Nicole Kidman shares parenting sacrifices on Lioness set and late mother's modeling advice

Actress Nicole Kidman said she frequently flies home from the Texas shoot of season three of Paramount's series Lioness to be with her teenage daughters, Sunday (18) and Faith (15), after finalising her divorce from Keith Urban. The custody agreement makes her the primary residential parent, with Urban receiving limited parenting time.

Kidman also recounted a conversation with her late mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, who encouraged her to let daughter Sunday pursue a modeling career. She said her mother’s parting words were, “You did it, so you can let her follow her passion.” The actress highlighted both the personal sacrifices required for her new supporting role on Lioness and the emotional support she received from her mother before her passing.
