Nicole Kidman is one of the most well-known and respected actresses in Hollywood, yet she remains fiercely protective of her private life — especially when it comes to her children. The Oscar-winning star is a mother of four: two adopted children from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise, and two daughters with her current husband, country singer Keith Urban. Despite their famous parents, all four children have largely stayed out of the spotlight, which is why recent public appearances — especially by her youngest daughters — have generated significant public interest.
Nicole’s Family: A Quick Overview
Kidman first became a mother during her marriage to actor Tom Cruise. The couple adopted two children: Isabella Jane (Bella), born in 1992, and Connor Anthony, born in 1995. After her divorce from Cruise in 2001, both children reportedly stayed primarily with their father and were raised in the Church of Scientology. As adults, Bella and Connor have led lives far from the Hollywood spotlight. Bella now lives in London and works as an artist, while Connor lives in Florida and enjoys a more private lifestyle, including fishing and occasionally DJing.
Nicole has rarely spoken publicly about Bella and Connor, but she has expressed her unconditional love for them, saying in interviews that being a mother is her greatest joy — regardless of any differences in belief or lifestyle. Despite their distance from the public eye and their limited association with Nicole in media appearances, they remain part of her story as a devoted mother.

Nicole and Keith: Raising Sunday and Faith
After marrying Keith Urban in 2006, Kidman had two daughters: Sunday Rose, born in 2008, and Faith Margaret, born via surrogate in 2010. Unlike Bella and Connor, Sunday and Faith have been raised largely out of the public eye but within Nicole’s full-time care. The couple resides in both Nashville and Australia, giving their daughters a quieter upbringing away from the pressures of Hollywood.
Recently, however, fans have been surprised and delighted to see Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret appearing with their parents at public events. These rare appearances have stirred headlines, with particular focus on how much the girls have grown up and how much they resemble their famous parents — especially their father.

“Keith Urban’s Copy”: Sunday Rose Turns Heads
In June 2024, Nicole Kidman was honored with the prestigious AFI Life Achievement Award, and she brought her family along for the celebration. Photos from the red carpet quickly went viral, with many fans doing a double take after seeing Sunday Rose. Now a teenager, Sunday was praised for her elegance and maturity beyond her years. Many were quick to comment that she is the “spitting image” of her father, Keith Urban — from her wavy blonde hair to her facial features and poise.
Social media buzzed with comments like:
“She looks so much older than 16!”
“Keith Urban’s twin!”
“Nicole and Keith really raised a classy young lady.”
These public reactions highlight how Sunday’s appearance marked a milestone moment — not just for fans, but for Nicole herself, who rarely shares her family with the world.
Faith Margaret: Following in Her Mother’s Footsteps?
Nicole’s younger daughter, Faith Margaret, also joined the family for the glamorous event. While she is slightly younger than Sunday, many noted how poised and graceful she appeared alongside her mother. Faith has also expressed interest in the arts. In fact, both Sunday and Faith have reportedly done voice work and even acted in small roles, including cameo appearances in Nicole’s HBO series Big Little Lies. However, Nicole has made it clear that she doesn’t push her daughters into show business and wants them to choose their own paths.
In a past interview, Kidman said:
“We’re a very tight-knit family. We spend as much time together as possible. That’s what matters most to me.”
The Power of Privacy
Despite their celebrity status, Nicole and Keith have done an admirable job of keeping their daughters grounded. The recent red carpet photos were special precisely because they were rare. Kidman has always emphasized that while she loves acting, her greatest role is that of a mother — and it shows in how lovingly she speaks about her children.
With Sunday and Faith stepping more into the public eye, fans are curious to see whether they’ll pursue careers in entertainment like their parents — or forge their own unique paths. Regardless, one thing is clear: they’ve grown into thoughtful, beautiful young women who are making their mark in their own time, on their own terms.
