Nicole Kidman has paid tribute to her husband Keith Urban, calling him her 'rock' and saying he has similar attributes as her late father, Dr. Antony Kidman.
The Oscar winner has been in mourning since her beloved Dad passed away in Singapore last month, aged 75.
The 47-year-old says the love and support from Keith, her husband of eight years, has helped her pick up the pieces.

“It's a devastating thing for my family and myself right now. I'm lucky to have a rock of a husband and a strong faith. I have both those things,” she revealed in a moving interview with the Today Show.
Describing how Keith reminds her of her father, she added, "[By] being a good man and choosing to protect his family and take care of his kids. And walk the walk, if that makes sense, not just walk the talk.”
The actress has been keeping up professional appearances in recent weeks, promoting her new film, psychological thriller, Before I Go to Sleep.

Nic also opened up last week about her life away from the spotlight, and the home she shares in Nashville Keith and their daughters Sunday Rose, six, and Faith, three.
“I have a very quiet life there with my children and my husband and I love to go running, I love swimming. I love sport. I play golf," she said.
“I've had a long career now and I know what's important.”
