Details You Didn't Know About Keith Urban

Keith Urban has a lot going for him physically, including a bit of bad-boy edge brought on by the seven tattoos covering his upper body. One tattoo in particular, which encircles his right wrist, tells an interesting story. Although Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have been married since 2006 and their relationship continues to be just about the sweetest thing ever, Urban has a romantic history with another famous beauty that many don't know about. Way back, circa 2002, Keith Urban dated supermodel Niki Taylor and the two were evidently so smitten with each other, they got matching tattoos saying "Amor Vincit Omnia" — the Latin for "love conquers all."

The sentiment didn't hold true for long, though. The two split up in 2004 and although Yahoo! reported Taylor had her tattoo removed, Urban chose to flip the script by covering up his ink with a romantic tribute to wife Nicole. The Boot reveals that the tribal-style tattoo covering up the previous inscription on Urban's wrist contains the initials "NMK" for Nicole Mary Kidman. Awww. We hope this one is here to stay. Urban has a second tattoo dedicated to his wife on his right bicep, but not all of Urban's ink is inspired by love. His left arm carries a phoenix tattoo, which he says symbolizes the phoenix that succumbs to challenge but rises from the ashes stronger than before. It's possible this image was inspired by Keith's little-known struggle with addiction.
