This was to be one of the beautiful moments of her year 2024 and ultimately, Nicole Kidman's appearance at the Venice Film Festival turned into a tragedy. After her hasty departure, she spoke about her mother, Janelle, who died while she was in Italy. “I'm in shock and I have to go see my family. But this award is for her. She shaped me, she guided me and she made me. The collision between life and art is heartbreaking and my heart is broken”confided the 57-year-old actress, who was able to count on her husband, Keith Urban and their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, to overcome this tragedy, she who already lost her father in 2014.
If she is very close to her two daughters, Nicole Kidman is quite discreet about her family life, even if in the summer of 2023, she made rare confidences about her children, categorical about her career choices and which influence her choices of actress. “When I have to choose a project, if they don't agree, I don't go for it. At this point in my life, my choices depend entirely on my family and the impact they will have on them”she explained. If she readily talks about the girls she had with the Australian singer, the actress is much less talkative when it comes to talking about the boy and the girl she had when she was married to Tom Cruise. Together, the two Hollywood stars decided to adopt a daughter, Isabella, born in 1992 and a boy named Connor, born in 1995.
The death of his mother was the trigger

A loss that “his a made me want to stop taking time“ with her own children. “Nicole has been quietly working towards this for a very long time. She tried to arrange a meeting in the UK [où Bella vit] last year, but it didn't work”explains a source to the Australian media.
For their part, Connor Cruise and Bella Kidman Cruise would have sent a letter to their adoptive mother after the death of their grandmother. “She hadn't heard from her in a very long time. It's a little sad that it took such a tragic moment for them to come back into her life, but she knows it would make her mother very happy if her death brought his grandchildren back into the family”confides a close friend of Nicole Kidman to the media Woman's Day.
