Country hottie, Keith Urban, reveals to People magazine that true love was what truly changed his life. “There was a new feeling of loving what I did, a new joy, a new sense of purpose,” the star declared.
His marriage to Nicole Kidman had been tested by a sudden trip to rehab, but the two emerged stronger. The couple put down roots in Nashville and purchased a farm near rural Leipers Fork while he was preparing for fatherhood.
Kidman is also the inspiration behind Keith’s most soul-baring song, “Thank You,” and despite the deeply personal nature of the song, Keith had no reservations about sharing it. “It was real,” says the singer. “It didn’t divulge the sanctity of us a couple, but it expressed how i felt about my wife. It’s been a profound impact to meet somebody who offered me a life and helped me become the person I wanted to be.”
