Keith Urban goes the distance for Nicole Kidman

Singer jets back to LA for romantic date with wife

Keith Urban will go halfway around the world for Nicole Kidman – literally.

After wrapping a weeklong promotional tour in Australia for his new CD, Urban flew to Los Angeles to take his wife out for an afternoon at the theater.

The pair, both 39, attended the opening of the comedy Distracted starring Rita Wilson at the Mark Taper Forum, where the duo kissed and hugged throughout the show.

Also in the audience were Wilson's husband Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg with his wife Kate Capshaw.

Just three months shy of their first anniversary, Urban and Kidman are still in the honeymoon stage. After Urban completed his 90-day stint in rehab at the Betty Ford Center in January, the couple hit the awards season party circuit and stole away to St. Bart's for a romantic vacation.

Now the native Aussies each have busy work schedules ahead of them, but Urban said they also have their sights on settling down in Sydney. "This year is the start of us spending a lot more time (in Australia)," Urban told Sydney radio station Nova 969 on March 20. "It's great we both have family here and are getting to the point where we have more ability to come back more often."

Aside from plans to celebrate Easter together Down Under, Kidman will spend the next six months filming the Baz Luhrman project Australia opposite Hugh Jackman. Urban, who kicks off his Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour on April 19 in Germany, will join Kidman in May when he brings his tour to his native country before going to the U.S. in June.
