As celebrities get older, they tend to get more family-minded.  And that’s the case for Keith Urban.  The 39-year-old Aussie country rocker has conquered the American country music world and now his sights are on makin’ babies!

“I’m really looking forward to becoming a dad. Next year actually would be lovely,” Urban told AP reporters.  The reason for a 2008 baby is probably the couple’s insane schedule. Nicole Kidman is currently shooting a new film in Australia (also titled Australia), while Keith remains in the US touring non-stop.  “I tour for two weeks then fly to Sydney for a week, then go back on the road. It’s not really too hard going back and forth. Its either that or I don’t tour this year. It’s what I do.”

The couple has been lucky enough to have some time together while they were both in Australia earlier this month.  “I’ve had a good long run of being at home, particularly in Sydney with my wife. We have breakfast in the morning, then she will go to work and we’ll have dinner in the evening. It’s a beautiful place.”

Both native Australians, Keith and Nicole were married last year and have endured the whirlwind that comes with both being mega celebrities.  Through grueling filming schedules, touring, and Keith’s stint in rehab, they have weathered their fair share of storms.  “When you meet somebody and you fall in love, then you do what it takes to stay together.”
