In a candid new radio interview, the country star revealed his secret to keeping the spark alive.

Speaking to 2day FM radio hosts Rove and Sam, the Fighter hitmaker confessed that a strong friendship comes first.

โ€œWe just love being together, more than anything,โ€ he said, adding, โ€œweโ€™re just like best friends.โ€

While the star admits that each individual couple shares their own recipe for success, he believes that his and Nicoleโ€™s true passion for โ€œdoing everything togetherโ€ has helped them outlive other couples such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who famously split earlier this month.

Reiterating that it really is that simple for them, the 48-year-old quips, โ€œThatโ€™s it, weโ€™re the priority and everything else comes after that.โ€

Meanwhile in a new interview with Red magazine, Nicole has reflected on her past and present relationships.

The pair share two sweet girls together.

The mother-of-four admitted that the early days of her marriage to Keith were hard work but they worked through it.

โ€œIt was really up and down for the first three months. Weโ€™ve been through a lot for ten years. And weโ€™re stronger than ever. I say that while touching wood, and no way in a boastful way. I just say it with wonder. Absolute wonderโ€ฆ When youโ€™re older, youโ€™ve been through things, youโ€™ve made mistakes,โ€ Nic told the publication.

โ€œI was so young when I got married. I look back now and Iโ€™m like, โ€˜What?โ€™ You look at Taylor Swift, I mean how old is she? Sheโ€™s 26. I had two kids by the time I was 27 and Iโ€™d been married for four years. But thatโ€™s what I wanted.โ€

Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise

Nic has opened up on her ill-fated marriage to Tom Cruise.

Reflecting on her first marriage to Tom Cruise, which ended in 2001, Nicole admits she canโ€™t believe she married so young.

โ€œI was so young when I got married. I look back now and Iโ€™m like, โ€˜What?โ€™ You look at Taylor Swift, I mean how old is she? Sheโ€™s 26. I had two kids by the time I was 27 and Iโ€™d been married for four years. But thatโ€™s what I wanted,โ€ the Aussie starlet said.

But she found her happily ever after in Keith and despite their hardships, the pair couldnโ€™t be happier to be celebrating ten years together.

Indeed, Itโ€™s hard to believe itโ€™s been ten years since Nicole and Keith wed in a moving ceremony on the stunning grounds of St Patrickโ€™s Estate in Sydneyโ€™s iconic Manly.

Since then, the power couple have welcomed two beautiful daughters Sunday Rose, eight, and Faith Margaret, six, and their fairy-tale romance only continues to soar.

โ€œItโ€™s not necessarily great for a child to have an intensely emotional mother. And I donโ€™t want to be a helicopter parent so Iโ€™m trying toโ€ฆbalance the intensity of the love. Itโ€™s really hard,โ€ Nicole mused of motherhood to Red Magazine.

Itโ€™s clear these two are still so in love!

While Nicole looks back on their time together as โ€œthe best ten years of our livesโ€, her only regret is that their paths didnโ€™t cross sooner.

โ€œI wish I could have met him much earlier and had way more children with him, but I didnโ€™t. I mean, if I could have had two more children with him that would have been just glorious,โ€ Nicole remarked.

Both Nicole and Keith cite their parentsโ€™ successful relationships as a source of inspiration in working hard at theirs.

โ€œWe are really so inspired by our parents who both celebrated 50-year wedding anniversaries,โ€ the actress told us earlier in the year.
