Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban just marked a major family milestone. Their oldest daughter, Sunday Rose, turned 18 on Tuesday, July 7, officially making the former couple parents to an adult. For longtime fans who watched Kidman and Urban build a family while balancing Hollywood fame and country music stardom, the moment felt emotional, nostalgic and deeply personal.
Even after their highly publicized split, both parents took time to celebrate Sunday’s big day publicly.
According to Taste of Country, Kidman shared rare throwback photos of Sunday as a baby, while Urban posted a more recent image of his daughter from a runway modeling event. It was a quiet but meaningful reminder that although their marriage has ended, their love for their children remains at the center of their family story.
Nicole Kidman Shares Rare Baby Photos of Sunday Rose
Nicole Kidman has always been protective of her daughters’ privacy, which made her birthday tribute to Sunday especially touching.
To celebrate her daughter’s 18th birthday, the actress posted two rare baby photos. In one image, Kidman is seen holding Sunday as a baby, dressed in a white outfit with a matching bow. Another photo shows Sunday as a toddler walking across the floor wearing a similar white outfit with angel wings on her back.
The pictures offered fans a rare look back at Sunday’s early childhood — a time Kidman and Urban largely kept away from cameras.
Kidman’s message was simple and emotional.
“Happy 18th my angel,” she wrote. “You couldn’t be more loved.”
For fans, the photos were more than just a birthday post. They were a reminder of how quickly time has passed, and how carefully Kidman and Urban protected their daughters during their younger years.
Keith Urban Marks the Moment With a Proud Dad Message
Keith Urban also celebrated Sunday’s milestone on social media, but he chose a different kind of photo.
Instead of sharing a childhood throwback, the country star posted a recent picture of Sunday at a runway modeling event. His birthday message was short, sweet and full of fatherly affection.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUNCHKIN,” Urban wrote, followed by red balloon emojis. “Love you, Dad.”
The message showed a proud father watching his daughter step into adulthood and begin building a public path of her own.
Sunday Rose has become more visible in recent years as she pursues modeling, making her 18th birthday feel like both a personal milestone and the beginning of a new chapter.
Sunday Rose Is Stepping Into Her Own Spotlight
For most of her childhood, Sunday Rose lived outside the public eye.
That was no accident. Kidman and Urban worked hard to give Sunday and her younger sister, Faith Margaret, a private upbringing despite their parents’ fame.
But in recent years, Sunday has slowly become more visible. She has begun pursuing a modeling career, appearing at runway events and attracting attention from fans who have watched her grow up from a distance.
Her younger sister, Faith Margaret, has also begun making more public appearances. In 2025, Faith appeared with Kidman in an advertising campaign for beauty brand Clé de Peau Beauté.
Both daughters also had small entertainment credits when they were younger. They appeared as uncredited extras on Season 2 of Big Little Lies, which starred Kidman, and they voiced baby birds in Angry Birds 2.
Still, Sunday’s move toward modeling seems to signal something new.
She is no longer just known as the daughter of two famous parents. She is beginning to shape her own public identity.
A Family Milestone After a Public Split
Sunday’s 18th birthday comes after a major change in the Kidman-Urban family.
Kidman and Urban married in 2006 and spent nearly two decades together before their separation became public in September 2025. Their divorce was finalized on Jan. 6, 2026, ending a relationship that many fans had followed for years.
For longtime admirers of the couple, the split was emotional. Kidman and Urban had often been seen as one of entertainment’s most admired cross-world love stories — a Hollywood star and a country music star who built a family together while supporting each other’s careers.
But Sunday’s birthday posts showed that even after divorce, both parents remain connected through their daughters.
The marriage may be over, but the parenting bond continues.
Who Are Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Children?
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcomed Sunday Rose on July 7, 2008. Their second daughter, Faith Margaret, was born via gestational surrogate on Dec. 28, 2010.
Kidman is also mother to two older children, Bella and Connor, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
For years, Sunday and Faith were rarely seen in public. Kidman and Urban made it clear through their choices that they wanted their children to have a childhood that felt as normal as possible, even while their parents lived under constant media attention.
That is part of what makes Sunday’s 18th birthday so meaningful.
It marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another — not only for Sunday, but for the entire family.
Fans React to a Bittersweet New Chapter
For many fans, Sunday’s birthday tribute carried a bittersweet feeling.
On one hand, it was a joyful celebration of a young woman entering adulthood. On the other, it came during the first year after Kidman and Urban’s divorce became final.
That contrast gave the moment extra emotional weight.
The rare baby photos reminded fans of the family’s earlier years, while Urban’s runway photo showed Sunday stepping into her future. Together, the posts told a quiet story about time, change, love and family after divorce.
It was not dramatic.
It was not messy.
It was simply a mother and father celebrating the daughter they both love.

Turning 18 is a major moment for any young person. But for Sunday Rose, it also comes with public attention, famous parents and growing interest in her modeling career.
Still, the birthday messages from Kidman and Urban made one thing clear: behind the headlines, Sunday is still their child.
Kidman looked back at the little girl in angel wings.
Urban looked at the young woman walking into her own spotlight.
And fans saw a family learning how to move forward after change.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban may no longer be husband and wife, but on Sunday Rose’s 18th birthday, they showed the world that family does not end with divorce.
Sometimes, it simply changes shape.
