Keith keeps Nicole on her toes

Nicole has previously revealed that she loves how Keith still keeps her on her toes, telling People, "I like being asked out, which he still does. Seven nights ago we went to dinner in New York. We love Japanese food, but I'm open [to everything].

"I like not knowing where he's going to take me. Surprise me, baby!"

She also revealed her favourite song of Keith's, which is called 'Once in a Lifetime', which he released five months after their wedding.

"Keith wrote that for me when we were first getting married," she shared.
