Nicole KidmanandKeith Urbanare serving couple goals!
The actress and the singer, both 54, posed on the red carpet at the Australian premiere ofBeing the Ricardosat the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace in Sydney on Wednesday.
Urban, with whom she shares daughters Sunday Rose, 13, and Faith Margaret, 10, kept things classic with an all-black suit.
The couple’s appearance comes after Kidman applauded her husband of 15 years for supporting her while she filmed the movie.
“He’s just very supportive. He’s in there going, ‘I believe you can do it, go for it. What do we need to do to support you?’ Which is a fantastic partner in life,” Kidman toldExtraat the film’s New York City premiere.
Being the Ricardostells the story of Ball’s life with Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem), whom she married in 1940 and split from in 1960. The pair starred in the popular 1951 sitcomI Love Lucy.
While some fans criticized the casting of Kidman and Bardem, Sorkin defended his decision and explained the film centers mostly around Ball and Arnaz themselves rather than theirI Love Lucycharacters.

“I think that the people thought that we’ve cast them as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo,” SorkintoldEntertainment Tonightin February. “The film takes place during a production week ofI Love Lucy— a Monday table read to Friday audience taping, with a whole bunch of long flashbacks which are telling the story that got us here — and because there’s a table read, there’s rehearsals and then there’s tape night, we do see moments of them being Lucy and Ricky Ricardo.”
In November, Kidman said she"studied" and “learned"Ball’s on-screen mannerisms to perfect her portrayal of the late star.

“It was my obsession to get it absolutely accurate,” she said during a Q&A following a screening of the movie. “It was [Aaron Sorkin’s] obsession to have this human being portrayed — what’s behind the creation of Lucy Ricardo and who is the woman behind this character?”
She also recalled recreating the classic grape-stomping scene from the season 5 episode “Lucy’s Italian Movie,” explaining that real grapes were used and that she would have gladly filmed longer if needed because she was having such a great time.
