How did Cate Blanchett meet Andrew Upton?

According to People, the couple met for the first time while Blanchett was acting in a Chekhov play. However, it wasn’t love at first sight because they didn’t like each other initially. “He thought I was aloof and I thought he was arrogant,” she told Vanity Fair in 1999. “And it just shows how wrong you can be. But once he kissed me, that was that.”
How many children does Cate Blanchett have?

The low-key twosome share four children together: Dashiell, 22, Roman, 19, Ignatius, 16, and Edith, eight, as reported by People. There are virtually no public photographs of their children – very likely by design given their private nature.
