Keith and Nicole: We're crazy in love!

Their love hasn’t just gone the distance, it’s still one truly passionate affair.

When hopelessly devoted hubby Keith Urban helps his gorgeous wife celebrate her 45th birthday in Sydney next week, there won’t be fireworks, lavish jewels or a high society party. “It will be a small and intimate family affair – sharing it with Keith and Sunday Rose and Faith is the best present,” says one close friend. “Nicole loves Keith and their two girls to bits.

“To have found such a deep love with such an incredible man, really, what more could Nicole want? She and Keith really are quite simply crazy in love with each other.” If anyone was in any doubt that Keith and Nicole share one of life’s most inspiring love stories then they need look no further than his 30-hour marathon to be at her side at Cannes.

The popular coach of The Voice dropped everything and rushed to the south of France to share in Nicole’s latest moment to shine, despite a punishing schedule of his own back home in Australia. “I’m very, very fortunate because I just, it sounds so corny, I just adore him,” gushes a still love-struck Nicole to the Sunday Herald Sun. “I just adore him. I just love him and it’s that simple. It’s going to sound so corny in print, but I’m saying it.”

Mrs Keith Urban just can’t stop smiling these days. As Australia’s best-known movie star rides a new wave of success in a career that’s already been nothing short of extraordinary, there’s an unmistakable sparkle in those famous blue eyes. And, as anyone who knows Nicole will attest, Keith, 44, can claim much of the credit for her glow. Indeed, with the intense love and support of her husband behind her at every step of the way, the mother of four is at the top of her game – personally and professionally.
