Nicole Kidman’s adult children, Bella and Connor Cruise, have reportedly been a major source of support following her split from Keith Urban. Sources say the siblings never approved of the marriage and encouraged their mother to finally walk away, believing the relationship was emotionally draining her. Bella, in particular, urged Nicole to take legal steps after witnessing the toll the marriage had taken during their time together in London.
Insiders claim Kidman had been trying to hold the marriage together for years, but it was “sucking the soul out of her.” Bella and Connor reportedly felt Urban wasn’t right for their mother and struggled to understand why she stayed, especially after his early rehab stint. Since the divorce, Nicole’s relationship with her older children has improved, with sources saying the split may ultimately strengthen their bond.
Meanwhile, Urban is said to be struggling emotionally following the breakup, with reports suggesting he has been isolating himself and possibly seeing someone new. Nicole, on the other hand, is focusing on healing, work, and her family. Friends say she’s in a healthier mindset now, embracing this chapter as a transition rather than a loss, and leaning on her children as she moves forward.
