Hollywood hardman Russell Crowe insists his friend Nicole Kidman is smitten with country singer Keith Urban.
The Moulin Rouge actress and New Zealand-born Urban reportedly got engaged over the US Thanksgiving weekend in Nashville, Tennessee, where they celebrated the holiday with both sets of parents.
He says: "I've spoken to Nicole a couple of times recently and it was clear she's enjoying great happiness right now.
"Hanging out with Keith is giving her a lot of joy and I'm happy for her."
But Crowe is concerned the media frenzy surrounding the 38-year-olds' relationship could bring it to a premature end, something he experienced with his Proof Of Life co-star Meg Ryan in 2000.
He adds: "A relationship under that microscope doesn't get the chance to evolve.
"It happened to me some years back. My summer was ruined as we were never left alone."
