After a rocky start to the year, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have finally found comfort in the beauty of Byron Bay in the NSW North Coast.
Last week it was revealed that the lovebirds, along with their daughters Sunday, 12 and Faith, nine, are calling a rumoured $20,000-a-week eco-estate – that boasts a housekeeper, macadamia trees and sweeping sea views – home while the 53-year-old actress films her new TV show, Nine Perfect Strangers.
Now, a source close to the famous family exclusively tells Woman’s Day that the Spanish-style property is about to serve as a stage for a vow renewal ceremony between the couple, who celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary in June.
“Nicole had barely dropped her suitcase when she was struck with the idea of doing this with Keith at the house,” says a source.
The couple celebrated their 14 year anniversary recently.

After missing her mother Janelle’s 80th birthday earlier this year, the Big Little Lies star has made no secret out of the fact she has struggled being away from her family in Australia.
“Feels so good to be able to hug my mum! It’s been 8 months. I missed her 80th birthday but I’m here now. Love you Mumma” she captioned a series of sweet snaps of them together in August.
The couple have found the ideal spot to celebrate their love.

The pair share two sons Nicholas, 10, and Alexander, eight, as well as Antonia’s children, Lucia, 22, Hamish, 19, James, 17, and Sybella, 13, from her first marriage.
With Nicole and Keith dividing their time between Nashville, Los Angeles and New York, family get-togethers with the whole brood are few and far between.
In a bid to reunite them, the source reveals Nicole is planning to mark the upcoming six-year anniversary of her father Antony’s death with the heartfelt family celebration.
The couple hope to bring the whole family to celebrate.

“At the back of Nicole’s mind is always her mum’s health worries, and she wants to put on a day for Janelle to bask in – and she loves nothing more than being surrounded by family.”
Despite being hard at work on set, Nicole is said to be using her downtime to plan the ceremony.
The stunning location is perfect for the romantic occasion.
(Image: Instagram)“She’s organising mocktails for Keith, of course, and plans to turn the stunning deck overlooking the fields and ocean into a giant dancefloor.
She wants it to be extremely intimate, so it will most likely just be her mum and sister, his mum and brother, and their nieces and nephews,” reveals the source, adding that Nicole is also making Sunday and Faith bridesmaids for the big day.
Kidman matriarch Janelle will be there.

“He’s pottering around writing a speech that he knows will be a tear-jerker,” says the source.
“Nicole and Keith are excited to create a beautiful day for their nearest and dearest – and give their marriage some much-needed TLC as well”.
