Country music star Keith Urban is showing everyone that staying fit doesn't have to mean spending endless hours in the gym. With a series of exciting concerts in Las Vegas just around the corner, Keith shared how his love for performing keeps him in top shape. The thrill and energy of live shows provide him with a workout like no other.
“I love the adrenaline of a live show. It’s the ultimate workout,” Keith revealed. “I get to do two hours of solid cardio on stage. I ain’t walking into a gym to do two hours of cardio — I promise you that, like ever — but I’ll do it here effortlessly and end up in really great shape,” he joked.
At 56 years old, Keith has spent decades entertaining fans, and he credits the physical demands of his concerts to his fitness. "I've got a 10-pound plank of wood around my neck, and I'm singing," he said, referencing the weight of his guitar that he carries during his dynamic performances. He emphasizes that the combination of singing, playing, and moving around keeps him active and healthy. “There’s something about the combination of singing, playing, and moving around that really keeps me in shape,” he explained.

Behind his impressive stage presence, there’s also a strong personal support system. His wife, acclaimed actress Nicole Kidman, has been a significant source of inspiration and strength. The couple, married since 2006, has navigated the complexities of their careers while raising two daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 13. Nicole recently expressed her gratitude for Keith, saying, “I’m so lucky that I have Keith, who’s my deep, deep love.”
Their love story is often highlighted by their mutual support for each other. Nicole stated, “There’s something really freeing about knowing you’ve got a partner who’s completely got your back. He’s my home, no matter where we are.” The pair has balanced their time between the U.S. and Australia, making Nashville their home for the past 16 years.
Recently, there have been whispers about the couple's future plans, as they consider a possible move back to Los Angeles. Nicole prefers the calm lifestyle of their Australian estate, while Keith seems excited about returning to the bustling entertainment scene in California.
Adding to their busy lives, their daughter Sunday recently made her debut as a runway model at Miu Miu’s Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show. She wowed the crowd in a stunning white dress and spoke about her excitement for the opportunity. “I’ve been wanting to do this for so long. So, when the offer came through it was really exciting, and now the day is finally here,” she shared.

This residency will showcase a mix of classic hits and new songs, featuring Keith’s signature style of energetic rock and heartfelt ballads. Fans can expect to see glimpses of his love story with Nicole unfold backstage as she often cheers him on from the audience.
At 56, Keith is setting an inspiring example of how staying fit can be fun and exciting. He quipped, “I’m never going to be the guy who hits the gym every morning. But put me on a stage with a guitar, and I’ll run a marathon without even thinking about it.” His passion for performing proves that fitness can be a thrilling part of life.
