They are also the Sydney Theatre Company's CEOs and artistic directors. According to Blanchett, their professional relationship is fantastic and a great love affair.

While their relationship has been going strong for the past two decades, it wasn't love at first sight when they met in 1996. "He thought I was aloof, and I thought he was arrogant," Cate admitted on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2013. 

"We just didn't really connect, and we were going out with other people with whom we're still friends, and it was always an issue when the four of us went out that Andrew and I had something going on."

"I somehow decided that stuffing a trout with walnuts and goat's cheese would be a good idea, and I cooked him the worst meal," she admitted to Ellen DeGeneres in 2015. "He did eat it, and then he asked me to marry him so obviously he was, I don't know, hallucinating, he realized I couldn't cook."

Blanchett revealed that one character in the book, Professor Pee-Pee Poopypants, stood out to her during her third pregnancy, prompting her to consider naming her next child.

"I was eight months pregnant and imagining things," Blanchett explained, "and there's a section in the book where he gets so upset that everyone teases him because his name is Professor Pee-Pee Poopypants that he forces everyone to change their names." 

"They have this internal code, and they give these name examples. You descend to the letter 'I,' and the example is Ignatius. It was as if the Virgin Mary had gone 'Boom!'"

"There are a lot of children out there who don't have the good fortune that our biological children do, so it's wonderful to welcome a little girl into our fold - we're besotted," Cate also told Australian outlet Sky News, according to Today's Parent.
