It's not often Nicole Kidman takes second billing.
But with husband Keith Urban about to claim a prime-time place on Australian TV - in Nine's new talent search series The Voice - the Oscar-winning actress has happily accepted her latest role of best supporting wife.
The family jetted in from Los Angeles yesterday to settle into Sydney life, where they plan to base themselves - on and off - for the next five months.
While Urban is bringing his family home for business, the pleasure of returning to Australia with his superstar wife and two daughters, Sunday and Faith, was written all over the singer's face.
And he has already told of his enthusiasm for Sydney.
"It will be good for all of us," Urban told The Daily Telegraph at the time of signing on to the reality series.
A blonder, relaxed-looking Kidman, clutching one-year-old Faith, is expected to fit right in to the Harbour City. She will be a judge at Sunday's Tropfest short film festival, then head back to Hollywood for the Oscars.
The 44-year-old is in hot demand, returning to the US later this month to promote her much-touted new HBO mini-series, Hemingway And Gellhorn (starring opposite Clive Owen), with two films, Stoker and The Paperboy, also ready for release.
Urban is expected to join fellow celebrity "coaches" Delta Goodrem, Seal and Joel Madden on set for The Voice from Monday, when filming of the show's blind auditions begin.
With Australia's Got Talent also canvassing for contestants around the country now, it is thought Channel 7 will back its top-rating series in the same timeslot against Nine's mega-watt newcomer.
