All about Nicole Kidman’s kids
Nicole Kidman: star of the silver screen and a mom off of it.
The Oscar winner is a mother of four children. She and husband Keith Urban have forged a life together since marrying in 2006. The power couple, who met in 2005, continue to juggle successful careers — she’s even joined him onstage at his concert — while expanding their own family.
Since tying the knot, they have welcomed daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Kidman also shares two kids with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor.
Earlier this year, the Kidman-Urban family attended the American Film Institute’s lifetime achievement award gala, which was held to honor Kidman as the 2024 recipient of the award.
On the red carpet, Kidman and Urban posed with Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, as well as extended family.
At the ceremony, both Meryl Streep and Urban gave touching tributes to Kidman ahead of her award acceptance.
Urban spoke about raising a family with Kidman and said “one of the most beautiful things” is getting to see his wife be a mom.
“Her and I both come from tight four member family units as well, so we try to do the same for our girls — keeping a tight little unit wherever we are,” Urban said. “We’ll make homes of film locations all over the world.”
Though Kidman and Urban tend to keep their daughters out of the public eye, Sunday and Faith have supported their mom in public before. In February 2021, Kidman, Urban and their daughters virtually attended the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards when she was nominated for “The Undoing.”
Over the years, Kidman has said on multiple occasions that she wishes that she’d had more children.
“I love, love children,” she told BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire in January 2017. “I love raising children. They make me feel good, and I love being around, and I love the ups and downs, and I love watching them grow and the things they say and teach.”
Kidman told People in January 2019 that had she met Urban before she did in 2005, they “could’ve had 10 of them!” The actor added, “But Keith says, ‘Stop the wanting mind.’ It’s far better to be completely in love and satiated with what you’ve been given, what we’ve been given.”
Though she told Marie Claire Australia that not having more children was one of her biggest regrets, she said she’s content taking on a motherly role in other ways in her life.
“I get to mother other children,” she explained. “I have six nieces and nephews, and I’m godmother to 12. I love mothering, I love kids: they’re quirky, funny and unfiltered. And then you get to see them grow and send them on their way.”
Here’s more about Nicole Kidman’s children.
Isabella Kidman Cruise, 31
During her 11-year marriage with Cruise, the couple adopted their daughter, Isabella “Bella” Kidman Cruise, as a baby.
Kidman doesn’t often discuss her previous relationship with Cruise nor the couple’s children together. She told Australia’s Who magazine in November 2018 that she is “very private” about her eldest children, adding, “I have to protect all those relationships.”
The “Big Little Lies” star added, “I know 150 percent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”
Isabella and her brother, Connor, both belong to the Church of Scientology like their father. While Kidman has no affiliation with the organization, she told the magazine that her children “are able to make their own decisions.”
“They have made choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she added. “And I am an example of that tolerance, and that’s what I believe — that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here.”
As for her personal life, Isabella has been married to Max Parker since 2015. In February 2018, she launched her own fashion brand, BKC. On her website, she sells T-shirts, pins, and tote bags along with prints.
Connor Cruise, 29
Kidman and Cruise also adopted their son, Connor Cruise, during their marriage.
Much like his older sister, he tends to keep a low profile and stays out of the public eye. He was photographed at Milan Fashion Week in February 2023.
Connor has also been photographed with his dad over the years.
He made a rare appearance with Cruise in London in October 2019. They were photographed walking toward a private helicopter, with People reporting that Cruise showed his son “aviation basics.”
The father-son duo were photographed together again in October 2021, this time in San Francisco. They attended a San Francisco Giants-Los Angeles Dodgers playoff game.
Connor briefly pursued a career as an actor and starred in two movies, 2008’s “Seven Pounds” and 2012’s “Red Dawn.” He has also performed as a DJ in the past, including at his 21st birthday.
Today, Connor isn’t very active on social media, but has posted in the past about his hobby, deep-sea fishing.
Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, 16
Kidman and Urban welcomed their daughter, Sunday Rose, on July 7, 2008.
She made her runway debut in Paris on Oct. 1, 2024, when she wore a delicate white dress and leg warmers to open the Miu Miu spring-summer 2025 fashion show.
Urban says she shares her mother’s interest in fashion.
“Yeah, she loves fashion. Yeah, they both do,” the country star said Oct. 30 on the 3rd hour of TODAY.
He also is able to contextualize seeing his daughter all grown up, especially when he looks back at old photos.
“It feels like she’s 16. It feels like it’s been 16 years, beautifully. Because I think we’re home most of the time. I haven’t missed anything. (I’m) really grateful for that,” he said.
In a backstage video interview with Vogue at the fashion show, she introduced herself as Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban.
“I’ve been wanting to do this for so long,” Sunday Rose told the magazine. “So when the offer came through, it was really exciting and now the day’s finally here.”
The teenager noted that ahead of the show she “did some shopping. Because how could you come to Paris and not shop!?” She also confessed to being “really stressed” about the Miu Miu modeling gig, but said she had since relaxed because “everyone here is really nice.”
As parents, Kidman and Urban have been protective of their daughters and seldom share their faces on social media. For Sunday’s 11th birthday in July 2019, Kidman shared a photo of her daughters from the back in front of the clock at Musee d’Orsay museum.
Kidman and Urban have shared plenty of sweet sentiments about their daughters during interviews over the years.
Kidman opened up to Glamour UK in November 2020 about how her daughters were handling periods of isolation during lockdown in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
“For a 12-year-old, it’s about not being able to access friends easily — that’s a whole thing which every parent will be going through,” Kidman explained. “And then, there’s a 9-year-old, who’s socially forming. One of the hardest things is just watching them pine and yearn for their friends. I pine and yearn for my friends too.”
Urban also opened up to TODAY’s Dylan Dreyer in September 2021 about whether his daughters were leaning toward following in the footsteps of their mom or dad more.
The country music star said it was “a bit of both” at the time, adding, “More directing than acting, which would be kind of good.”
Though their kids are still young, both Sunday and Faith made their film debut in 2019 in “The Angry Birds Movie 2.” Sunday voiced the character Lily, a yellow chick, while Faith voiced Beatrice, a purple baby bird.
Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban, 13
Kidman and Urban welcomed their second daughter, Faith Margaret, on Dec. 28, 2010.
The actor has given brief glimpses of her daughters over the years in posts on social media.
In May 2019, Kidman shared a photo hugging her daughters, though only the backs of their head were visible. In January 2021, she posted a throwback video with both of her daughters as they enjoyed time near Australia’s Uluru rock formation.
When Urban appeared on TODAY in August 2015, he shared some of his daughters’ musical abilities.
“Sunday and Faith, they have a few instruments they like to play,” he explained. “A little bit of piano and Faith, she’s got a little pink guitar that she likes to play as well. Bongos, maracas, tambourine, triangle — she’s just getting started.”
Like other celebrity parents, Kidman says her daughters help to keep her humble.
“The great equalizer is showing the Emmys to Sunny and Faith,” Kidman told TODAY in October 2017. “They don’t want them. It’s so funny. It’s such a kid thing. Sunday was like, ‘Mama, I know you said we could put in our shelf but it won’t fit. We have enough things on the shelf.’”
Kidman also opened up about how she was raising her daughters to be outspoken and strong women.
“So much is stepping aside and letting them become who they are,” said Kidman. “I don’t know if I’m teaching that as much as giving them their voices. I let them negotiate so they get a sense of who they are and what they can achieve and accomplish.”
