Quick Facts

Early Life & Biography

Nicole Mary Kidman was born on June 20, 1967, in Honolulu, Hawaii, while her Australian parents were temporarily in the United States on student visas. Her father, Dr. Antony Kidman, was a biochemist, clinical psychologist, and author completing graduate studies at the University of Hawaii; her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, was a nursing instructor who later edited her husband’s books and was a member of the Women’s Electoral Lobby.

When Nicole was four, the family returned to Australia and settled in Sydney; she also lived in Washington, D.C. and London during her father’s academic appointments. She grew up with a younger sister, Antonia Kidman, who became a journalist and television presenter. Nicole was bullied at high school for her unusual height and red hair, earning the nickname “Stalky.” She began ballet lessons and fell in love with the stage from an early age. At 17, she left school and began working as a massage therapist to support her mother, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

She trained at Sydney’s Phillip Street Theatre alongside future star Naomi Watts. In 1990, she met Tom Cruise on the set of Days of Thunder and married him the same year; they adopted two children, Isabella and Connor Cruise, before Cruise filed for divorce in 2001. She met country musician Keith Urban at a gathering of Australians in Los Angeles in 2005, married him on June 25, 2006, and had two daughters together: Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (born 2008) and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban (born 2010, via surrogate). In September 2025, it was confirmed that Kidman and Urban had separated several months prior in the summer of 2025, with their divorce finalized in late 2025. Her mother, Janelle Kidman, passed away in 2024.
