Nicole and the singer, who never shy from PDA on the carpet, share daughters, Sunday Rose, 8, and Faith Margaret, 5. Keith confessed that raising his girls was a bit of a "learning curve" given his lack of experience. "I have no reference for girls," he explained. "I grew up in a house of boys, so it's quite the learning curve."

NICOLE AND KEITH'S MOST LOVED UP MOMENTS

The dad-of-two isn't the only person in the Urban-Kidman household who's learned something from a family member. In fact, the always stylish Nicole revealed that her "girly" daughters have given her fashion advice.

"I would go to the school to pick them up, and they'd be like, 'Please don't pick me up in sweatpants or jeans,'" Nicole said. "They're like, 'Can you just get dressed up and do your hair and put on makeup and wear heels?'"

She added, "They're girly-girls."

Nicole celebrated her husband's 49th birthday last month by sharing a rare photo of her dress-clad girls playing outdoors with Keith. The mom-of-four, she shares daughter Isabella and son Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise, captioned the tender photo, "You are so loved Keith Lionel. Happy birthday.
