Nicole Kidman is reportedly receiving strong emotional support from her adult children, Bella and Connor, as she navigates her divorce from husband Keith Urban.
The Oscar-winning actress adopted Bella, now 32, and Connor, 30, during her marriage to Tom Cruise, and the siblings are said to be standing firmly by their mother during this challenging period.
According to Radar Online, Kidman spent the summer in London, where she reconnected deeply with Bella. A source claimed that Bella had “a front-row seat” to the marital issues and encouraged her mother to take decisive steps toward separation. The insider added that Kidman had been “keeping the marriage on life support,” but the emotional strain had taken a toll.
The source further shared that Bella and Connor “never understood” Kidman’s relationship with Urban, especially following the country singer’s early rehabilitation stint after their wedding in 2006. The reported difficulties during that period allegedly left a lasting impression on the children, contributing to tension between them and Urban.
Despite limited public appearances together after Kidman and Cruise’s divorce in 2001, insiders say the actress has recently rebuilt her relationship with Bella and Connor. With the separation from Urban now underway, those close to the family believe the bond between Kidman and her older children may grow even stronger.
Kidman and Urban, who married in 2006, share two younger daughters: Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. As the actress works through the emotional upheaval of the split, insiders suggest that renewed closeness with her elder children may become an unexpected positive outcome during a difficult chapter.
