Sunday Rose Kidman, 17, attends Miu Miu show in Paris as her parents confirm divorce
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s daughter Sunday Rose stepped out in style at the Miu Miu fashion show in Paris, just days after her parents confirmed the end of their 19-year marriage.
The 17-year-old made a polished appearance at the Paris Fashion Week event on Monday, posing for photographers in a chic, understated outfit. She paired black trousers with a brown jumper and distressed leather jacket, finishing the look with sleek black shoes and a designer handbag. Sunday kept her makeup natural and wore her long hair loose, exuding quiet confidence despite the intense media spotlight surrounding her family.
The teenager’s appearance comes amid the high-profile separation of her parents, announced last week. On Tuesday, Nicole Kidman filed to end her marriage to Keith Urban, citing irreconcilable differences. The announcement brought to a close one of Hollywood’s most enduring relationships, a partnership once regarded as one of showbusiness’s most stable and affectionate unions.
Sunday, the couple’s eldest daughter, appeared undeterred by the public scrutiny. She returned to work just a day after the divorce filing, walking in the Christian Dior spring-summer presentation at Paris Fashion Week. The model later shared a short video clip of her runway moment with the caption “j’adore Dior”, tagging the creative team behind the show.
Sources close to the family say the split has been painful for Kidman, who reportedly remains in Nashville with Sunday and her younger daughter Faith, 14. Urban, meanwhile, is said to have moved into a separate property in Music City, and has shown “no signs” of seeking reconciliation, according to reports.
A Nashville music industry source told the Daily Mail that rumours were circulating about Urban’s involvement with a younger woman in the music business, though no details have been confirmed. “It’s all everyone is talking about,” the source said. “Everyone wants to know who, but so far, that’s a mystery.”
Kidman, 58, was previously married to Tom Cruise for 11 years, from 1990 to 2001. The couple adopted two children together — Isabella, now 32, and Connor, 30. Her marriage to Urban, which began in 2006, had long been described as a grounding force in her life. The pair met in Los Angeles at an event for Australian artists and married shortly after, going on to raise their daughters largely away from Hollywood’s glare in Tennessee.
Friends of the Oscar-winning actress say the breakdown of the relationship has left her “heartbroken,” particularly after enduring months of speculation about marital strain while Urban was on his High and Alive World Tour. The country star, who has spent much of the year performing internationally, was last seen publicly with Kidman in June, when the couple attended a FIFA World Cup match in Nashville.
While the pair have maintained public decorum since the split, those close to Kidman say she has found the rumours of Urban’s possible new relationship difficult to process. “The idea of him moving on so soon has been hard for her,” one insider said.
Kidman and Urban share a $4 million compound in Nashville, where they lived with their daughters. As the couple moves forward with the separation, Sunday Rose appears to be forging her own path in the fashion world. Her recent string of high-profile appearances — from Dior to Miu Miu — signal a career taking shape independent of her parents’ fame.
Despite the personal turmoil surrounding her family, Sunday has been praised by industry insiders for her professionalism and poise. “She’s elegant, calm, and focused — a natural in front of the camera,” one Paris Fashion Week insider told Vogue Australia.
