The "Snub" in Black and White: The Elle Australia Interview

In her first major fashion publication feature, Sunday Rose credited her mother with being a "key part of everything" she does and shared industry advice regarding professionalism and gratitude. While the article's introduction identified her as the daughter of both Kidman and Urban, the country star was not referenced again throughout the profile. Insiders allege that seeing the omission "in black and white" has been particularly jarring for Urban, who has reportedly felt increasingly marginalized following the finalized divorce settlement.

Post-Divorce Dynamics and Custody Arrangements

The 2026 split between Urban and Kidman shocked fans, ending nearly two decades of one of Hollywood’s most stable partnerships. According to the divorce settlement finalized earlier this year, Kidman retains primary custody of Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret, while Urban was granted visitation on alternating weekends. This shift in domestic structure has allegedly complicated the father-daughter relationship, with sources suggesting that Urban feels "erased" as his daughters navigate their new life primarily under their mother’s influence.

Nicole Kidman Breaks Silence on Family Unity

Despite the reported tension, Nicole Kidman recently addressed the breakup for the first time in an interview with Variety. The Big Little Lies star maintained a diplomatic stance, emphasizing her commitment to keeping the family "as is" and moving forward with respect. "I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be," Kidman stated, refusing to discuss further details of the split out of respect for her ex-husband and children. Her comments align with her "unexpected" Met Gala appearance earlier this year, where she signaled a new, independent chapter of her career.
