Nicole Kidman recently expressed her hopes regarding the possibility of her younger daughters, Faith Margaret, 14, and Sunday Rose, 17, joining her in future acting projects. The talented actress made these comments during the New York City premiere of her latest television series, “Scarpetta,” where she shared her thoughts on her daughters potentially following in her footsteps.

During a conversation with PEOPLE, Kidman was asked whether she believed Faith and Sunday would be inclined to act alongside her. She thoughtfully responded, “I can’t answer for them. The thing that we all know about children and when they become young women, is that you shouldn’t tell them who they are or what they should be. They are there to show you who they are.” Her approach reflects a desire to respect her daughters’ autonomy, indicating that decisions about their future should ultimately be theirs to make.
When pressed on whether she personally would enjoy having her daughters on set with her, Kidman replied with warmth, saying, “I would just love to have them with me at all times, all the time. They’re always like, ‘Mama, mama. You can’t have that.’ But yeah, would I be interested in that? Of course. I just want them with me.” Kidman displayed her affection for her children, referring to them as her “loves” and emphasising the strong bond shared between them.
The actress shares Faith and Sunday with her ex-husband, Keith Urban. In addition to her younger daughters, Kidman is also the mother to Bella and Connor, children from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise. Her family dynamics have made headlines recently, particularly following her split from Urban after nearly 20 years of marriage. Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Despite the personal challenges associated with the divorce, Kidman has been focusing on providing a stable environment for her children. Just last December, insiders reported that Kidman spent Christmas in Australia with her daughters, aiming to create a memorable holiday for them amid her recent tumultuous experiences. A source close to the actress noted that she greatly valued being home during such a significant time, stating, “She just wanted to celebrate Christmas at home. She’s very excited.”
The arrangements for co-parenting appear to be amicable, as a source revealed that the couple’s daughters are effectively splitting their time between both parents. “Their daughters live with Nicole, but spend as much time with Keith as they want,” said the insider, adding, “There is no drama.” This collaborative approach underscores the commitment both Kidman and Urban share towards nurturing their daughters amidst their new circumstances.
Further insights from an early December source highlighted their continued commitment to co-parenting, stating, “The focus is on their daughters. They both want to create a stable and supportive environment for them.” These sentiments are reflected in a parenting agreement that Kidman and Urban devised as part of their divorce proceedings, which includes provisions like avoiding negative remarks about one another and encouraging their children to maintain strong relationships with both parents.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Kidman has been designated as the primary residential parent, allowing her to spend a significant amount of time—306 days per year—with Faith and Sunday, compared to Urban’s 59 days. This arrangement aims to promote a balanced and supportive upbringing for the girls, allowing them to develop their identities while enjoying the love and guidance of both parents.
As Kidman navigates her professional and personal life, her dedication to her daughters remains clear. The prospect of collaborating with them professionally may be a future aspiration, but for now, her priority lies in ensuring they are nurtured in a loving environment as they grow into their own identities.
