However, her journey to becoming a mom wasn’t an easy one. There were ups and downs, including fertility struggles, miscarriages, and the use of a gestational surrogate.

But through it all, she eventually found her happy ending with her two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, along with her two adopted children from her marriage to Cruise. The road to motherhood for Kidman was full of challenges, but it led her to a full, loving family. So, let’s dive into the stories of her kids.

Who is Sunday Rose Kidman Urban?

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, born on July 7, 2008, in Nashville, is the first daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. The name “Sunday” actually came from Kidman’s father, who suggested it as a tribute to Sunday Reed, an Australian patron of the arts (per PEOPLE).

The couple loved the idea, especially since Sunday was born on a Sunday, and the name felt just right. When Sunday was younger, her family made the big move from Los Angeles to Nashville, and she grew up with a little bit of both Australian and Southern accents.

Kidman has mentioned that her daughters have a unique blend of both accents, calling them “hybrids.” But Sunday is more than just a girl with an interesting accent. She’s already showing signs of a career in the arts.

Kidman has said that when Sunday was just a toddler, she was always singing and learning new songs. By the time she was two years old, Sunday had memorized a long list of songs, including The ABC Song and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

If that doesn’t scream ‘future pop star,’ we don’t know what does! But it gets better. In 2024, Sunday took a big step into the fashion world when she made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, walking for Miu Miu’s spring/summer show.

She wore a sleek white dress with black knee socks and open-toe shoes, looking every bit the fashion icon-in-the-making. So, is Sunday going to follow in her mom’s acting footsteps or her dad’s musical ones? Maybe a little of both. Whatever she chooses, it seems like she’s on the path to big things.

Who is Faith Margaret Kidman Urban?

Faith Margaret Kidman Urban is Sunday Rose Kidman Urban’s little sister, born on December 28, 2010, in Nashville. What makes Faith’s story even more special is that she was born via a gestational surrogate.

This was after the couple had struggled with fertility issues, and they were thrilled when they finally became parents to Faith. The name “Faith” was chosen to reflect the couple’s belief that they would one day have another child, despite the difficulties they had faced.

The middle name “Margaret” is in honor of her grandmother (per the same source). Like her sister, Faith tends to keep a low profile. While her parents are often seen in the spotlight, they’ve worked hard to keep their daughters’ lives private.

But Faith has occasionally made appearances, such as when she appeared as an extra in her mom’s popular TV series Big Little Lies or when she voiced a baby bird in the animated film Angry Birds 2.

Faith also joined her mom at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment gala in December 2024, where Kidman was honored with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award. It seems like Faith is starting to step out a little more into the public eye, though she still keeps things pretty private.

Who are Nicole Kidman’s kids with Tom Cruise?

Before Keith Urban and the two girls, Nicole Kidman was married to actor Tom Cruise, and it was through this marriage that she became the mom of two other children—Isabella Kidman Cruise (known as Bella) and Connor Cruise.

Bella was adopted by the couple shortly after her birth in December 1992. While Bella grew up with Cruise in Beverly Hills, she’s mostly stayed out of the public eye. She did, however, pursue a career in fashion, starting off working with Katie Holmes’ fashion line before launching her own clothing brand, BKC, in 2018.

Bella has always been a creative soul, and her designs are often inspired by her life, friends, and love of music. She also has a pretty active Instagram account where she posts her art and the occasional selfie.

In 2015, Bella married British IT consultant Max Parker. The wedding was a quiet affair, and neither of her famous parents attended, though it was reported that Cruise helped pay for the wedding (via The Things).

Kidman, on the other hand, was reportedly (per Now to Love) very happy for her daughter and supported her from a distance. Connor, born in January 1995, was the second child that Kidman and Cruise adopted. Like his sister, Connor also grew up in the public eye but didn’t stay in Hollywood for long.

Instead, he switched gears to music and became a DJ, traveling all over the world for gigs. Connor has also developed a love for deep-sea fishing, and he regularly posts about his fishing trips on Instagram.

His life now seems pretty laid-back—living in Florida, spending time with friends, and enjoying his hobbies. While Bella and Connor may not be the typical Hollywood children, they’ve carved out their own lives.

Nicole Kidman Faced Two Miscarriages During her Marriage with Tom Cruise

Before becoming the mom we see today, Nicole Kidman went through a lot of emotional struggles in her attempts to become a mother. While she was married to Tom Cruise, she faced two heartbreaking miscarriages.

The first one occurred early in their marriage when the actress was just 23 years old, and it was an ectopic pregnancy. The second miscarriage happened several years later, just before she and Cruise filed for divorce in 2001. In a 2007 interview with Marie Claire, Kidman opened up about her pain. She said:

I had a miscarriage at the end of my marriage, but I had an ectopic pregnancy at the beginning of my marriage. It was incredibly traumatic for me. Sometimes you share your grief. What will be will be. It’s in God’s hands.

Her journey wasn’t easy, but after her divorce from the superstar, Kidman found happiness with Keith Urban, and less than a year later, they welcomed their daughter, Sunday Rose. The difficult times Kidman went through just made her more appreciative of the family she built with Urban, and today, she is a proud and happy mom of four.
