Life hasn’t been easy for anyone during these unprecedented times, and even Nicole Kidman isn’t immune to the struggles of quarantine. The renowned actress, who wears her parenting hat with pride, has revealed how the pandemic has taken a toll on her two daughters, Sunday and Faith. While she's always been hands-on as a mother, the coronavirus outbreak brought challenges that no amount of preparation could have anticipated. From social distancing to adapting to online learning, the Kidman household has been navigating through some tough waters.
In a heartfelt conversation with the November 2020 issue of U.K.'s Glamour magazine, Nicole Kidman, now 53, opened up about the emotional journey her daughters are experiencing. "Our kids are resilient, but this lockdown has been particularly hard on them," Nicole shared candidly. "Because we travel frequently, they’ve adjusted well to online learning. However, the absence of face-to-face interactions with friends has left them feeling isolated and yearning for connection."
Understanding the Struggles of Growing Up in a Pandemic
Nicole, who shares her daughters Sunday, 12, and Faith, 9, with her husband Keith Urban, 53, elaborated on the unique challenges each child faces. "Watching them pine and yearn for their friends is one of the hardest things," Nicole admitted. "For a 12-year-old, it’s about missing the ease of hanging out with friends. That’s a universal challenge every parent is dealing with right now. And then there’s Faith, who’s at an age where she’s just beginning to form her social identity. It’s tough to watch her navigate through this phase virtually."

Nicole empathizes deeply with her children's struggles. "I miss my friends too," she confessed. "It’s not just the kids; we all feel that ache of separation. But as parents, we try to remind ourselves that these moments will pass, and we’ll emerge stronger."
Family Support During Tough Times
Despite the challenges, Nicole and her family have found ways to make the best of their situation. The Academy Award-winning actress revealed that her sister, Antonia Kidman, and her children—Sybella, Nicholas, and Alexander—have moved in to help during this period. Antonia, who has a blended family with ex-husband Angus Hawley and current spouse Craig Marran, brings a sense of joy and lightness to the household.
"Having three of Antonia’s younger kids living with us has been such a blessing," Nicole shared. "Their youthful energy reminds me not to take life too seriously. It’s amazing how their presence can shift your perspective. Instead of feeling weighed down by the pandemic, you start to see it as something temporary. It’s a powerful reminder that even in difficult times, life can still be beautiful."
