Nicole Kidman’s Emotional Tribute to Late Mother on Her 85th Birthday Will Leave You in Tears

BBG News

On what should have been her 85th birthday, Nicole Kidman paid an emotional tribute to her mom, Janelle.

The well-known Australian actress, aged 57, shared a heartwarming picture of her mom and dad, Antony, on Instagram, both sporting warm smiles.

‘Missing Mumma and Papa so much on what would have been her birthday today,’ Nicole wrote.

Many of her friends and followers flocked to the comments to offer her words of support.

‘Tough days to navigate, that’s for sure. Sending love to you,’ one wrote.

‘Sending so much love… you look just like the perfect mix of them,’ another person commented.

Janelle passed away at the age of 84 in September, mere hours prior to Nicole receiving the Best Actress award for her performance in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival.

Nicole was forced to return to her native Sydney to be with her family after the devastating news. 

Today, I stepped foot in the enchanting city of Venice, only to learn moments later that my stunningly radiant and courageous mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, had taken her final bow. In a touching moment following my victory, I shared this heartbreaking news through a statement, delivered by the graceful Halina Reijn.

Although I’m utterly astonished and need to be with my loved ones, this recognition truly belongs to her. She molded me, directed my path, and essentially made me who I am.

I’m deeply appreciative for the opportunity to mention her name to everyone, thanks to Halina. The intersection of life and art is profoundly moving, and it leaves me feeling emotionally overwhelmed. We care deeply for each one of you.

Nicole received support from Keith, along with their children Sunday Rose (aged 16) and Faith Margaret (aged 14), during the funeral service for Janelle.

In December, she shared the final words spoken by her deceased mother during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning in the United States.

She said Janelle told her to ‘take care of yourself’.

In her last words to me before I boarded the plane, Mom advised me to pause for a moment, explaining that it was crucial for me to prioritize my own wellbeing, which she expressed as “Nicky.

The Hollywood actress said she has since taken her mother’s advice to heart.

She mentioned that she does it more often and shares this with others around the globe, especially women. She believes we have a tendency to neglect our own well-being, focusing on helping others instead, leaving ourselves as the last priority.

Additionally, it was not just Nicole’s mother, Janelle, who offered wise counsel within their family; there were other women as well who provided sage advice to Babygirl (Nicole).

‘My grandmother left me with “Be happy” and my mother said “Take care of yourself.”‘
