Seven months on from her divorce with Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman<\/a> is opening up about the reality of raising a family while working in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

The actress, 59, is currently starring in the TV series Lioness, which filmed on location in Texas. Kidman raises her daughters\u00a0Sunday, 18, and 15-year-old Faith<\/a> at their family home in Nashville, Tennessee. <\/p>\n

Speaking to Extra<\/a>, Kidman admitted that instead of spending time with cast and crew, she would fly home at any opportunity to be with her girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cI go home to my family. I\u2019ve got one child in junior year and one who\u2019s a freshman. So, I was like, \u2018Okay, I got to be there taking care,\u2019 you know? Multitasking, right?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her comments came after her co-star Zoe Saldana<\/a> said the cast had become \u201cfamily\u201d and would do everything together \u2013 from going to concerts and horse riding to spending Thanksgiving as a unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole would [have joined us] if she was there, but as soon as Nicole finishes, she flies home to her family,\u201d Saldana said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s so beautiful to see, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally, Kidman was only supposed to be an executive producer on the project, but agreed on a supporting role so she could travel home to be with her daughters on days off.<\/p>\n

Kidman and Urban made headlines in September 2025 when they split after almost 20 years of marriage<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A day after news of their separation broke, the\u00a0Big Little Lies\u00a0star filed for divorce from the country singer<\/a>, citing \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d.<\/p>\n

In January the former couple finalised their divorce.<\/p>\n

A parenting plan for their daughters has also been put in place<\/a>, with Kidman\u2019s home remaining the primary residence for Sunday and Faith, and the\u00a0Holland\u00a0star having custody of the girls for 306 days a year.<\/p>\n

The country music star was granted 59 days out of the year, with their daughters allowed to spend every other weekend with him.<\/p>\n

Kidman and Urban are both required to \u201cbehave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent,\u201d the agreement states.<\/p>\n

Despite their marriage breakdown dominating headlines throughout the end of 2025, Kidman and Urban both been trying to continue life as normal, honouring their work commitments and supporting their girls.<\/p>\n

Kidman hit headlines for another reason earlier this month, after she was spotted was spotted with American businessman Michael Reinstein, 55, at a hotel in Italy<\/a>, sparking rumours of a romance. <\/p>\n
