With homes in New South Wales, Los Angeles, Nashville and New York, the family are constantly on the move – especially when Keith is on tour.

Nicole also recently shot her latest project, Nine Perfect Strangers in Byron Bay, while Keith worked on the new season of The Voice Australia.

“We have a system worked out to keep the family together,” Nicole divulged.

“When Keith’s not touring, it’s much easier. He’ll be on tour next year, and then I just don’t work as much,” explained the Australian actress.

“Literally, it will become imbalanced, and we will change it. We don’t have the answers, but the one thing we do know is that we will not jeopardise us.”

Keith and Nicole have been married for 15 years now, and share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret who are 13 and 11.

“Sugar and spice is the key to 15 years,” Nicole told Project host Carrie Bickmore when celebrated on her recent anniversary.

She also shared that Keith had really liked her character in Nine Perfect Strangers, the heavily-accented, blonde wellness retreat owner, Masha.

“What part of Masha did Keith like so much?” Carrie asked.

“You’ll have to ask him! I think he liked the vibe!” Nicole joked.

The loved-up pair are clearly still very into each other, and posted a saucy image for the aforementioned anniversary. 

Nicole Kidman practiced method acting for her role as Masha, meaning she was Masha for the duration of filming, even when the cameras had stopped rolling for the day.

The first time Masha is seen on screen is the first time the other actors met Nicole, but she was Masha until they wrapped the show.

“I stayed in character so that I could just relate to each person in that way. Otherwise it would have felt very strange, coming in and chatting and trying to slip into Masha,” she told Variety.

“The hair of my arms stood up. It was like this force of nature walking in,” said Nicole’s co-star, Grace Van Patten.

“I automatically was like, ‘I will do anything you say’,” she explained.
