Nicole Kidman was reunited with her husband Keith Urban in romantic scenes as she arrived in Los Angeles yesterday. The actress, celebrating her 43rd birthday, and daughter Sunday Rose were returning from a trip to visit Nicole's family in Australia. They were greeted at the airport by an obviously delighted Urban, who kissed them both hello.

Ushering them away from the cameras, the smiling singer put a protective arm around his wife, who had been helping her only sister Antonia celebrate her second marriage. Country star Urban was prevented from joining them as he had to perform at gigs including.

The CMA Music Festival in Nashville. The family were reunited after a week apart, in time to celebrate both Nicole's borthday and Father's Day. Last week Nicole was in Australia to help her only sister Antonia celebrate her wedding to banker Craig Marran.

A well-known TV presenter in Australia, mother-of-four Antonia has relocated to live with Marran in Singapore. But she returned to Sydney to celebrate her new life with her parents and older sister, who flew in from Nashville for the occasion.
