Nicole Kidman‘s rarely seen children are emerging in diverse ways, from Bella‘s dedication to art and Connor’s shift from music to culinary pursuits, to Sunday’s striking modeling debut and Faith‘s early voice acting. The actress’s four children, two adopted with Tom Cruise and two daughters with Keith Urban, have largely grown up away from the spotlight but are now stepping into their unique paths.
Throughout Nicole Kidman‘s journey as a mother, from her marriage to Tom Cruise to her life with Keith Urban, she has maintained a rare privacy around her children. Despite occasional public appearances and social media glimpses, these kids have preserved their individuality while being shaped by their famous parents’ worlds.
Bella Kidman Cruise: The Artistic Trailblazer at 32
Bella Kidman Cruise, 32, was adopted by Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise during their marriage. They welcomed her in 1993 amid struggles with fertility, marking the start of Nicole’s role as a mother.
Reflecting on parenthood, Kidman once said,
Children are children — you’ll die for your children. And when you feel that as a parent, that’s the unconditional love.

After Kidman and Cruise’s divorce in 2001, Bella stayed primarily with her father in Beverly Hills and was raised in the Church of Scientology, a faith she reportedly still follows alongside her brother Connor.
Away from most media attention, Bella has developed a strong creative identity as an artist. Starting with simple drawing in her youth, she has since embraced digital art, describing it as
a bit of a game changer.
Bella now sells artwork including limited-edition prints and totes through an online platform.
Bella’s private life is similarly discreet. In 2015, she married British IT consultant Max Parker in a quiet ceremony at London’s Dorchester Hotel, attended only by close friends. Neither Nicole, Tom, nor Connor were present, but Tom reportedly fully supported the union and even covered the wedding costs.
Connor Cruise’s Shift from Electronic Music to Culinary Arts at 30
Connor Cruise, 30, is the second adopted child of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. Although he usually avoids the public eye, a source once shared about Tom’s parenting,
He loves all his children. And each of them has a right to their own story.

Early in his adult life, Connor explored a career in music, releasing his debut single, Closer to Heaven, in 2013. Co-written with Mason Musso and DJ Poet, the song aimed to be a feel-good dance anthem. Connor explained,
I was trying to make an upbeat commercial dance music track that makes you feel good and is more of an anthem,
—Connor Cruise, Musician
Before diving into music production, Connor made a name for himself as a DJ, sharing stages with artists such as Nervo and Steve Aoki. After witnessing Madeon perform at Coachella in 2012, he fully committed to electronic music.
However, in recent years, Connor’s focus seems to have moved away from music towards a new passion: culinary arts. He now frequently posts on Instagram about smoking and preparing various meats, indicating that cooking has become a central part of his creative expression.
Sunday Rose Kidman Urban: From Family Supporter to Emerging Model at 17
Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 17, is Nicole’s eldest daughter with Keith Urban. In April 2024, she stood by her mother’s side at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala in Hollywood, where Nicole received a prestigious career honor.
Nicole expressed pride in her daughters’ support, stating,
They are here to support me, and they’re very, very supportive and incredibly loving.

Just months later, Sunday attracted attention during a Paris event, where many were surprised by her mature appearance. Online comments reflected disbelief, with one viewer saying,
She’s 16?! OMG I thought 30.

Others emphasized her resemblance to her father Keith Urban, noting Sunday’s combination of his features and her mother’s height and poise.
Sunday officially stepped into the fashion world during Paris Fashion Week in October 2024, debuting on the Miu Miu runway wearing a white sleeveless dress with ribbon accents, paired with black knee socks and open-toe heels.
Keith Urban commented on Sunday’s modeling milestone, commenting,
Hopefully we can just help her keep balance with everything through all of that,
acknowledging the challenges that come with growing up in the public eye.
He further added,
It’s all a process, but I think balance is key. Keeping her firmly with schoolwork and structure and everything balanced in its place is key,
—Keith Urban, Country Music Star
Following her strong debut, Sunday returned to the Miu Miu runway in 2025, signaling a serious start to her modeling career.
Faith Margaret Kidman Urban: The Youngest Daughter and Rising Voice at 14
Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, 14, is the youngest of Nicole’s children with Keith Urban. Born on December 28, 2010, through a gestational carrier in Nashville, Faith’s name reflects her parents‘ strong belief in faith and honors Nicole’s grandmother.
A close friend of the family shared,
They never gave up faith they’d have another child together. They feel blessed.
—Anonymous Friend
Together with her older sister Sunday, Faith has experienced a taste of Hollywood early on. In 2019, they both voiced characters in The Angry Birds Movie 2, with Sunday playing Lily, a yellow chick, and Faith voicing Beatrice, a purple chick.
While the COVID-19 lockdown forced Faith and Sunday to adjust to online schooling, Nicole expressed the difficulty her daughters faced from the lack of social interaction during those formative years. She noted,
I pine and yearn for my friends too.
—Nicole Kidman, Actress
Though Faith remains mostly out of the spotlight, glimpses of her growth have been shared on her parents’ Instagram accounts, showing her steady presence by their side as she matures.
Understanding the Impact of Nicole Kidman’s Family Values
Nicole Kidman’s rarely seen children reveal a family shaped by both privacy and individuality. From Bella’s artistic pursuits outside the spotlight, Connor’s transition into culinary interests, Sunday’s emergence in fashion, to Faith’s quiet presence alongside her sister, each child reflects a different facet of Nicole and Keith’s world.
The way these children balance their public and private lives highlights the caring approach Nicole and Keith Urban take as parents. Their commitment to nurturing distinct paths while shielding their kids from relentless media attention offers a glimpse into family life behind the celebrity image.
