Seven months after divorcing Keith Urban<\/a>, Nicole Kidman<\/a> has opened up on the changes she has made parenting her teenage daughters, Sunday, 18, and 15-year-old Faith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-winning actress has successfully transitioned to the small screen in recent years and will star in season three of Paramount series Lioness<\/a> alongside Zoe Saldana.<\/p>\n

The show shoots on location in Texas, but Nicole is raising her girls in Nashville, Tennessee, and has now revealed that she decided to fly home at any opportunity she would get to be there for her girls, rather than spending the time with the cast and crew.<\/p>\n

“I go home to my family. I\u2019ve got one child in junior year and one who’s a freshman. So, I was like, ‘Okay, I got to be there taking care,’ you know? Multitasking, right?” she told Extra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The comments come after Zoe shared that the cast and crew had become a “family,” training together, attending concerts, going horse riding, and even spending Thanksgiving together.<\/p>\n

“Nicole would [have joined us] if she was there, but as soon as Nicole finishes, she flies home to her family,” she added. “And it\u2019s so beautiful to see, too.”<\/p>\n

Created by Taylor Sheridan, Lioness\u00a0follows an elite unit of female operatives tackling high-stakes undercover missions. \u00a0In the upcoming third season, viewers will see “hidden networks, foreign operatives, and personal betrayals collide.”<\/p>\n

Nicole was originally only going to be an executive producer on the series until Taylor offered to build the actress a smaller supporting role in order to allow her to travel back and forth to be with her daughters.<\/p>\n

Nicole previously balanced intense shooting schedules<\/a> for shows such as\u00a0Big Little Lies\u00a0and The Perfect Couple as she was married to Keith at the time.<\/p>\n

But Nicole and Keith finalized their divorce<\/a> in January 2026, four months after news broke that they had separated after nearly 20 years of marriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The custody agreement designates Nicole as the primary residential parent, awarding Keith 59 days of parenting time per year, but established joint legal custody for their two daughters.<\/p>\n

Positive parenting<\/p>\n

“They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent,” their marital dissolution agreement read. “They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”<\/p>\n
