Hollywood marriages are notorious for failing – but not all A-list unions crumple at the first sign of drama, proving soulmates do exist! Nicole Kidman has revealed the secret to her long marriage to country crooner Keith Urban involves a ban on texting. And the Aussie actress isn’t the only star to swear by some simple – yet effective – little rules.
Here, we celebrate Tinseltown’s golden couples and how they’ve managed to keep things together for years, staying true to their promise ‘for better, for worse’.
MARRIED 13 YEARS
NICOLE KIDMAN & KEITH URBAN
‘We’ve never texted. We talk all the time and we FaceTime, but we just don’t text. I feel like texting can be misrepresentative at times,’ says Nicole, 52, of how she and the singer, 51, stay connected, even through all their rumoured bad patches. ‘I’ve had the thing where I re-read texts and I’m like, “What does that mean?” and then read it to somebody and go, “Can you interpret that?” I don’t want that between my lover and I. We just do voice-to-voice or skin-to-skin, as we always say.’
MARRIED 21 YEARS
CINDY CRAWFORD & RANDE GERBER
‘I make my husband a priority and don’t take things for granted,’ reveals former supermodel Cindy, who had a four-year marriage to actor Richard Gere in the ’90s. The 53-year-old mother-of-two believes prioritising her family has helped her second marriage be a lasting one. ‘If I’m away for three days, then I make sure I’m around the next week,’ Cindy reveals. ‘I find the balance so we can make it work.’
