Things changed after the two kissed during a game of poker, and they were engaged three weeks later. The proposal came after Blanchett tried and failed to cook dinner for Upton, as she recounted to Ellen DeGeneres in 2015 (via the Daily Mail).
"I cooked him the worst meal. I somehow decided that to stuff a trout with walnuts and goat's cheese would be a good idea," she told DeGeneres. "'He ate it and then he asked me to marry him so clearly he was I don't know hallucinating. He realized I couldn't cook" (via the Daily Mail).
The couple tied the knot in 1997 and share four children, according to E! Online. Blanchett and Upton, who is a playwright, also collaborate professionally. Together they own the production company, Dirty Films, and they both serve as artistic directors and CEOs of the Sydney Theatre Company.
"It's been a great creative partnership with my husband and also a great love affair," Blanchett told the outlet in 2015. "Working together, running a creative company in Australia. It's been fantastic" (via E! Online).
