Keith Urban is featured on the cover of the magazine's current issue with the headline "I Wouldn't Be Here Without Nicole." He's about to begin another leg of his U.S. tour and release his first greatest-hits album. He's also up for entertainer, male vocalist and album of the year at Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards.

He tells People that he's finding the balance between work and family. (That makes one of us.) "I need them both," he says. "I've got to play [music] and I need to be a husband. I love it.

"I want to drive my wife to work, and I get to do that now when I go to Australia on these breaks, I get to drive her to work. I get to pick her up, and, when I can, spend time on the set and just be there. That thrills me like you have no idea."

He tells People he would love to start a family with wife Nicole Kidman. "We're not not trying to have a child. I just need to say that clearly," he says with a laugh. "At the same time, like any couple, I'm just absolutely into my wife.

"I'm totally into my wife right now and very, very full and content, and I'm not without anything. So if it comes, it comes, and if it doesn't, I'm in heaven with my wife." On Newstands Now!
