Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s eldest daughter recently captured attention after a photo of her posing with her mother surfaced online. While the original poster remarked that Kidman and her daughter looked like sisters, fans quickly pointed out the 16-year-old’s striking resemblance to her father.
Over the years, the girls, now teenagers, have made only occasional appearances, often alongside their parents. The eldest has recently started stepping into the spotlight, capturing attention with her budding interests. The viral photo in question is just the latest example of how her presence is making waves.
Nicole’s role as a mother is one of the most significant aspects of her life. She is the proud parent of four children: Isabella and Connor, whom she adopted during her marriage to Tom Cruise, and Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, her daughters with Keith Urban. Each child’s entry into her life tells a unique story.

The actress adopted Isabella and Connor after facing a traumatic ectopic pregnancy with Tom early in their marriage. In interviews, she has credited this experience with shaping her understanding of family and the importance of adoption, which was already part of her own family history.

After marrying country musician, Keith in 2006, they welcomed their first daughter Sunday Rose in 2008 following struggles with fertility. Faith Margaret was born two years later via gestational carrier. In discussing her path to motherhood, Kidman has expressed gratitude for every step.

Over the years, both daughters have appeared in small public roles, such as voicing characters in “Angry Birds 2” and being extras in their mom’s hit series “Big Little Lies.” However, Nicole and Keith have worked diligently to create a stable, grounded life for their girls.

In October 2024, Sunday made her debut at Paris Fashion Week, walking for Miu Miu’s spring/summer collection. She wore a white sleeveless dress with ribbon details paired with black knee socks and open-toe pumps, complemented by her long blonde hair tucked behind her ears and a minimal makeup look.
Nicole recounted how both parents helped her prepare for the role, with Sunday insisting that Keith assist her in rehearsing lines. Nicole has also credited Sunday with influencing her professional decisions, such as encouraging a third season of “Big Little Lies” and even offering character insights.
