Nicole Kidman is spending the holidays far from Hollywood — and far from the heartbreak that followed her split from husband Keith Urban. The Oscar-winning actress, 58, has returned to her native Australia to celebrate Christmas with her daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14 — marking her first festive season since filing for divorce.
Photos obtained by Page Six show the Big Little Lies star looking radiant and relaxed as she joined family and friends for a Christmas Eve gathering in Sydney, her trademark curls cascading over her shoulders. “After a tumultuous fall, this is exactly what she needed,” an insider told People. “Her heart was set on celebrating Christmas at home, and she’s absolutely thrilled to be there.”
Kidman reportedly filed for divorce from Urban on September 30, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly 20 years of marriage. Despite the end of a long partnership, sources close to the actress say she’s “coping well” and focusing on her children, her career, and the joy of starting a new chapter.
“She’s maintaining a positive outlook and focusing on gratitude,” the source continued. “She feels lucky for everything she’s built and is truly embracing this next phase of her life.”
Meanwhile, Urban, 58, is said to be keeping an exceptionally low profile as he adjusts to single life. According to Globe, the country music star has quietly started dating again—but under strict conditions. “Keith has always been private, but since the divorce, he’s even more guarded,” a source claimed. “He makes any potential partner sign a non-disclosure agreement and avoids being seen in public with anyone new.”
Kidman, who was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, shares two adult children — Connor, 30, and Bella, 32 — from that marriage. Now, after what insiders call a “difficult but necessary” separation, the actress appears focused on peace, family, and reflection.
“She’s spending time with the people who make her happiest,” the source added. “For Nicole, this Christmas isn’t about gifts or glamour — it’s about grounding herself again.”
