BEIJING, Nov. 14 -- Actress Nicole Kidman, 39, and her husband of four months, country singer Keith Urban, took a stroll outside of the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs on Nov. 12.

    Urban has been in an in-patient rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse since checking himself into the center on October 19. Kidman also dropped by on November 5 for a two hour visit.

    The following day Urban won the best male vocalist trophy at the Country Music Association Awards. When Urban's name was announced, he received a standing ovation, and pal Ronnie Dunn (of the band Brooks & Dunn) read a letter from Urban in which he thanked his friends and family. "I'm pained not being there with you all tonight," the letter read. "To my wife, Nicole, I love you."

    Urban, 39, is expected to be in rehab for 35 to 40 days.

    This is not Urban's first stint in rehab. In 1998, the singer checked into the Cumberland Heights treatment center in Nashville, Tennessee, seeking treatment for cocaine and alcohol addiction.
