Nicole Kidman has remained out of the spotlight following the sudden death of her mother, Janelle, earlier this month.
However, she is not alone in her grief and is being supported by her husband, Keith Urban, and their two daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13.
Keith and their daughters have been in Australia with Nicole for the last few weeks, but he returned to the US over the weekend for the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
During the event, he shared an update on his wife, revealing that she has been surrounded by her loved ones during this difficult time.
“We’re getting through,” he told E! News. “It brings the family tight together.”
The interviewer then told Keith that Nicole has “a lot of love out there”, to which he responded: “Yeah, she feels it.”

Nicole added: “I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.”
Janelle’s death is not the first time Nicole has lost someone she loves. Her father died in 2014 after suffering a heart attack in Singapore.

Janelle is survived by Nicole and her sister, Antonia
In 2020, she spoke to the Sydney Morning Herald about how “terrified” she is to lose another person suddenly.
“I’ve been given death as a very sudden thing,” she said. “I’ve not nursed someone through a slow death, I’ve just had people taken.”

Nicole has lost several loved ones suddenly
“Stanley [Kubrick, who directed her in Eyes Wide Shut], my friend Robert McCann [in 2005], my father [in 2014] and my brother-in-law [Angus Hawley, in 2015]… we’ve just had people that one minute are here, and then gone,” she candidly added.
“I’ve now had it happen repeatedly; I almost get scared saying it because I get terrified it’s going to happen again. I still have a lot of fear of that.”
