Nicole Kidman's four kids: What are they up to now? (2024)

Nicole Kidman is showing no signs of slowing down.

From Nine Perfect Strangers to The Undoing, the award-winning Australian actress is far from taking her foot off the pedal. But with fame, comes a family life that has played out in the public eye.

When Kidman married Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise, they adopted two children: Daughter Bella, now 30, and son Connor, now 28.

"He swept me off my feet. I fell madly, passionately in love. And as happens, my whole plan in terms of what I wanted for my life, I was like, 'Forget it. This is it.' I was consumed by it, willingly," Kidman told The Sun in 2019.

However, the couple split in 2001, and the kids maintained a closer bond with Cruise and their belief in Scientology.

In 2006, Kidman married country singer Keith Urban and the couple welcomed two daughters: Sunday, 14, and Faith, 12. The same year, Cruise married Katie Holmes, who he shares 17-year-old daughter Suri Cruise with.

While Kidman has a close bond with Sunday and Faith – and frequently mentions them in acceptance speeches and interviews – she doesn't have as public a bond with her two eldest children.

Here's everything we know about Kidman's children – both biological and adopted.

Connor Cruise

Connor was born in 1995 and is now 28 years old. Like his older sister Bella, Connor was adopted through the church of Scientology.

Recently, the young celebrity offspring shared a rare glimpse into his life after sharing an Instagram post from a day of golfing.

Connor shared a photo of himself sporting a new beard and flashing the thumbs up while enjoying a day on the green with a friend. He didn't caption the snap save for a few golf-related emojis.

He posted the snap to his 43,000 Instagram followers – his first photo since August 2022. And it seems some of Connor's social media followers noticed the hiatus.

"Missed your posts!!!" one person wrote. "Wow Connor how fantastic you look," another added.

As for Connor's adoptive mum, Kidman hasn't been seen in a photo with her son since 2006.

Connor is now a DJ and musician living in Florida. The actor told Woman's Day in 2014. "I love my mum. I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot".

In 2013, he released a song titled Closer to Heaven and starred in 2008's Seven Pounds and 2012's Red Dawn.

In 2019 , Kidman spoke to Vanity Fair about Bella's decision to live in the UK.

"Bella lives just outside London. You know, she really feels more English," the Big Little Lies actress said.

"We lived here for Eyes Wide Shut, Mission Impossible and The Portrait of a Lady. They both had English accents when they were little."

In September 2019, Kidman opened up to The Sun about her difficult relationship with Connor and Bella.

"Motherhood is about the journey," she said. "There are going to be incredible peaks and valleys, whether you are an adopting mother or a birth mother. What a child needs is love."

"They have made choices to be Scientologists. It's our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love."

In August 2020, Bella shared a rare photo of herself on social media.

"All that glitters is gold... oh wait, it's just another Instagram filter," she captioned the post.

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban

Sunday Rose is Kidman's first biological daughter, born in 2008, that she shares with her current husband Keith Urban. Sunday is now 14 years old.

In 2021, Kidman appeared alongside Sunday and Faith Margaret during a live cross for the Golden Globes. Kidman, who was nominated for The Undoing, sat with Urban and their two daughters as she awaited the verdict.

In a previous interview with Hello!, Kidman opened up about choosing the name Sunday for her daughter.

"We went from dreading Sunday to really loving it. It was the day when nobody was going to bother you, you could stay in bed, you could do what you wanted to do. We just thought, What a great name for our baby" Kidman said.

In the same Vanity Fair interview, Kidman shared her two biological children's love for playing instruments. She also stressed how she likes to keep them away from technology.

"They don't have a phone and I don't allow them to have an Instagram. I try to keep some sort of boundaries," she said in 2019.

At the 2017 Emmy awards, Kidman paid tribute to her daughters while accepting her Best Actress Award for Big Little Lies.

"I am also a mother and a wife. I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith. This is yours," she said.

In July 2018, she paid tribute to Sunday Rose on her 10th birthday. "Ten years ago today our little girl came into the world 💕 You are our joy Sunday Rose. We love you, Happy Birthday."

Sunday Rose has indicated that she'd like to be an actress one day, like her mother.

Faith Margaret Kidman Urban

Faith Margaret was born via surrogate with Urban. She's now 12 years old. She was carried to term via a gestational carrier.

Kidman admitted she "had a roller coaster ride with fertility" in an interview with 60 Minutes in 2011.

"Anyone that's been in the place of wanting another child or wanting a child knows the disappointment, the pain and the loss that you go through trying and struggling," she said. "Fertility is such a big thing, and it's not something I've ever run away from talking about."

In December 2019, Kidman shared a black-and-white throwback with Faith.

"Our baby girl is now 9! We love you so much precious precious girl. Happy birthday Faith!"

Sunday and Faith both had small cameos as school children in the second series of Big Little Lies. They also accompanied Kidman on set for The Undoing.

"They're used to being extras, but they did fives days in the freezing New York cold, never complained, and didn't get any special treatment," she told News Corp. "And then one day they came home and said, 'We got a line!'"
