Keith's mom likes Nicole... so what's next?

Wedding rumors have surrounded for some time between the Aussie Power Couple ™ Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman. They only intensified when the couple was spotted out in Boston and Nic had what appeared to be an engagement ring on her left wedding ring finger. And the final test would be Mom - right? If that's the case this much anticipated, (and much denied) relationship may be headed for wedding bells. Star Magazine reports that Keith Urban introduced his mother Marienne to the striking Australian blonde and his mum seemed to approve. That's probably even more important in this case as Marienne lives near Keith in Nashville, and runs several of the marketing businesses for the never married country hunk. Mom and Nicole apparently got to know each other in Boston (where the picture was snapped) and then in New York City where Keith played two shows before grabbing the highly-coveted 'Entertainer of the Year' award at this year's CMA's earlier this month. Friends may be harder to convince though, the article speculates. Many think she may just be trying to beat ex-hubby Tom Cruise to the altar. Keith reportedly asked her that question point blank according to a source. Nic's response, "No Way!" [National Ledger]
