Nicole finally opens up about ALL her children

The Truth About My Kids

Nicole Kidman is an open book when it comes to her love for her husband Keith Urban. But when asked about her four children – Bella, Connor, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret – she’s always been determined to keep mum.

For years there have been rumours about the two children she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise, following their decision to stay with their dad in the wake of her bitter split from Tom in 2001. There have also been ongoing reports the actress doesn’t see Bella or Connor, who have dedicated themselves to Scientology, the controversial religion for which their dad is the celeb poster boy.

Nicole, 50, has done nothing to quell speculation by remaining close-lipped about their relationship. Recently, however, she finally set the record straight.

The actress revealed she regularly texts Bella, 24, and Connor, 22, and says she took her role in the recent film Lion – in which she plays an Aussie mum who adopts a little boy from India – as an homage to their relationship. She said the movie – which got her an Oscar nod – was “a love letter to my children.”
