Kidman is sentimental about their relationship in other ways, too: her favorite song is “Once in a Lifetime”, which Urban released five months after the pair wed in 2006.

And, despite all of her impressive professional accolades, Kidman says she still loves to earn a little extra credit where it matters: with her girls.

“I’m taking my youngest to Dollywood tomorrow,” she says. “That’s mom points, right? We’re all hugeDollyfans, and Dollywood is so fun at this time of year.”
