Listen up, friends. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s beloved family dog, Julian, has completely charmed their fans! On Wednesday, August 16, the star of Big Little Lies treated her Instagram followers to a series of photos featuring her absolutely adorable pup. And let me tell you, these snaps are gold.

In one particularly cheeky shot, the chestnut-colored poodle is seen sitting behind the wheel of Nicole's car, looking every bit the part of a royal chauffeur. Nicole captioned the post with a playful nod to her furry companion’s regal demeanor: “Passenger prince takes the wheel.”

Fans Are Losing Their Hearts to Julian

The comments section quickly filled up with fans expressing their adoration for Julian. One follower remarked, “School pickups with a pup are the best!” while another joked, “OK, when I’m reincarnated, I want to come back as your dog.” It’s clear that Julian has stolen the hearts of Nicole’s fans, just as he has undoubtedly stolen the hearts of his celebrity parents.

Julian's Journey to Becoming a Family Member

The story of Julian began in July 2019 when Nicole and Keith adopted him and introduced him to the world via Instagram. Nicole, now 56, couldn’t have been more thrilled. In a heartwarming caption accompanying a photo of Julian giving her a sweet kiss on the forehead, she wrote, “My first puppy… actually, my first dog. Been waiting my whole life for this!”

Julian wasn’t the only addition to the Kidman-Urban household. Nicole and Keith, both 55, are also proud rescuers of several cats and caretakers of various farm animals on their sprawling Australian estate. Their love for animals is evident in every aspect of their life together.

Life on the Farm with Nicole and Keith

In a candid moment, Nicole once shared her thoughts about the alpacas on their property. “They’re a little fierce,” she admitted. “They make noises, they spit, and they can bite. But we also have chickens, 10 fish, and two cats named Ginger and Snow. I really am a cat person. You know those carriers you can put them in? Those backpacks? They absolutely love it.”

Nicole went on to explain that her cats are quite the adventurers, eagerly hopping into their pet-friendly backpacks for family excursions. “Yeah, I was actually going to post a picture of it, and then I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t want to do that,’” she joked. “But I may still because it is really cute. They can’t wait to get in.”

A Glimpse into Nicole's Family Life

This rare peek into Nicole's life as a pet parent coincides with a recent outing where she was spotted with her two daughters, Sunday and Faith. The trio strolled through Sydney Airport on August 3, with the girls dressed in outfits that were strikingly similar to their mother's—casual yet stylish.

While Keith wasn’t photographed during this family outing, he’s been keeping busy leading his tour across the U.S. The tour is set to wrap up in Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, Canada, on August 1, 2024.
