Nicole flees America 'WE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS'

THE NEED TO BE WITH FAMILY IN OZ HAS NEVER BEEN GREATER

Three years ago, it looked like it was all systems go for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban to relocate their family back to Australia.

Nic, 55, was telling friends how thrilled she was to be reuniting with her ailing mum, Janelle, and sister Antonia. She and Keith were also said to be looking at schools near their NSW Southern Highlands cattle stud to enrol Sunday, 15, and Faith, 12, in.

Despite Nicole’s obvious excitement, a permanent return from America has so far failed to materialise.

“After the pandemic lockdowns, Keith was keen to get back to touring, and his main market is the US,” a close source explains.

“He understood Nicole’s need to move to Australia, but he wanted to stick around a while longer. They compromised and have visited Sydney several times since. But Nicole’s hankering for home never went away.”
