There’s something magical about having your family standing by you, and Nicole Kidman knows this all too well. The star of Expats recently opened up about the joy she finds in watching her daughters, Sunday and Faith, grow into teenagers. It’s a time of life that she cherishes deeply, and it’s easy to see why.
“I have to say, I’m absolutely in awe of teenage girls,” Nicole shared with Elle in a recent interview. “There’s an incredible beauty and strength in that age group. I marvel at what they’re dealing with and how they handle it all with such grace. It’s a remarkable phase of life, and I’m so lucky to be part of it with my daughters.”
Sunday's Influence on Nicole's Career
Sunday, now 15, has been more than just a daughter to Nicole. She’s also been a driving force behind some of the actress’s career decisions. Recently, Sunday encouraged her mom to commit to a season 3 of Big Little Lies, a show that has become a cultural phenomenon.

“My daughter is incredibly insightful,” Nicole explained. “She watched both seasons and said, ‘Mom, there’s no question. We need a third season.’ She pointed out how Celeste wasn’t coping in the second season and even saw things from Mary Louise’s perspective. It was fascinating to hear her thoughts.”
Family Bonding, Whether at Home or on the Road
The Kidman-Urban family enjoys traveling together, but Nicole also values the quiet moments spent at home. Whether it’s cooking dinner with her husband, Keith Urban, or simply enjoying each other’s company, these moments are precious to her.
“I have such a fulfilling life surrounded by the people I love,” Nicole said. “I’m raising two amazing daughters, being a wife, a best friend, a sister, and an aunt. These relationships mean everything to me. They give life its true meaning. And beyond that, it’s about taking care of the legacy we leave behind and showing respect for those who matter most.”
A few months ago, Nicole spoke candidly about her role as a mother and the profound impact her family has on her life. “I have this incredible bond with my sister, my daughters, my nieces, my mom, and my aunts,” she told Vogue Australia. “Sharing everything with them and hearing their perspectives is incredibly powerful. It’s a place of safety and strength for me, especially when it comes to the women in my life.”
Season 3 of 'Big Little Lies': The Teenager's Take
In another conversation about the future of Big Little Lies, Nicole once again credited Sunday for her push towards a third season. “She has a remarkable understanding of life and storytelling,” Nicole said. “We watched the show together, and she was like, ‘There’s no more discussion. The third series has to happen. I’m tired of all the talk and circling around it. Just get it done.’ Sometimes, you need a teenager to step in and say, ‘Enough. Let’s just do it.’”
