Nicole Kidman was spotted soaking up the sun on a beautiful day at Bondi Beach in Sydney, looking effortlessly chic.
The 57-year-old actress showed off her fit physique as she took a dip in the ocean, wearing a sleek black Ripcurl surf suit.
Her sculpted arms and toned legs were on full display, a testament to her dedication to staying in shape with regular workouts.
It was truly a moment reminiscent of a Baywatch scene as she ran along the shore, looking as youthful and radiant as ever.
A Family Day Out
Nicole wasn’t alone during her beach outing.
She was joined by her husband, Keith Urban, and their daughter, Faith Margaret, who is now 13.
Also spotted were her sister, Antonia, and her family, including her niece Lucia Hawley, who is 26.
This visit to Sydney marks Nicole’s first time back since the passing of her and Antonia’s mother, adding a personal layer to the trip.
A Busy Career and Personal Reflections
Despite her busy schedule, which includes roles in films like Babygirl and the TV series Lioness alongside Zoe Saldana, Nicole has been balancing family life with her career.
She’s currently working on the much-anticipated Kay Scarpetta project, and fans were thrilled to hear about the production via an Instagram update.
Nicole plans to return to filming after the holiday season.
In a reflective moment, Nicole shared that after the birth of her daughter, Sunday, she had considered stepping away from acting entirely.
However, her late mother, Janelle, encouraged her to stay involved in the industry, even if on a smaller scale.
Nicole credits her mom for helping her see that she didn’t have to give up acting completely, despite wanting to focus on family life.
Career Success and Oscar Buzz
Nicole’s career didn’t stop after becoming a mother. She later welcomed another daughter, Faith, via surrogate, and her career continued to thrive.
She earned multiple Oscar nominations for roles in films like Rabbit Hole, Lion, and Being the Ricardos.
Currently, she is receiving Oscar buzz once again for her role in Babygirl, where she plays CEO Romy, who finds herself at a crossroads when she starts an affair with a younger intern.
Nicole is grateful for the Golden Globe nomination, as it shines a spotlight on the film and helps it reach audiences worldwide.
Grieving Her Mother
Nicole has been open about her grief following the death of her mother in September at the age of 84.
She shared that there’s no set timeline for mourning, emphasizing that grief is a personal journey that doesn’t have to adhere to any societal expectations.
“You’re allowed to pass through in waves,” she explained, adding that despite her mother’s age, the loss has still been profoundly difficult.
Prioritizing Health for Her Family
As an “older mother,” Nicole is increasingly focused on her health, a sentiment passed down from her own mother.
Reflecting on her mother’s advice, Nicole has been more intentional about taking care of herself so that she can be there for her daughters, Sunday and Faith.
“I want to be around for a long time,” she said, stressing the importance of self-care, especially for women who often prioritize others over themselves.
In a poignant closing, Nicole recalled her grandmother’s advice to “be happy” and to take care of herself, a reminder she now shares with others, particularly women who may overlook their own well-being.
