Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have been a Hollywood “it” couple for many years, and recently, she opened up about the greatest relationship advice she’s ever received.
In a recent interview for Vogue Australia, Nicole Kidman sat down with singer and fashion mogul Victoria Beckham. Their conversation covered various topics, eventually focusing on their long-lasting marriages and the advice they’ve relied on over the years to maintain a loving relationship.
“The greatest advice I was given was there’s the individual— so there’s the me and the you— and there’s the we. And that’s only you,” Kidman told Beckham.
“No one else has what you two create, or what Keith and I create, any married couple who are partners, any people who have chosen to be in a relationship together, we create this, so we decide what this is.”
“If you really like the person…really love them, but really like them, too, god it helps,” she added.

Agreeing with what Kidman shared, Beckham then asked, “Isn’t it great that someone supports us and lets us do what we love?”
“Compromise as well. A lot,” Kidman responded. “It’s always trial and error, and sometimes it’s imbalanced and then it gets back in balance. We don’t gloat about it. People always ask, ‘What’s your marriage advice?’ We don’t have any! Everyone does their own thing and creates it. I’m not some relationship guru. I’m just trying to find my own way.”
Kidman also revealed that despite the challenges that the entertainment industry can bring to relationships, they always make time for each other, including their adorable morning routine.
“It’s such an unstable industry and he’s my solace,” she said. “Every day we get up in the morning and we go for a walk–and we hold hands. We love holding hands.”
