premier…can’t she hold her head and smile for a photographer? She looked ridiculous coming out of the Clapton Concert and now, she looks equally silly.
wonderful! wonderful! wonderful
The best couple from Hollywood!
Nicole will never again look the way she did during those Tom Cruise days…sigh.
I miss her old self, but if she’s happier now, then I’m happy for her & Keith.
On being a stepfather to Nicole’s two adopted kids, Isabella and Connor: “I don’t get to see the kids as much as probably a lot of stepdads would, but it is a good relationship.”
To me that sentance says a lot. You hardly see Nicole with her kids but yet you see Katie with them all the time. While this is good for a healthy relationship with the stepmother what about the relationship with their actual mother. I just think it’s sad.
I don’t know what the custody arrangements are between Tom & Nicole but you would think that Nicole would want to spend equal time with them.
Keith doesn’t look too happy to me.
Respect the children, they are not in the pictures.
Keith and Nicole, you are beautiful together.
no matter how much botox nicole uses, she will still be gorgeous
[Hmmmmm 'far and away' - memories]
that keith is such a DownGrade from Tom. these 2 aren’t even the 10th best couple in Hollywood. lol (and it isn’t nicole’s fault)
They are always holding hands. That is so sweet. His words say it all. Nicole saved his life…

And what? You look better? Eventually all of us gets older wether we like it or not. And they know that. It’s not like they are pim-ping themselves out there.

Did it ever occur to you, that he’s probably just had it with the paps as well? Read his interview.
Ohmygosh! What wonderful photos! They both look absolutely great! Keith doesnt look happy at all but I can see why! It’s because of the stupid shutter bugs! But oh well at least he doesnt complain about them. Im not trying to spread rumors but in that last pic it kind of looks like Nicole could be pregnant but I think it’s just the way her shirt is that is making her look bigger in the stomach. But what fabulous photos though.
damn that hair. she needs to tame that wild be beast on her head.
I forgot she even had kids… I bet she did too.

Downgrade from TC? I don’t think so….. In spite that KU has to lick the battle of the booze, and that says a lot for a guy to admit that and go to rehab, it’s obvious Nicole is happier. Her man is trying, unlike TC who is an intense control freak and fanatical scientologist. That is the worst! I feel sorry for KH.
Can someone PLEASE tell me what makes these two so newsworthy????? Prior to Keith Urban, you didn’t see Nicole Kidman much in the tabs anymore at all. Prior to Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban was a PRIVATE man. I don’t find anything newsworthy whatsoever about these two to be in the tabloids every flippin’ week. I guess if you’ve got millions of dollars to tip off the paps and pay them handsomely, people will think you are newsworthy. I’m not buying it. Nicole and Keith - PLEASE GO AWAY. You’re not newsworthy!
This couple is adorable.
A LOT OF LOVE!!!!!
I think Keith looks good, he doesn’t have to grin like an idiot (or Cruise) for the photogs. They’re going to a movie premiere so they KNEW there would be photogs present and it’s completely normal at a movie premiere. This is not about invading their privacy so I don’t understand why she has to make a spectacle of it though with her head low, pretending to be all shy and bothered instead of acting normal. Maybe she was trying to cover those freshly plumped lips? I agree that it’s a revealing sentence about the kids. I guess she pretty much gave up them up to this lunatic. Sad
Asante!
Thank you! (in Swahili)
Always love seeing Nicole!!!
Juno, keith who?!? he’s a nobody. Lame
TC can be a “intense control freak and fanatical scientologist”! that is still better than be a F-ing ‘abc’ - alcoholic b-list celebrity.
Nicole was in love with the guy for a reason, and KH as never been more popular.
Nicole is not ashamed, she’s trying to be the demure bride. Everyone knows she wears the pants in the relationship but she doesn’t want to rub it in Keith’s face that’s why she does the walking one step behind, looking down move. It gives him the illusion that he’s a mighty, mighty man.
Me Tarzan
You Jane
RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOAAAR!!!
I agree with Rachel, his statement about the kids speaks volumes. You rarely see her with her children and as a parent that bothers me.
Maybe, since he’s better they can do some bonding with the kids.
COGirl,
JUST CURIOSITY….
why you are seeing these pictures?????
it is ridiculous….
Nic and Keith, you are wonderful!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you don’t see her with her children because Tom won’t let her. He probably doesn’t want his children spending time with an Alcoholic (albeit a sober one)
Does she really leave in Texas? I don’t see her as the Texas type, I think it’s just a way to connect with the little people. I miss the old Nicole, she was more approachable.
Man am I reading a lot of jealous comments here. They don’t tip the paps. Read keith’s comments. They try to be as private as possible. They go a lot of places without photogs seeeing them.

