Nicole Kidman Reacts to Unusual Question About Her Children
When you've been a Hollywood A-lister for as long as Nicole Kidman has been, you've been asked just about every question in the book. Or at least, that's what it must feel like, since Kidman was recently asked a new question that totally caught her off guard. Don't worry though, it wasn't a "gotcha" moment from an overzealous reporter, but instead a thoughtful question that made the proud mother dig deep to deliver an insightful answer.

The interesting moment happened while Kidman was talking to Allure magazine. During the interview, the conversation turned to Kidman's late mother Janelle Ann Kidman, who passed in 2024, when the reporter asked Kidman if she liked who she herself was as a mother.
Kidman was immediately taken aback and confessed that she had never been asked anything like that before.
"I do, actually. Yeah," she eventually revealed. "I'm very close to both my girls. I sit on their beds and discuss the most intimate things; I get to be their guide. If they want to tell me to be quiet, they can."
The actor went on to expand on her answer, offering even more insight into their shared bond, saying, "I'm able to apologize to them. I'm able to stand up to them. I very much like the relationship we have. It's nice to be able to say that."
Kidman actually has four children. Two from her marriage to ex-husband Tom Cruise, who she rarely talks about or is seen with, and then her two teens that she shares with her husband Keith Urban.
It sound like Kidman has worked hard to get to this point with her younger daughters, and she has every right to be proud of the mother she's become. Kudos to her!

Actor Sean Connery poses as James Bond next to his Aston Martin DB5 during the filming of 'Goldfinger', Switzerland, 1964. Getty Images Reading and travel: This Father's Day, why not combine the two passions into the ultimate luxury vacation? Some of the planet's finest vacation spots have also served as the inspiration — often literally — for the best books ever written. Here are 11 destination ideas for dads who love a good luxury vacation as much as a good book. GoldenEye Villa on Jamaica's northern coast, Fleming spots a field guide to the Birds of the West Indies and borrows the name of its author: Bond. (c) Giovanni Damiani / Island Oupost Images The year is 1952. An aspiring British novelist, Ian Fleming, needs to name the titular character of his first book, Casino Royale. As he sits in the corner of a room at the present-day GoldenEye Villa on Jamaica's northern coast, Fleming spots a field guide to the Birds of the West Indies and borrows the name of its author: Bond. James Bond. Today, the GoldenEye's main villa sleeps up to 10 people in its three bedrooms, each with tropical garden baths. Two standalone guest cottages, Sweet Spot and Pool House, sleep two adults comfortably. The famed property advertises a private beach, personal butler and housekeeper — perfect for the dad who lives (or aspires to live) a confidential lifestyle. The Flying Stag bar at The Fife Arms in Braemar, nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, is one of two hotel bars on the property. The Fife Arms Through 10 novels, multiple generations of family members, and lots of time travel, Diana Gabalon's Outlander series spins a romantic image of the Scottish Highlands. To relish its present form, send dad to The Fife Arms in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Opened in 2018, the hotel features 46 one-of-a-kind rooms and suites, two restaurants, and two bars: a whisky bar with more than 500 bottles and a cocktail bar inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli. The Fife Arms also brings the Outlander world to life with its extraordinary art collection (more than 16,000 antiques and artworks adorn the property), roaring fireplaces, and richly layered sense of place. No time travel required. NoMad London is the former Bow Street Police Station, where Oscar Wilde was detained and tried NoMad London NoMad London, a luxurious 91-room boutique hotel, now home to tourists around the globe, was once the Bow Street Police Station that detained Oscar Wilde. Step back in time and appreciate the adaptive reuse — One wing of the original holding cells has been preserved and converted into guest rooms. The hotel weaves Wilde's legacy throughout: portraits by Napoleon Sarony hang in the Twenty8 NoMad restaurant, and subtle nods to his work can be found in the hotel's library. Guests can also visit the adjoining Bow Street Police Museum, which offers deeper insight into the building's storied past and its famous former occupants. Shangri-La The Shard, London is offering Bees in Bloom Tea at TĪNG Restaurant and Lounge on Level 35 Shangri-La The Shard, London One of London's most celebrated luxury hotels, the Shangri-La The Shard, London, is offering the Bees in Bloom Tea at TĪNG Restaurant and Lounge on Level 35.

