Keith Urban shares affectionate moniker for spouse Nicole Kidman during ACM Awards 2025 triumphs
ColinUrban, the country crooner, gave fans a tender peek into his matrimonial bliss at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards. The 57-year-old star, who received the esteemed Triple Crown Award that night, affectionately called his wife, Nicole Kidman, "babygirl" during his on-stage acceptance speech.
Urban took the Texas stage to showcase his guitar skills before accepting the prestigious award. During his heartfelt speech, live-streamed on Amazon Prime Video, he mentioned his adoration for Nicole and their daughters, Sunday and Faith, watching at home. It's uncertain if Urban's pet name for Kidman, "babygirl," is a private endearment or inspired by the 2024 erotic thriller, "Babygirl," where Kidman played a transformative CEO engaging in a risky affair with her younger intern.
While the mysterious undertones of the movie weren't evident in Urban's speech, he thanked his team and label for their unwavering support. He pointed out the amazing promotional team at Capitol Records and expressed gratitude to country radio stations that played his music over the years. Prior to his speech, an all-star ensemble paid tribute to Urban, with Megan Maroney, Chris Stapleton, and Brothers Osborne performing in his honor.
While Urban's nickname for Kidman may not be linked to "Babygirl," Urban has been known to call her "Hokulani," a Hawaiian name[3]. The connection to the movie is seemingly coincidental, as Urban hasn't commented publicly about its influence on his choice of pet names.
Kelsea Ballerini, Nicole Kidman, and Lainey Wilson led the night's glamour parade, with Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson emerging as the biggest winners. Ella claimed several awards, including New Female Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year for her collaborative hit "you look like you love me" with Riley Green. Lainey Wilson follow closely behind with four wins, including Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year for her album "Whirlwind."
