Keith and Nicole have been married for more than a decade, after finding love way back in 2005.

But while their marriage has withstood the test of time, the actress admitted it hasn’t always been plain sailing during a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

The actress’ marital revelations came as she discussed her latest movie, The Destroyer, which the Moulin Rouge star admitted was one her most challenging roles to date.

She told Graham: ‘It’s really a tough, gritty film, which is something I’d never done and I am always looking for new territory to explore.

‘And, when you are cast to play the older character you don’t usually get to play the younger, but a great thing as an actor is when you get to play both. It was a gift to be able to arc out the whole story for the character.’ 

Nicole candidly confessed that tapping into the dark mindset of her character Erin Bell had a negative impact on her marriage to Keith, who was eager for the star to wrap up filming on the thriller.

Branding herself a ‘nightmare’, she explained: ‘My husband was like, “When is this going to end?” As an actor, you take on things and some you can shed and walk away from and others you can’t.

‘The character had to seep out of my pores and I didn’t know how to perform that, so I just had to live it. I was a bit of a nightmare!’

It isn’t the first time Nicole has boldly detailed her relationship woes of late, as she recently told Stylist that she felt ‘lonely’ after splitting from Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise, who filed for divorced from the Australian actress in 2001.

Admitting she actively sought a partner after the split and made a conscious effort to ensure her work schedule wouldn’t hinder her chances of finding love.

The Oscar-winning actress said: ‘I was very lonely and I didn’t want to be. So I went, “OK, I’m going to try and meet my partner”, and that takes time.”

‘It can’t be working all the time and flitting around the world.’

It wasn’t until a few years after the split that Nicole managed to find her soulmate in husband Keith, who she met at the 2005 G’Day USA gala, which honours Australians living in Los Angeles.

Nicole previously admitted that she felt ready to marry the country singer, who hails from New Zealand, after just a month of dating, but the pair waited until the following year before tying the knot.

The couple later welcomed daughter Sunday, 10, and Faith, seven. Nicole also adopted son Connor, 23, and daughter Isabella, 25, during her marriage to Tom.
