Distance was also not their only obstacle.
“We got married in June 2006,” Keith divided in a speech that honored Nicole at the 49th Afi Life Achievement Award Gala 2024, according to People“And almost four months into our marriage, my addictions … that I really hadn’t done anything about it, our marriage blew with blacksmiths.”
The “one too many” singer entered rehabilitation, and when he remembers he was not sure if Nicole would remain by his side.
“I had no idea what would happen to us … and if you want to see what love in action really looks like, give it a swirl,” he continued. “Nic pushed through every negative voice, I’m sure even some of her own and she chose love. And here we are tonight, 18 years later.”
In the case of Nicole – who share children Isabella Cruise32 and Connor Cruise30, with ex -husband Tom Cruise—It was love at first sight after the two met at a gala 2005 in Los Angeles.
“It was pretty intense,” shared Nicole with People In 2019. “I thought at the point that he was the love of my life.”
She added, “Maybe it’s because I’m deeply romantic, or I’m an actress, or I also have strong faith, but I just thought:” Oh, okay, here he is. “