———————————————————
Because I happened to come to this site and wala!! There they are again!! Wow! It’s so newsworthy to see Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban coming out of a theater. Big friggin’ deal!
And Daisy: They don’t tip the paps? Are you KIDDING me? How naive are you???
I think they look nice together.I’m glad to see Keith looking healthy now.I wish them the best!
Care with the envy…
it is a disease.
A lot of love for Nic and Keith!!!!
Get a grip Vanessa - I’m certainly NOT envious of those two. I like my private, personal life just the way it is. I have no desire to be famous and to be putting my entire life on display for the entire world to see, regardless of whether it’s newsworthy or not.
I’d have to say be careful with the worshipping celebrities - that’s a worse disease!
How many actors DRINK in Hollywood?
Almost all.
HYPOCRISY.
Congratulations, Keith.
relax,
Nic and keith are happy, beautiful, wonderful, rich.
peace for you.
COGirl, I am not naive at all!!! Look at the original pictures at gettyimages.com there are more celebrities then just them there. This was a world premiere of a play!!! Jared just chose to only use the ones of Nicole & Keith because apparently Jared likes to post pictures of Nic & Keith. This is Jared’s website, his decision. He could have posted more of the other celebs as well.
To answer “Tom’s Fault” No Nicole does not live in Texas. They live a lot of the time in Tennessee. A way to connect with the “ittle people?” Nashville has some of the most well known people in the music industry living there. It is not exactly the back woods.
Tom = always with his kids.
I like Nicole [God I wanna bang her!!!] but i honestly cant remember the last time I’ve seen her and the kids together.
Love Nicole’s jacket! Keith looks like he’s just stepped off the plane from Oz.(He was pictured in that shirt on Friday in Sydney)
He has been home since early Friday in the States. They are a day ahead of us.
he is getting chubby
His hair looks clean for a change. Pretty and talanted couple. I’d much rather see these two than no talent Paris Hilton and her latest boy toy.
It takes a big man to say that his wife saved his life. It also takes an honest man to say “I don’t get to see the kids as much as probably a lot of stepdads would, but it is a good relationship.” …..he is telling the truth. If there was something wierd or off about Nicole’s relationship with her kids would he have said that statement? His remark states ….the way it is frankly. If there was anything to hide he would not have made that comment. He spoke openly about the kids/relationship. I think Nicole see’s her kids more than anyone knows and so Keith doesn’t need to cover up for her lack of “mothering”.
Well, Keith pretty much said he doesn’t see them much at all so, unless Nicole doesn’t live with him much either, she doesn’t see the kids much. I think he was being honest about it and I wish Nicole worshippers stopped with “she protects her kids from the photogs” refrain. If she can protect her kids so well, how come she can’t protect her honeymoon, rehab or St. Bart’s vacation “intimate” pictures from being taken? This was a movie premiere photographed by getty, not a paparazzi assault at poor, shy, “demure” Nicole. Everybody else there behaved naturally, smiled at the photogs or simply walked by. I don’t understand why she has to put on a fake “I’m so shy” act when she’s almost 40. I have a feeling that Keith may not be fully aware of the degree of media manipulation he’s subjected to.
Love this couple. All things considered, they manage to stay grounded.
I hope this is a REAL marriage as opposed to the CONTRACT she had with tiny tom!! My gut tells me this won’t last.
She definitely tips off the paps. They just happened to be there EVERY time she visited him in rehab. Please, Nicole Kidman is the queen of media manipulation. She is also the most overrated actress in Hollywood.
Whatever~~~ ^^^^^^
I wish Nicole & Keith happiness!!!!
She looks so stupid with her head down. He looks like he’s leading a blind woman. She is not normal.
I think they are great. I admire them both for their talent, but mostly for their charity work. They are both beautiful. I do know Keith is hot and anyone seeing him in concert will be a fan by the end of the evening. I think Nicole is an amazing actress. I have blue eyes and flashes from cameras really bother me, imagine dozens of flashes in a row.
As always, the naysayers will find every chance to smear Nicole and Keith. He said “*I* don’t get to see the children as often”, not “we”. That’s understandable as he was in rehab for a long period of time. Nicole, on the other hand, could easily have gone off to see her children.
He is definitely a step UP from TC!!!
WOW they loook adorably fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicole is beautiful what ever people say.. they are just jealous. and Keith is a star!
perfect couple!!! happy days to the aussies best =D
xx
They can stay in hiding forever. At least this time NK isn’t on a contract or being paid for being married and playing the beard…….
THEY R SO CUTE TOGETHER.I HOPE IT LAST FOREVER.I THINK IT IS T.C FAULT THAT SHE NEVER SEES THE KIDS AS MUCH AS HER & KEITH WOULD LIKE.I SRRY BUT I THINK KEITH IS A MUCH BETTER MAN THEN T.C WILL EVER BE.

