Nicole Kidman's latest venture is taking shape as a heartwarming family saga. The Oscar-clad actress has embarked on the process to become a resident of Portugal, as revealed by E! News. Notably absent from the application documents was her spouse of 19 years, Keith Urban, yet he fully intends to join Nicole in this international relocation. A well-informed source shared with E! on July 24, "Keith couldn't be in Portugal for the appointment due to his ongoing tour in the United States. It's imperative for applicants to be physically present to file for the visa. He's planning to submit his application at a later date that aligns with his tour commitments."
However, this European nation isn't set to become their permanent abode. The source further elaborated, "Though Nicole and Keith own a property in Portugal, their primary home will remain in Nashville."
Indeed, Nicole, 58, and Keith, 57, are no strangers to life beyond Hollywood's glittering facade. The 'Big Little Lies' star has previously opened up about how raising their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, in Tennessee holds a deeply sacred place in her heart. In a 2019 interview with People, Nicole reminisced, "My roots are deeply entrenched here in Nashville. Our house is often bustling with children. Sometimes, we host eight kids for dinner after school. I'm immensely grateful."
Moreover, Nicole, who also shares Isabella, 32, and Connor, 29, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, attributes the strength of her enduring marriage with Keith to their solid foundation in Nashville, where they've resided since Sunday's birth in 2008. She explained, "Real love manifests not when everything is roses but when challenges arise. It's when people come together in a profound way, having to work as a team. The essence of love lies in being 'together'."
