'In a career that's still very much in full flight, tonight the @americanfilminstitute will honor my wife as the newest member in this extraordinary fraternity,' he captioned a photo of Kidman.
'Babygirl – I'm so proud of you, and as much as I could come off sounding like the biased husband, I'll let the list of previous honorees do all of the talking for me,' added Urban, 56. 'What a list!'

'Receiving this award fills me with overwhelming gratitude,' she wrote at the time. 'To be the first Australian to be honoured in this way leaves me speechless.

She later shared a throwback photo of herself in one of her first movies, 1983's Bush Christmas.
