Nicole Kidman left two of her four children out of her Mother’s Day post on Sunday.
The actress, 57, shared two throwback photos of her and husband Keith Urban’s two daughters, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with her late mom, Janelle Ann Kidman, who died last year at age 84.
“My mother and my daughters in Uluru, beautiful memories…always 💕,” Kidman wrote in her Instagram caption. “Happy Mother’s Day.”
Kidman’s post didn’t mention her and ex-husband Tom Cruise’s daughter Bella Cruise, 32, and son Connor Cruise, 30. The former couple adopted their kids while they were married from 1990 to 2001.
Tom, 62, made a rare comment about Kidman in an interview with Sight and Sound magazine published Friday.
Speaking about meeting with Stanley Kubrick to discuss making the 1999 thriller “Eyes Wife Shut,” Tom said, “It was basically he and I getting to know each other. And when we were doing that, I suggested Nicole play the role [of Alice]. Because obviously she’s a great actress.”
Both Bella and Connor have remained out of the spotlight over the years. Kidman never posts them on her social media.
Connor, a Scientologist like his famous father, lives in Clearwater, Florida, which is also home to Scientology HQ.
In June 2024, Connor and his dad were photographed on a helicopter ride as they landed in London.
Connor also made a rare appearance at a promo event for Tom’s “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning” film in NYC in July 2023.
Bella, meanwhile, is an artist. According to her website, “Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen. Since that point in time she’s been evolving in her arts.”
Kidman spoke about keeping her older children out of the public eye to Australian outlet Who in 2018.
“I’m very private about all that,” the Oscar winner said. “I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is.”
Back in 2008, Kidman told Elle that Connor and Bella were raised “amidst a lot of love.”
“They are generous, kind and hardworking,” the “Big Little Lies” star said. “And these are traits that I love to see in my children.”
After divorcing Tom, Kidman married Urban, 57, in 2006.
That same year, Tom tied the knot with Katie Holmes. They welcomed daughter Suri, 19, before splitting in 2012.
The “Jerry Maguire” star has been estranged from Suri for nearly her entire life. The teenager is a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
