Keith Urban reveals why he almost didn't ask out Nicole Kidman
"I couldn't bring myself to call that number," he said.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are one of the most beloved couples in country music and Hollywood -- but it turns out they almost didn't even go on a first date.
Appearing on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Urban revealed that he was hesitant to pursue Kidman simply because he was "nervous."
"Literally, I was like, 'There's no way this girl is interested in me at all,'" the "Blue Ain't Your Color" singer told Clarkson. "Somebody had given me her number. I couldn't bring myself to call that number. I was nervous!"
Urban also set the record straight on reports that he wasn't interested in Kidman at first, about which Clarkson asked him.
He explained the comment was taken out of context and wasn't about how high his bar was but was instead about "how low mine was about myself."
Urban and Kidman, both 54, have been married 15 years and share two daughters, 13-year-old Sunday Rose and 10-year-old Faith Margaret.