You should not look to celebrities for their charity work. They are actors & musicians first, NEVER forget that. Everything else is extra and everyone and their grandmother does the extra charity work.
If this is Keith’s look of “happier than ever”, he must of been pretty sad lately. Personally, I’ve seen him a lot happier looking and those were all in pictures of him prior to marrying that thing he’s holding on to.
Nicole saved him from being unknown in Australia, that’s it. And she’d have to see her children once in a while before he could.
And they do tip the paps. They tip them in beer. (see “private” wedding)
Hollywood pretend marriage.
Marie claire
Who died and made you the queen of telling people how they should look at celebrities? If she wants to look at them for their charity work, that’s her business and if you want to look at them as actors first, that’s your business. Different strokes for different folks, people. Jeez!
” At least this time NK isn’t on a contract or being paid for being married and playing the beard……. ”
HA HA! Sure she is! Only this time she’s the one paying and he’s the beard!
Why does she always look down? She’s been doing this for 15 years now and she always held her head up when she was with Tom. Now she’s suddenly shy? Pleeze! You’d think a couple who wants privacy so much would spend more time alone at their house or with friends and not always at concerts and movies and restaurants and big boats, waving at the photographers.
Anybody who believes this is anymore than a Hollywood hookup is plain stupid.
“They live a lot of the time in Tennessee. ”
No, Daisy, they don’t. As a Nashvillian, I can tell you for certain they haven’t been here since last October and she was rarely here while they “dated”.

