Australian musician Keith Urban recalled his struggles with drugs and alcohol, which he went through, claiming that the key problem was his severe addiction, which was solved only when he married the famous actress Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two daughters. Just four months after their wedding in July 2006, the troubled singer decided to go to a drug and alcohol rehab clinic. “I had to find another way” - said Urban.
He said in 2016 that the actress intervened at one point in order for him to "deal with his demons". “I caused my new marriage to fall apart” - he said in an interview with Occasions and pointed out that his father, who died in 2015, was an alcoholic and that he “grew up living with an alcoholic, and it took him a long time to believe that their stories connected ".
In last year's interview for the Australian version of Rolling Stone magazine, Urban revealed that it took him a long time to realize he had a problem. “It took me a long time to admit my alcoholism. It took me a long time because I didn’t drink like my dad, so I compared everything to him. That's why it took me so long to figure it out. However, I was finally in a position to make the right decision in my life, which I would like my dad to make as well” - Keith admitted.
By the way, Urban was in rehabilitation twice before his marriage to the actress, but he could not get rid of alcohol or drugs from his life. Four months after the luxurious wedding where they vowed to stay together for better or worse, the famous actress decided to take matters into her own hands, and after that, the musician never returned to vices. We can see that their love is stronger than ever, after all the problems they solved successfully, together!
