When it's right, it's right.

Cate Blanchett spilled the dirt on her 18-year marriage with husband Andrew Upton, including their approximately 21-day courtship, during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres Tuesday. And while telling their origin story, Blanchett revealed a particularly juicy detail. 

"After three days he turned to me, we were in bed, as you are after three days," Blanchett began. "He said 'Cate,' and I thought, s--t, he's gonna ask me to marry him and I'm gonna have to say yes and then he said, 'No, I'm hungry. Do you want to go get something to eat?' But then he asked me after about 21 days and I said yes."

Talk about whirlwind romance! Blanchett admitted that the duo didn't even like each other when they first met, but after some alcohol, gambling, tattoos, and canoodling between the sheets, they decided they did in fact like each other. But what techniques did the Oscar winner use to woo her beau all the way to the aisle?

"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," Blanchett admitted. "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."

Just like DeGeneres noted during the show, it seems as though getting to a man's heart through his stomach isn't always the case. 

"No, you give them food poisoning, they're delirious and then you've got them," Blanchett revealed. Breaking news! We have discovered the secret!

Later on in the segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show during a round of the game "Five Second Rule," Blanchett revealed even more juicy details about her love life—particularly when it comes when it comes to the contents of her nightstand.

"Toothpaste, tampons and condoms," the 46-year-old actress confirmed when she had to name three items. 

There's only one thing we can really say to that: All hail the queen!
