Nicole Kidman celebrated her first Mother’s Day since her split from Keith Urban by focusing on her children.
“To my beautiful girls, the greatest joy is being your mother,” Kidman, 58, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 10, sharing sweet throwback photos of herself playing with Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, whom she shares with Urban.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world 🩷🩷🩷,” Kidman concluded the post. In one photo, one of her daughters was seen on Kidman’s back while the actress beamed at her other daughter. (Kidman is also the mom of two children whom she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise: Bella, 33, and Connor, 31, who lived with their dad following their split. Kidman and Cruise, 58, tied the knot in 1990 and finalized their divorce in 2001.)
Her fans sent her sweet messages of support in the comments section.
“Happy Mother’s Day, mama😍,” one fan wrote, while another follower added, “HAPPY MOTHERS DAY BEAUTIFUL.” A third commented, “What a gorgeous photo.”
Kidman’s post came after news that she and Urban finalized their divorce in January 2026 after 19 years of marriage.
“I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good,” The Babygirl actress told Variety in March, breaking her silence on the pair’s split. “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward.”
She continued, “That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
The actress, who has had a rocky relationship with her adopted children after her split with Cruise, shared in 2018 that she still loves Bella and Connor unconditionally.
“They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she told Who magazine. “And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe — that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here.”
She continued, “I think that’s so important because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family — I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love.”
