Nicole Kidman may have a celebrated acting career but there's nothing she's more proud of than being a mom.
The 56-year-old Moulin Rouge star has children with both her ex-husband Tom Cruise and her current husband Keith Urban, and she is fiercely private about her kids.
However, over the years Nicole has delighted fans with an insight into her personal life and how she feels about raising her brood.
Join HELLO! as we explore all there is to know about the multi award-winning actress' children.
Bella Kidman Cruise
Nicole became a mom in 1992 when she and her then-husband, Tom, adopted the first of their two children together, Bella. Like her father, Bella is a Scientologist
Bella, 31, shies away from public life, living in Croydon with her husband, Max Parker. The couple got married in 2015, although her mother and father were unable to make the wedding due to work commitments. She lives a relatively normal life as an artist and graphic designer, sharing her work in Instagram to her 54,000 followers.
"You know, she really feels more English," Nicole told Vanity Fair of Bella. "We lived there for Eyes Wide Shut, Mission Impossible, and The Portrait of a Lady. They both had English accents when they were little."

Nicole has dismissed rumors that her children were estranged from her, explaining: "Motherhood is about the journey. There are going to be incredible peaks and valleys, whether you are an adopting mother or a birth mother. What a child needs is love."

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban

Not long after Sunday was born, the couple moved to Nashville, and they split their time between Australia and Tennessee.
Already, Sunday has shown an interest in following in her parents' footsteps. "I'm raising a little girl that's showing an interest in directing right now," Nicole revealed in 2018. "I want her to have a path for that."
Faith Margaret Kidman Urban

Following their announcement, Nicole explained that they had chosen to keep the news a secret in order to protect everyone involved in the process. "I wanted to be able to tell everybody because I was so excited about her," she told an E! News reporter at the SAG Awards in 2011.
"[But] we just decided this was our thing together. It kind of just perpetuated itself… it protects [Faith] and it protects everyone in the situation."

Both of Nicole and Keith's daughters have landed a number of roles as extras over the years, while hanging out on set with their mom.
These have included Big Little Lies and The Undoing. Talking to News.com.au in October 2020, a proud Nicole opened up about her children having roles on the latter project.
