Oz couple jet off to secret spot after wedding

AUSTRALIA’S hottest celebrity couple, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, jetted out of Sydney yesterday, likely bound for a secluded honeymoon getaway on the golden sands of the South Pacific.

The Oscar-winning actress exchanged vows with the Grammy award-winning country music star in a tearful, candlelit ceremony overlooking the Pacific late yesterday.

The newlyweds kept a low-profile yesterday, emerging only to have lunch with family at a luxury waterfront hotel.

Kidman, 39, appeared relaxed in a black and white dress topped with a black cardigan, while the 38-year-old country music superstar wore jeans and a light blue T-shirt.

The pair were spotted boarding Kidman’s private jet on Monday evening, prompting frenzied media speculation about where they might spend their honeymoon.

Kidman and Urban have been tight-lipped about their immediate post-wedding plans, but local media have widely tipped either Fiji or Tahiti as the most likely destinations.

Several reports have suggested the pair have spent up to AU$250,000 (€145,000) to hire out Fiji’s exclusive Wakaya Club Resort for a week.

The ultra-exclusive island resort is a preferred destination for superstars seeking to avoid the prying eyes of paparazzi and celebrity gawkers.

It is also where Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards injured his head after reportedly falling out of a palm tree in April.

However, Fiji was once a favoured vacation spot for Kidman and her former husband, Tom Cruise, prompting speculation that she and Urban will opt instead for a luxury resort on Tahiti’s Bora Bora island.

Kidman, who was born in Hawaii to Australian parents, exchanged vows with Urban, who was born in New Zealand but raised in rural Queensland state, by the light of bout 1,000 candles at a small chapel overlooking Sydney’s iconic Manly beach.
