Nicole Kidman's adopted children Bella and Connor's heartfelt note to their mother after the death of her mum Janelle following months of being estranged - as speculation grows whether they'll attend the funeral

As an ardent fan who has followed Nicole Kidman’s journey for years, I must say her life story is as captivating as any Hollywood blockbuster. Her career trajectory, marked by immense success and accolades, is truly inspiring. Yet, it’s her personal life that resonates deeply, filled with moments of joy, sorrow, and resilience.

Nicole Kidman’s adopted kids, her son Connor and daughter Bella, are standing by her as she copes with the loss of her dear mother, Janelle.

Bella, aged 31, and Connor, aged 29, are said to have penned a touching letter to Nicole following her disclosure that her mother had passed away at 84 years old – mere hours before she was honored with the Best Actress award for her role in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival.

As reported by Woman’s Day, the actress expresses joy at hearing from her kids and wishes for them to be a part of her life again.

A source shared that it was particularly touching for Nicole to receive a combined message from Bella and Connor, two individuals she hadn’t communicated with in a considerable length of time.

It’s somewhat bitter-sweet that this unfortunate event seems to have reunited her with her grandchildren, but she realizes that if her demise served as a catalyst for this reunion, it would undoubtedly bring joy to her mother’s heart.

As a devoted supporter, I’m sharing this: Nicole herself has expressed her readiness to pause her professional journey to provide her children the very best in their relationship.

Nicole has two kids, Bella and Connor, who she had with her former husband Tom Cruise. They welcomed their daughter for adoption in 1992, followed by their son in 1995.

In 1990, the Hollywood pair tied the knot, but their marriage ended in 2001. Tom is currently co-parenting his 17-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise, with his former spouse Katie Holmes. Nicole, on the other hand, has two children, Sunday Rose (15) and Faith Margaret (13), with her second husband, Keith Urban.

There isn’t much information available on the current connection between Nicole and Bella, along with Connor, given that they apparently remained devoted to their father post-2001 when she parted ways with the Top Gun actor. This loyalty led them to grow up within the disputed Church of Scientology.

In the past few years, Nicole has chosen not to discuss her religious beliefs or familial connections publicly. It is reported that she missed several significant moments in her children’s lives, such as Bella’s wedding at The Dorchester hotel in London back in 2015, despite residing in the city during that time.

Since 2007, the actress from Big Little Lies has not been seen in public with her oldest two kids. It is said that she felt deeply saddened when they failed to show up at her father’s funeral in 2014 and did not attend it.

Back in 2018, during my acceptance speech for the Best Actress Golden Globe, I took a moment to express my gratitude towards my biological children and my second spouse, Keith Urban. However, amidst the heartfelt acknowledgments, I found myself forgetting to mention Connor and Bella – my two wonderful stepchildren who hold a significant place in our family.

Although the actress seldom discusses the couple, preferring to maintain privacy regarding their relationship, she has made a few comments that suggest they have chosen Scientology as part of their lives and do not refer to her as “mom.

Additionally, neither Connor nor Bella were present at the Life Achievement Award ceremony held by Nicole in Los Angeles during April.

On the last day of the Venice Film Festival, Nicole received the Best Actress award for her part in Babygirl, mere hours after her mother, Janelle, had passed away.

Today, I reached Venice, only to learn soon afterward that my stunningly courageous mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, had sadly passed away. This was shared by director Halina Reijn during her victory announcement, as stated by Nicole.

I’m utterly astounded and must rush to my loved ones, yet this recognition truly belongs to her. She molded me, directed me, and ultimately crafted the person I am today.

As a devoted admirer, it’s more than just words for me to have the opportunity to mention her name to each of you, thanks to Halina. The fusion of life and art can be incredibly poignant, and it leaves me feeling deeply moved. My heart aches for all of you.

For a number of years, Nicole has shared a very tight bond with her cherished mother, Janelle, and frequently discussed how her mother’s encouragement and impact have been instrumental in her professional journey.

Nicole hails from Honolulu and grew up in Sydney under the care of her mother, Janelle, and her late father, Antony (who passed away in September 2014), who was a psychologist by profession.

Following their stay in the United States, the star of Moulin Rouge and her sister Antonia spent a significant portion of their youth in Sydney.

As a teen, I found my calling in the world of acting, a passion that ignited within me and was fueled by the unwavering support of my loving parents. Together, we embarked on a journey that led me to international stardom.

Over the years, they’ve consistently been an integral part of her professional journey, and more recently, Nicole has openly shared that she continues to seek her mom’s counsel.

In November, it was revealed that Big Little Lies’ star frequently sought fashion advice from her mom, Janelle, even though she collaborates with numerous styling professionals.

In a show of their strong connection, Nicole shared with People that “my mom remains deeply involved in my fashion choices.

In September 2014, when Nicole’s beloved father, Antony, passed away at the age of 75 due to a heart attack, she felt deeply saddened because they shared an equally strong bond.

Previously, the Academy Award-winning actress openly shared that the unexpected passing of her father, along with a series of subsequent losses, left a profound impact on her life.

She shared with the Sydney Morning Herald in 2020 that death has come to her unexpectedly. Unlike some who have experienced a drawn-out process of watching someone die, she has only known people being taken away from her.

It’s occurred multiple times, and I find myself hesitant to even mention it due to the recurring anxiety that it might happen once more. I remain quite apprehensive about it.
