Nicole Kidman saved Keith Urban from drug addiction early on in their marriage. Keith and Nicole have one of those seemingly fragile Hollywood unions that for some reason always seems on the brink of collapse.

Perhaps that’s why the couple decided to go on Oprah and gush about one another. For starters, Keith thanks Nicole for easing him out of drug addiction, and forcing him into rehab.

“It was really a profound moment in so many ways. Then, the way in which Nic handled that moment was just perfect,” Keith says. “Everything was just designed, I believe, for that moment to fuse us together.”At first, Keith says he questioned whether he should go to rehab so soon after getting married. “[I thought], ‘Surely let’s give it a few years so we’ve got some solidity, because this kind of thing could tear us apart,’” Keith says. “‘This could just destroy us.’”

Ultimately, he decided it was time to get help. Keith left the same night as the intervention for treatment. “I just said, ‘I don’t want to do anything but go,’” he says. “I didn’t care about anything else.”

The two continue on the lovefest with a love letter that Keith shares to his wife and the studio audience. Aw.
