A quiet shift has occurred within the family of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, revealed through the subtle language of social media. Their eldest daughter, Sunday Rose, a rising name in the modeling world with appearances in Elle magazine and on Dior runways, has unfollowed her father on Instagram.
The move, while seemingly small, speaks volumes. Sunday continues to follow her mother, Nicole, a detail noticed amidst the backdrop of her parents’ recent separation. Keith Urban, however, still follows his daughter, and both parents currently maintain a digital connection with each other.
This isn’t the first instance of a perceived distance. Reports surfaced that Keith was deeply affected when Sunday’s recent Elle Australia interview highlighted Nicole as her “biggest inspiration” and a “key part” of her life, with no mention of her father.
Sunday’s words in the interview were effusive about her mother’s influence, describing Nicole as a constant creative force. The omission, according to sources, left Keith feeling “stumped” and questioning his place in his daughter’s narrative.
The unfolding situation arrives seven months after Nicole and Keith publicly announced their divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The split, after 18 years of marriage and two decades together, was a surprise to many.
While the divorce was initially presented as mutual, reports later indicated that Keith was the driving force behind the separation, while Nicole reportedly hoped to salvage the marriage and was actively working to do so.
Nicole and Keith share two daughters: 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret. Faith currently maintains no public social media presence. The family dynamic is further defined by a specific custody arrangement revealed in court documents.
Those documents outlined an unusual parenting plan, granting Nicole primary residential custody of the girls for 306 days of the year. Keith’s time is limited to alternating weekends, from 10 am Saturdays to 6 pm Sundays.
Holidays are also divided, with Nicole having the girls for Mother’s Day and Easter, while Keith will spend Father’s Day and Thanksgiving with them. This arrangement underscores the significant shift in the family’s structure following the divorce.
