Nicole Kidman Talks ‘Spontaneous’ Decision To Marry Husband Keith Urban After Dating For Only A Month

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been married for eight years but their romance certainly started out as a whirlwind.

In the January issue of Elle magazine, which features Kidman on the cover, the "Paddington Bear" actress talks about marrying Urban after just one month of dating. While the short courtship may seem rushed to some, Kidman claims tying the knot so quickly felt "natural."

"I'm spontaneous. I jump in," Kidman told the mag. "I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other; I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it's a more natural process."

The couple now appears more committed than ever. They share two daughters, 6-year-old Sunday Rose and 4-year-old Faith Margaret, as well as Kidman's 22-year-old daughter Isabella Jane and 19-year-old son Connor Anthony from the actress's former marriage to Tom Cruise.

One of Kidman's closest friends, singer Sheryl Crow, told Elle why the public might find it surprising that the Academy Award winning actress is actually as "spontaneous" as she says she is.  

"I think that she has been very poised throughout her public life, and sometimes people will misconstrue that; they see her as being an ice queen," said Crow on the subject of Kidman.

"The kind of scrutiny she's been subjected to can't be comfortable, and she's dealt with it by being very careful-that's what gives people the wrong idea," added the singer. "She's not someone we're going to see out paddle-boarding in a G-string; she doesn't set up situations where she's playing to the paparazzi. She's more old-school than that. She's not that kind of movie star."
