To most people, winning an Oscar would be a dream come true.

According to People, the pair now reside on a beautiful farm outside Nashville with their daughter, Sunday Rose. “I like to ask people if they would rather have a great love that lasts a lifetime or an amazing career where you go down in history,” Kidman says. “Some people do answer that they want an extraordinary career.” But Kidman and Aniston agree that great love is a “no-brainer.”