****
KU a nobody?? My a-s!! He may not have the same amount of $Mils as TC or NK, but he is a millionaire just the same, he’s won awards in country music, can sing and do have a large fan base. If you say he’s lame, then you have a very shallow idea of an ideal relationship.
And if you think that being in a controled and dominating relationship is better, you are in for a rude awakening if ever you are in one. That is an obsessive relationship! Yeah, Necole have been at one time in love with TC, but thank God she woke up from that trance. KH may have gain popularity due to TC, but happy - I doubt it. Right now the money is doing the talking and blinding. Give it a few years, and either she wakes up, or just plain become a Stefford housewife.
Also, as I said, which you cannot ignore, KU is overcoming his habit. It takes a big man to face his demons, and put credit where credit is due - to Nicole.
And thank you Jared for posting them. I have high hopes this two will prove the naysayers wrong, and will live happily ever after, even when they eventually drop out of the limelight and get to live the private quiet life Keith hopes for.
I think that Keith is a nice chap though I don’t know anything about his music. Addictions aside, he just looks like a normal, decent and nice guy. I agree, definitely a better choice than GMD. I’m not sure why he married her though and so quickly after they started going out (not to be outdone by TomKat over-the-top media coverage?). She dated Q-tip and Lenny Kravitz before him. Compared to them, Keith is a step up too but then it seems to me like she dates musicians to get that cool and hip factor she clearly lacks. I hope they’re happy but I think she’s definitely weird and was probably screwed up by years of dealing with Tom and his insanity. She used to be so gorgeous, healthy-looking and outgoing.
We are soooo sick of the coy Nicole, looking down as if she doesn’t want to be photographed.
Puhleeeze.
I wonder if Keith gets paid by the photograph?
The millions that Keith earned prior to Nicole were thanks to Country Music, a genre of which Keith has “moved on” from.
Oh - and in Nashville - Keith’s hardly known as a family man!
Pottymouth, that is untrue. KU was in Nashville at the end of February. He has a private concert for some of his fans. Apparently you were not invited. HA!
Keith has not moved on from Country Music..obviously you kow nothing about him. His song once in a lifetime was the highest single debut in country music history and that was late last year. His latest album has already gone platinum and he has two songs in the top 20 and just released a new song last week. Get your facts straight
Perfetc couple!
Leave Nicole alone, you don’t know her!Grow up kids!
Love this couple !!!!
Dimitri, you clearly don’t know much about Keith. Get your facts straight.
Keith’s representative in Australia said THIS WEEK to the media that Keith has MOVED ON from country music.
Oh and that highest debuting album? It dropped 15 spots to #51 on the Billboard 200 this week. Not the country chart, but the regular, pop/rock CROSSOVER chart.

———————
Because Heaven knows it’s all about Nicole. It’s not KEITH that should take the credit for facing his demons. If it weren’t for Nicole, he’d just be another womanizing, drunk musician.
Keith looks like he is taking his Granny out for a walk.Maybe all the botox has paralyzed her neck muscles too and she can’t lift her head up.That’s why she is always lookg down with that snarky smirky smile on her fake lips.I wish Keith good luck and sucess with his career..As for Nicole I hope the rest of her movies have all the sucess of Fur and Bewitched.Oh almost forgot that stinker The Stepford Wifes,that only lost the studio 30 million dollars.
At least if Nicole holds her head down we won’t be able to discern that they’ve only just let her out of the cryogenic lab. That, and she’s doing some navel gazing at the navel she exposes in an attempt to feign she is not an almost middle afed woman. Keith used to look a lot happier. I still say they look beyond odd together. She’s very prim trying to fashion herself as a cool woman.

Keith Urban is NOT an “ABC.” And Nicole always had her head down…what’s up with that? Don’t say it’s b/c of the flashes…she is ALWAYS like that! and TC is psycho!
Best of Luck to Keith =)
absolutely beautiful. i wish them the best.
what can I say, just saying that at least no one’s jumping on Oprah’s expensive and lavish couch.
This couple is trying to get some quality time together enjoying a play as I understand it from CMT’s website. Although it’s not a premier, Nicole you need to look up and be respectful for your fans that do want to see your face. I for one, do not care about seeing you - but your press coverage gives me lots of pictures of Keith to look at. Just try to look like you’re enjoying yourself for a change with your husband Mr. Urban. Your famous, you should have gotten used to photographers in your face a long time ago. Keith shouldn’t have to lead you around like a lost puppy.
Keith looks good I saw some pics from 2 weeks ago and he was dressed like Tom! He looks more like himself here, And nic’s hair what’s that about , She looks better when her hairdresser take the Chi to it.
And I give Keith credit for telling the truth about nic being at best a part-time mom.
I saw the video that these photos were taken from on Extra and both Keith and Nicole looked happy and were in good spirits. Keith even said, “Thanks guys” to somebody. Couldn’t tell who. Nicole looked happy and her head wasn’t down that much. You can’t judge people by the photos the paps choose to put out there because they take hundreds of photos and use the ones that they think will cause the most controversy. Also, I don’t blame NK if she is trying to keep the paps from getting a good photo of her to sell to put money in their pockets.
so romantic nicole and keith love each other
A baby song for Keith and Nicole on you tube is very sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDz_3Hgrdfk
a must hear for any girl who wants to find the perfect man - If only there were more Keith Urbans out there…. ;(
