Nicole Kidman?s Hubbie Joins her for Christmas

Nicole Kidman and her husband, country singer, Keith Urban, were reunited briefly over the holiday season. Urban left the rehabilitation center where he is being treated for alcohol addiction since October. His New York-based spokesman denied that Urban has left the treatment center permanently and said that he is simply enjoying a brief respite before returning after the holidays.

In June 2006, Kidman and Urban, both 39, married in the former?s hometown of Sydney, Australia. Urban was also raised in Australia and the two have extended family Down Under. After their wedding, the couple moved to Nashville, Tennessee where Urban regularly records his music. In October, with Kidman at his side, the singer checked himself into a rehabilitation center. "One can never let one`s guard down on recovery, and I`m afraid that I have,? Urban was quoted as saying upon his admission to the center.

Nicole Kidman, although based in the United States to be near her husband and her two children whom she adopted while married to her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, has been in Australia since Christmas where she is filming a movie. The star won an Oscar in 2002 for her role in the movie, ?The Hours?. Keith Urban has won a Grammy award for his music and is considered one of the most popular country singers in the United States.
