Is Nicole Kidman trying to turn her teenage daughter into the next supermodel? The Oscar-winning actress just spilled some seriously touching tea about her late mother’s advice on letting Sunday Rose strut down the runway, and honey, we are NOT ready for these feelings.
The 59-year-old Aussie icon opened up to Entertainment Tonight about a heart-to-heart conversation she had with her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, before the matriarch’s passing. And let’s be real—this is the kind of mother-daughter bonding moment that makes us all reach for the tissues. Nicole revealed that her mom encouraged her to chase her dreams when she was just 14 years old, and now she’s returning the favor for her own kid. “As a mother, I’m just, like, ‘OK.’ My mother let me do my passion that I wanted when I was 14,” the Big Little Lies star confessed, practically channeling her inner mama bear energy.
So basically, Nicole is giving Sunday Rose the green light to pursue modeling—and she’s got her late mother’s blessing to back her up. Talk about a full-circle moment! It’s clear that Nicole is breaking the cycle of overprotective parenting and instead choosing to support her daughter’s ambitions, just like her own mother did for her. The actress has always been pretty private about her kids, but this revelation shows us that she’s definitely a “follow your dreams” kind of parent.
The fashion and entertainment world is absolutely buzzing about this development. Sunday Rose is already turning heads at family events and red carpets, so it’s only a matter of time before we see her on magazine covers and fashion week runways. Some fans are praising Nicole for being progressive and supportive, while others are wondering if the modeling industry is really the best fit for a teenager navigating the spotlight. It’s giving protective parent vibes, but make it work, bestie.
Nicole’s touching tribute to her late mother proves that the best gift a parent can give is permission to pursue their passion. And honestly? That’s the kind of legacy we all want to leave behind. RIP to Janelle Ann Kidman—you raised one hell of a woman.
What do you think? A) Nicole is a supportive queen for letting Sunday Rose model B) She should keep her daughter out of the spotlight longer
