On Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, Nicole Kidman is a mysterious wellness guru who tries to heal after losing her daughter. But behind the cameras, the actress is getting candid about being a real-life mom.
In a recent interview with Allure, the 57-year-old actress discussed her relationship with her two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, whom she shares with her husband, Keith Urban. When asked if she likes the mother she has become, she said, “I do, actually. I’m very close to both my girls. I sit on their beds and discuss the most intimate things; I get to be their guide.”

The actress also mentioned that she genuinely enjoys their mother-daughter bond. She continued, “If they want to tell me to be quiet, they can. I’m able to apologize to them. I’m able to stand up to them. I very much like the relationship we have. It’s nice to be able to say that.”
In addition to Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, Kidman has two adopted children (Isabella and Connor) from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
The cover interview comes just a few days after the Holland star paid tribute to her own mom on Mother’s Day. Kidman took to Instagram and shared a sweet throwback pic with her mother, Janelle, and both of her daughters during a family vacation in Australia.

Kidman captioned the post, “My mother and my daughters in Uluru, beautiful memories…always. Happy Mother’s Day.” In the comments, one fan wrote, “Gracefully beautiful photo of your mom.”
As it turns out, Kidman came quite close to leaving Hollywood for good after she welcomed both of her daughters. The actress told Motherly, “I’d moved to Nashville; we were living on a farm.” Fortunately, thanks to her mom, Kidman decided to stick around.
She recalled, “My mom actually said, ‘I wouldn’t give up completely. Keep a finger sort of in it.’”
Kudos to Janelle for steering her daughter in the right direction.
