Nicole Kidman has come under fire online after sharing a Mother’s Day tribute featuring only two of her four children.
The Oscar-winning actress posted a photo on Instagram showing herself alongside daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, whom she shares with husband Keith Urban.
In the photo, the trio were seen enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by desert scenery as Kidman captioned the post: “My two girls are everything to me.”
While many fans described the post as sweet and heartfelt, others questioned why her adopted children, Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, were not mentioned.
The actress shares Bella and Connor with former husband Tom Cruise, whom she divorced in 2001.
The omission quickly sparked debate online, with some social media users accusing Kidman of overlooking her older children despite their reportedly distant relationship over the years.
Others, however, defended the actress and pointed out that her relationship with Bella and Connor has long remained private, particularly due to their ties to Scientology.
Speculation surrounding Kidman’s estrangement from her eldest children has circulated for years, although both Bella and Connor have largely stayed away from the public spotlight.
Despite the criticism, many supporters argued that social media only offers a small glimpse into a celebrity’s personal life and that the full story behind family dynamics is rarely known publicly.
