Nicole Kidman reportedly spent Christmas Day in Australia with her two teen daughters, whom she shares with ex-husband Keith Urban.
The award-winning actress, 58, and daughters Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, 17, and Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban, nearly 15, traveled to Australia for their first Christmas since Kidman filed to divorce the country star on September 30. An unnamed source told PEOPLE: “Nicole and the girls are in Australia for Christmas. This is all she wanted after a tumultuous fall. She just wanted to celebrate Christmas at home. She's very excited.”
Kidman cited “irreconcilable differences” when she filed to divorce Urban, 58. She filed shortly after news broke that they’d been separated since the beginning of summer. The divorce ends a marriage of nearly 20 years. Urban and Kidman met at a gala in 2005 in Los Angeles, California, and they got married the following year in Sydney, Australia. The couple welcomed Sunday Rose in 2008, and Faith Margaret in 2010. Kidman reportedly sought to be the primary residential parent of the two girls, requesting to spend 306 days of the year with them while Urban spends 59 days with his daughters.
Kidman made her first public appearance since filing for divorce at the amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) Dallas Gala on October 4 in Dallas, Texas. She presented Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan with the Award of Inspiration at the nonprofit organization’s event. Urban, who is part of the star-studded New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash lineup, continued his performances on his headlining tour after news broke of the divorce. He told concertgoers during his show in Nashville, Tennessee, “stop reading sh*t into it,” when he changed the lyrics to one of his 2002 hits.
“The best part is the experiences that you've accumulated,” Kidman said in an October interview with Harper’s Bazaar when asked what she considers the best part about getting older. “So you go, ‘Oh, I’ve been here before. I actually know how to handle this now.’ Or, ‘Maybe I haven’t been in this place, but I've experienced something similar to this, and I do know that I will get through it.’ There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through. You’re going to have to feel it. You’re not going to be able to numb it. You are going to have to feel it, and it's going to feel insurmountable at times. You’re going to feel like you’re broken, but if you move gently and slowly—and it can take an enormous amount of time—it does pass.”
