According to People, Nicole Kidman, 57, sat down to interview Victoria Beckham for the August issue of Vogue Australia. The pair had a long discussion about careers, family, and relationships, and Nicole shared some insight.
“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,” Nicole told Victoria. “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.”
She added it’s more than just love, “If you really like the person–really love them, but really like them, too, god, it helps.”

“Compromise as well. A lot,” Nicole said. “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.”
Nicole and Keith work hard in their relationship, but the little things keep them strong.
“It’s such an unstable industry, and he’s my solace,” she added. “Every day we get up in the morning and we go for a walk–and we hold hands. We love holding hands.”
