When People asked Hugh and Deborra at the National Night of Laughter and Song event what keeps them together, he revealed they meditate together.

“…Sometimes we have friends over to do it, too. It’s a lovely Sunday-morning thing. Everyone comes over, and then we have breakfast,” Deborra added.

Hugh and Deborra aren't the only celebs known for their devotion to meditation. Gwyneth Paltrow encourages people to try yoga nidra meditation before bed. According to US Weekly, Kendall Jenner meditates to control her anxiety. And per People, Gisele Bündchen practices transcendental meditation.

If you’ve never tried it, consider giving meditation a shot—alone or ask your partner to participate, too. According to one 2017 study in JAMA Psychiatry, when two people practiced meditation-type exercises together, they reported a greater sense of social connection and less loneliness.

And the benefits don't stop there: A little zen time can relieve stress in such a way that it not only improves your mood sans meds, but your skin, too. Derms even report their patients see fewer fine lines and wrinkles, and a healthy glow after sticking to a practice.

If you don't know where to begin, start with a meditation app, like 10% Happier’s Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics or Headspace.
