“Hi baby, right in the front row,” a cheerful Keith said, gesturing towards his 51-year-old wife.

It seems Nicole truly stole the show in many ways throughout that night.

Red carpet PDA

Earlier in the night, Nicole and Keith posed for some cosy photos holding hands and wrapping their arms around each other, before stopping to speak to fans on the red carpet.

The actress dazzled in a fringed top and gold trousers which she accessorised with a blinged out clutch and diamond earrings.

Her long hair was tied back in a ponytail and she kept her makeup simple with smokey eyes and a nude lip.
