As an ardent admirer of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, I have always been captivated by their love story and the harmony they have managed to maintain amidst their bustling lives. The recent news of the loss of Nicole’s mother, Janelle, has undoubtedly cast a somber shadow over their life together, yet it is heartening to see Keith continuing his work with resilience.


On Monday, Keith Urban was seen shooting footage in New York City, marking the first time he’s been publicly spotted since the passing of his wife Nicole Kidman’s mother.

56-year-old country artist maintained a low key appearance, engaging in conversations with film teams during the filming of an enigmatic production, amidst his bustling work schedule.

Keith had a relaxed demeanor, dressed casually in a black New York University t-shirt and worn-out jeans, complemented by a striking black and white bomber jacket.

During his excursion, he wore a pair of white sneakers comfortably and hid his eyes behind square sunglasses while maintaining a low profile.

For the first time since last month when his mother-in-law, who was 84, sadly passed away, Keith has been seen out in public.

Keith recently spent some time in Australia, where he was assisting his spouse Nicole and preparing for his 2024 concert tour. However, he’s now back in the United States to carry on with his work.

Last month, Nicole, 57, confirmed her mother Janelle had died just hours before she won Best Actress for her role in Babygirl on the final day of Venice Film Festival.

In a speech delivered by director Halina Reijn, Nicole shared that she was compelled to go back to her homeland, Australia, due to some distressing developments in Italy.

Today, I reached Venice only to learn moments later that my remarkable, valiant mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, had sadly passed away. This was conveyed through a message she had asked someone else to share for her.

I’m utterly stunned and must rush off to be with my family, yet this accolade is truly for her. She molded me, directed me, and crafted the person I am today.

I’m incredibly thankful to have the opportunity to mention her name here, thanks to Halina. The intersection of life and art is deeply moving, and it leaves me feeling deeply saddened. We care for each one of you greatly.

Nicole has been maintaining a quiet existence since the upsetting announcement, and she’s been cherishing meaningful moments with her sister Antonia and close relatives in her hometown of Sydney.

More recently, she posted an emotional Instagram tribute for her mother, Janelle, accompanied by some previously unpublished photographs of her.

In her post, the actress from The Perfect Couple gratefully acknowledged the sympathies and well-wishes from her numerous admirers and backers as they offered their condolences during this challenging period.

Nicole’s message, shared on behalf of her family, expressed gratitude for the abundance of affection and goodwill they’ve experienced over the past week,

As a lifestyle expert, I can wholeheartedly say that each heartfelt message of love and admiration for our beloved mother has touched us profoundly. Words cannot convey the depth of our gratitude for these expressions; they have become cherished treasures in our hearts.

‘Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other.’

In the past few days, Keith has been questioned, yet he chose not to discuss the matter of Nicole or Janelle’s demise since he prefers to maintain privacy regarding his family affairs.

In response to your query about my loved ones, I happily share that everyone is thriving, thank you for inquiring!

He declined to address the news any further, adding: ‘I just don’t want to give you guys a headline about my wife, Ed.’

Nicole hails from Honolulu initially, but spent her upbringing in Sydney under the care of her mother, Janelle, along with her late psychologist father, Antony, who passed away in September 2014.

Following their time in the United States, the star of Moulin Rouge and her younger sister Antonia largely grew up in Sydney.

As a teen, Nicole nurtured her love for acting and, with the backing of her devoted parents, climbed the ladder to international stardom.

Over the course of several years, they both maintained a close connection to her professional life, with Nicole confessing that she frequently sought her mom’s counsel.

In November, the actress from Big Little Lies shared that she frequently sought fashion advice from her mom, Janelle, even though she consistently collaborates with multiple professional stylists.

In a show of their strong connection, Nicole shared with People that her mother ‘remains actively engaged in my fashion choices’.

Nicole’s bold fashion selections are well-known, yet she often credits her mother and grandmother as the ones who initially kindled her passion for clothing.

She was clearly passionate about fashion, expressing that she has long admired it during her speech at the Planet Omega pop-up event in New York.

She was raised surrounded by two women who had a deep affection for fashion – her grandmother and mother, both skilled seamstresses. These ladies adored elegant clothing, and they possessed the ability to create stunning garments themselves.

‘I watched them sew, embroider, and knit, crochet. And I think when you grow up seeing the people in your household do that, then you love that.’
