This is not exactly the type of “parenting” news we enjoy talking about on this site, but it is unfortunately part of life and growing up.
In a new cover story for GQ, 57-year-old actress Nicole Kidman opened up about the death of her parents. Her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, died just a few months ago in September. Her father, Dr. Anthony Kidman, passed away back in 2014 after a fall.
Kidman admitted losing both of her parents has been incredibly difficult…
So life is, whew. It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older. It’s a wake up at 3 a.m. crying and gasping kind of thing. If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it. And I’m in it. Fully in it.
She’s been struggling with her own mortality, especially when she thinks about her children, 16-year-old Sunday and 13-year-old Faith.
Mortality. Connection. Life coming and hitting you. And loss of parents and raising children and marriage and all of the things that go into making you a fully sentient human. I’m in all of those places.
Kidman shares both of her daughters with country music superstar Keith Urban. They’ve been married since 2006, and by all accounts, are more in love than ever nearly 20 years later.
