Nicole Kidman has faced a wave of criticism after posting a Mother's Day tribute from her US home this month, with some online commenters accusing the Babygirl star of overlooking her two adopted children while she reportedly deals with the breakdown of her marriage to Keith Urban and the recent death of her mother.
The backlash followed reports of a fragile but hopeful shift in Kidman's family life. The 57 year old actress, whose reported split from country singer Keith Urban is said to have brought their 20 year marriage to an end, had allegedly reconnected with her eldest children, Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30, whom she adopted during her marriage to Tom Cruise. That apparent thaw was said to have come after the death of Kidman's mother, Janelle, in September 2024, a loss that reportedly deepened her wish to repair old family fractures.
