Nicole Kidman may have a celebrated acting career but there's nothing she's more proud of than being a mom.
The 56-year-old Moulin Rouge star has children with both her ex-husband Tom Cruise and her current husband Keith Urban, and she is fiercely private about her kids.
However, over the years Nicole has delighted fans with an insight into her personal life and how she feels about raising her brood.
Join HELLO! as we explore all there is to know about the multi award-winning actress' children.
How old are Nicole Kidman's children?
The Far and Away actress shares two daughters, Sunday Rose, 15, and Faith Margaret, 13, with country music star Keith Urban, her husband of more than 16 years.
She adopted Bella, 31, and Connor, 29, with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
Rather than finding the teenage years a struggle, Nicole recently made a revelation in an interview with Elle USA. "I love teenage girls," she confessed. "I just find them exquisiteI marvel at that age group and what they're dealing with, but also their ability to handle so much."

Nicole became a mom in 1992 when she and her then-husband, Tom, adopted the first of their two children together, Bella. Three years later, the couple adopted their second child, Connor.
Both have gone on to find success, but away from the spotlight. Connor resides in Clearwater, Florida where he's a avid deep-sea fisherman and has also launched his barbecuing business, Connor's Meat Shack.

"You know, she really feels more English," she told Vanity Fair. "We lived there for Eyes Wide Shut, Mission Impossible, and The Portrait of a Lady. They both had English accents when they were little."

Connor did dip his toe in the acting pool but his dalliance didn't last long. Bella prefers to concentrate on her art and often shares some of her incredible work on social media.
Who are Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's children Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret?
Nicole gave birth to Sunday in July 2008 and then had Faith via surrogate in 2010. However, the couple didn't announce news of Faith's birth nor the fact that they had even been expecting a second child until 2011.
Following their announcement, Nicole explained that they had chosen to keep the news a secret in order to protect everyone involved in the process. "I wanted to be able to tell everybody because I was so excited about her," she told an E! News reporter at the SAG Awards in 2011.

Unlike their older half-siblings, who spent a lot of time growing up in the UK, Sunday and Faith have spent their childhood split between their parents' homes in Nashville and Australia.
Nicole has gushed about their idylic and normal family life in Tennessee, telling Elle of their involvement in local communities and at the girl's schools: "I like being a part of something not about my work, not about who I am, none of that. Just a citizen who's in the world. And my kids love that, too, when I do that."

Both of Nicole and Keith's daughters have landed a number of roles as extras over the years, while hanging out on set with their mom.
These have included Big Little Lies and The Undoing. Talking to News.com.au in October 2020, a proud Nicole opened up about her children having roles on the latter project.

Does Nicole Kidman see Bella and Connor?
Over the years there has been speculation over whether Nicole has a relationship with her two oldest children. They are involved in Scientology after being introduced by their dad, but Nicole walked away from the controversial religion.
But when asked if she still speaks to her parents, Bella told New Idea in 2016: "Of course we talk, they're my parents."
© InstagramNicole shone light on their relationship too when she told The Sun in 2019: "Motherhood is about the journey. There are going to be incredible peaks and valleys, whether you are an adopting mother or a birth mother. What a child needs is love."
Nicole added: "They have made choices to be Scientologists. It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love."
Bella and Connor may not talk about their mother publicly but they have become more vocal and present on social media recently.
Neither have been spotted with Nicole in recent years but Bella has 'liked' her mum's recent Instagram posts, suggesting they are in communication under the radar.
What is Tom Cruises' relationship with children Bella and Connor?
Tom has maintained a strong bond with his kids, Bella and Connor.
© Getty ImagesAhead of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was spotted in the UK giving his son an aviation lesson. Around the same time, Bella thanked Tom for helping her to train as an auditor for the Church of Scientology.
"Thank you to my Dad for everything," she wrote in a letter shared with church members. "I would have drowned in my own problems if you hadn’t been there to [support] me or get me through the preliminaries. It took a whole family and an org to get me here."
