Nicole Kidman has finally gone public with boyfriend Keith Urban - by holding hands with him at the Grammy awards.

The screen beauty - who has never admitted she is romancing the country star despite rumours they are set to wed - made no attempt to hide her feelings at the star-studded bash.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Keith's obviously besotted with her - he kept gazing at her. They looked so happy, it was lovely to see.

"Nicole has had a bit of a rough time with her love life so it's great to see her smiling and looking so happy again."

The 38-year-old actress looked thrilled when Urban picked up the prize for Best Male Country Vocal for his song 'You'll Think Of Me'.

The source added: "When Keith got up to collect his award Nicole looked so proud of her man. She was clapping so hard and couldn't contain her excitement."

Last month, it was claimed the lovebirds are set to tie the knot in March.

Nicole, who has been spotted sporting a huge diamond ring, was even said to have told friends and family to set a day aside for the secret ceremony.
