There’s something oddly satisfying about watching a Hollywood love story that doesn’t crash and burn like a B-list action movie. If we are being honest, most celebrity marriages have the shelf life of a banana in July. So when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban not only survived the media meat grinder but managed to build a marriage that’s still intact after over 15 years, we had to stop and ask: what sorcery is this?

Their story? It’s not some sappy fairytale that floated out of a Nicholas Sparks novel. No, this one has got rehab, rebounds, and red carpets. They met in 2005, both emotionally half-melted candles from past flames, yet somehow they sparked. “We were a mixture of frightened and brave,” Kidman, who faced Hollywood’s cold shoulder after her divorce from Tom Cruise, once told Vanity Fair.

And boy, she wasn’t just playing with poetic license.
