Users Praise Keith Urban for ‘Supporting’ Grieving Wife, Nicole Kidman, During Her Mom’s Funeral

During the actress’s mother’s burial, the Australian country singer supported her in a way that garnered attention.

Nicole Kidman bid her mother, Janelle Kidman, farewell in Sydney with her husband, Keith Urban, and their family. On October 15, 2024, the funeral took place in Lavender Bay’s St. Francis Xavier Church. Pictures of them quickly went viral on the internet, and admirers praised the singer’s disposition throughout this trying time.

Kidman, 57, seemed quite sad as she left the chapel. She was spotted holding hands with her 56-year-old spouse while sporting a long black coat and high-end sunglasses. His resolute posture and manner in this picture demonstrated his backing for the actress.

Kidman’s sister Antonia was also present, as were Kidman’s daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14. Bella and Connor, the actress’s adult children from her former marriage to Tom Cruise, were not present at the event, though.

Kidman’s daughters had a difficult day; Sunday Rose was observed crying before the service. They shared this heartfelt event with their cousins, who offered the bereaved siblings sympathy.

Janelle passed away last month at the age of 84, and this service served as her last farewell. Kidman’s death occurred just hours before she was honored with the Venice Film Festival’s Best Actress prize for her performance in “Babygirl.”

The family paid a moving homage to their late mother on social media shortly after the matriarch’s loss made headlines.

“Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express,” Kidman and her sister wrote in the article. Lastly, as they grieved this loss, they asked that their privacy be protected.

Fans on social media sites praised Urban’s silent courage and presence during the trauma and offered prayers for Kidman as soon as images of the service appeared online.

“So hard for everyone,” a fan wrote. I’m glad her husband is on her side. He must be in pain too 💔💔. [sic]. “Geez he does that all the time,” said another. He always acts like a gentleman.

Similar opinions were expressed by others, who praised Urban’s moral fiber and the closeness of the pair. “What a lovely couple, thank you Mr Urban!!l [sic],” said one user. Just “Well done Keith [sic].” commented another.

We send Kidman, Urban, and their family our sincerest sympathies during this trying time.
