The Honeymoon is Over

Kidman stands by her husband's side as he checks into a rehabilitation center for alcohol abuse. "I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me," Urban says in a statement. "One can never let one's guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have." Kidman visits Urban in rehab later in the month and over the holidays he takes a short leave of absence to be with Kidman. The two are reunited when he is released from rehab in January 2007.

'I Needed to Get a Life'

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Kidman recounts her attempts to bear a child with Tom Cruise and the loneliness she felt when she won the Best Actress Oscar in 2003: "It felt big. It felt lonely and big. You're in a hotel and you're like, okay well, I'm sitting in this big suite with an Oscar, and I still don't have a life. What is wrong with me? It hit home that I needed to get a life. Who do I jump on the bed with, and celebrate with, and order pancakes with?"
