Keith Urban is set to grace the ACM Awards stage on Thursday evening to perform his hit tune Texas Time.
And while his music is continuing to impress audiences across the world, it's his home life that he is most proud of.
The judge of The Voice USA admitted it's not always easy to juggle his personal life and his work commitments.
However, he revealed how he and wife Nicole Kidman manage to keep their relationship staying strong after almost 18 years of marriage.
"It’s always family first," he admitted in an open confession.

"It's balanced, so it means it goes out of balance sometimes, and we just put it back in balance. It's never perfectly in balance, but we get it back on track."

Fans were full of praise online to his comments, with one user labelling him "such a gracious man".
Keith made the revelation during a chat with Fox News ahead of his big performance at this year's Academy of Country Music Awards.
The 58th annual edition of the event is taking place in Frisco, Texas, and will be hosted by Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.
Keith is among the stars-studded list of performers taking to the stage. And he revealed his eagerly awaited performance will feature something very special to him.
He continued: "So the guitar I have is a 1950 Fender Broadcaster, leather-bound, that used to belong to Waylon Jennings. He had it all through the 70s and 80s.
The duo have been married since 2006 (AFP/Getty Images)"I ended up getting that guitar from my wife because I'm a huge Waylon fan, and this is the perfect place to bring that guitar out and play."
Other performers on the night include Ed Sheeran and Keith can't wait to see the event unfold.
"There's so many collabs this year which is really cool," he gushed. "Martina McBride is going to be playing with Carly Pearce I think and Trisha is going to be performing as well. It's a lot. I mean just seeing Dolly and Garth host, it's going to be insane."
Brit musician Ed, 32, is set to play his song Life Goes On from his album titled Subtract.

He admits that while his music isn't necessarily fitting within the genre, there isn't a better place for him to play.,
"Nashville is obviously the home of country music, but it is obviously also now the songwriting hub where all songwriters, [regardless of genre], are heading to because [the creativity I've inspired] has [even more] made it a fantastic place to be a songwriter," he admitted.
