“Awww shame her other children – Isabella and Connor -weren’t there,” lamented one user, echoing sentiments shared by others concerned about the family’s dynamics. “I’m glad she got another chance at a family. Yes, she adopted Connor and Isabella, but Tom and Scientology stole them from her. I mean it when I say stole as well. I can’t imagine the pain of losing your children to a cult,” one of Nicole Kidman’s fans explained.

In the midst of glitz and glamor, Kidman’s heartfelt acknowledgment of family love, coupled with the debut of Sunday and Faith, encapsulated the essence of the evening—a celebration of both personal and professional milestones.
As previously reported:
Nicole Kidman’s husband, Keith Urban, and their daughter, Faith Kidman-Urban, were recently spotted at Sydney Airport. The young teen notably resembled her mother, echoing her looks from the early days of her career. However, some fans thought differently.
As they navigated through the bustling environment of Sydney Airport, Faith was dressed comfortably for the international flight, sporting a pale blue T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and a matching grey hoodie. She carried a large black backpack and styled with her brunette hair in a low braid.
Meanwhile, Keith maintained a low-key appearance, opting for casual cargo pants paired with a white graphic-printed T-shirt. He accessorized his look with a pair of white sneakers, shaded his eyes with thick black sunglasses, and carried a large backpack.

The appearance immediately drew several actions from fans, particularly talking about Faith’s resemblance to her parents and they quickly took to social media to express themselves.
Some noted that Faith is the “spitting image of her dad,” while others observed that she has “her mother’s nose and lips.” One user noted that they could “see Nicole in her,” but agreed that she resembled her father more. Many agreed that “she looks more like her dad,” with some writing that she“looks like Keith,” and others gushed that she was “beautiful.”
The father-daughter duo’s appearance at the airport was not just a casual outing. Tt was a significant travel event. Keith and Faith were headed to the United States where Nicole was set to be honored with an American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award.
Nicole and Keith, both luminaries in their respective fields, have managed to keep their family life relatively private, despite their global fame. The couple shares two daughters, 15-year-old Sunday and 13-year-old Faith. Nicole also has two older children, Bella and Connor, from her previous marriage to actor Tom Cruise.

In rare moments, Nicole has opened up about her family, expressing a deep appreciation for the stability and love she shares with Keith. She has remarked on the profound support Keith provides.
This support empowers her to pursue her demanding acting career with confidence. From Keith’s perspective, fatherhood has been a transformative experience. He has spoken candidly about the joy and the learning curve involved in raising daughters. This is particularly special for Keith as he does not have any sisters.

Keith cherishes being a parent, a role he hadn’t anticipated earlier in his life but has embraced fully. Keith’s reflections on parenting reveal a tender, personal side to his otherwise public persona as a country music star and former “American Idol” judge.

He has noted how his daughters, Sunday and Faith, exhibit distinct personalities. He shared that Sunday is outgoing and sunny—aptly reflecting her nickname, “Sunny.” Faith shows a more introspective nature even at a young age. These differences have brought joy and a sense of wonder to Keith as he navigates raising two unique individuals.
Moreover, Keith has integrated his family life into his professional world in meaningful ways. His daughters influence his music and creative processes. They are often the first to hear his new tracks.
Nicole and Keith have cultivated a distinctive approach to parenting. One of the more unique aspects of their family dynamic is their decision not to text each other. Nicole has shared that this practice helps maintain a direct and more meaningful communication line between them. She emphasizes that calls over texts ensure they connect deeply and meaningfully.

This helps keep their family bond strong. Nicole and Keith’s lifestyle is a testament to their commitment to not only nurturing their careers but also fostering a nurturing home environment for their daughters.