Beach villa cottage at the Hotel del Coronado. that Baum found both refuge and inspiration for The Wizard of Oz. Hotel del Coronado Between 1904 and 1917, L. Frank Baum made frequent winter pilgrimages to Coronado Island, often taking up residence at the Hotel del Coronado. It was here, off the coast of San Diego, that Baum found both refuge and inspiration. He completed three books in the Oz series during this period: Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (1908), The Road to Oz (1909), and The Emerald City of Oz (1910). Beyond writing, Baum left a literal imprint on the hotel itself, designing the crown-shaped chandeliers that still hang in the Crown Room today — an idea he pitched to the hotel's manager, insisting the space needed something more regal. In a 1905 poem, Baum captured the island's enduring appeal: 'And every day her loveliness shines pure, without a flaw; new charms entrance our every glance, and fill our souls with awe!' The Hotel del Coronado, opened in 1888 and now a National Historic Landmark, remains a favorite for travelers chasing both the ocean breeze and echoes of the past. For a splurge, send dad to an exclusive Beach Village cottage with ocean views, and dinner at 1500 Ocean, where the menu matches the setting: elevated, coastal, and unhurried. Caernarfon Castle is located in Gwynedd, north-west Wales and was built in the late 11th century. Shutterstock Send Dad through the looking glass and explore Wales through the eyes of Lewis Carroll. The British author and poet was inspired to write Alice in Wonderland by the real-life Alice Liddell, whose family vacationed in the beach town of Llandudno. The Liddells' summer home was located in Penmorfa, about three hours south, and the rugged coastal landscapes spanning the region will inspire even the most veteran globetrotter. The Jane Austen 250th anniversary tour ends with a stay at The Bird, a charming hotel in Bath The Bird, Bath Active England's immersive Wonderland Trail ($4,999 per person) takes travelers through Wales in Carroll's footsteps: the myth-rich peaks of the Brecon Beacons, walking behind a waterfall, indulging in a private whiskey tasting, exploring centuries-old cathedrals, and experiencing a private seaside choir performance. The seven-day tour takes guests by foot and by train to some of Carroll's favorite locales, with stays at the best boutique hotels along the way. For this itinerary, enquire through the website. Active England also offers the Jane Austen 250th Anniversary Tour ($3,600 per person), which celebrates the novelist with a 6-day curated guided tour across London to Winchester and Southampton, to New Forest and Bath. Walk right up to Jane Austen's house in Chawton, where she lived and wrote her novels, and visit her final resting place, the Winchester Cathedral. The tour ends in Bath, which is mentioned in each of Austen's six novels. Charming accommodations like the Wykeham Arms and The Bird in Bath offer dad a local retreat off the beaten tourist path. Pool view of the Ocean Key Resort and Spa in Key West Ocean Key Resort and Spa Ernest Hemingway lived in Key West, Florida from 1928-39, and wrote or completed some of his most famous works here — A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon, and To Have and Have Not, which was set in Key West.

Browse the lounge library and order a rum-based cocktail flight featuring Papa's Pilar from the Hemingway Rum Company. At the Bungalows Key Largo, guests immerse themselves in the legacy of Ernest Hemingway at the Hemingway Bogie and Bacall's for fine dining (Hemingway and Bacall had a brief marriage) and on-site restaurant Fish Tales, inspired by Hemingway's love for deep-sea fishing in the Florida Keys.

Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Located four blocks from Grand Central Station, the property blends modern and vintage, luxury and functionality. Its 288 rooms are highlighted by five suites, including the 784-square-foot penthouse. Dad will enjoy a visit to the Morgan Library and Museum next door. Originally the private library of financier J.P. Morgan when it opened in 1924, it's now one of the world's greatest collections of illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, and literary manuscripts — and free to the public. Morgan found the American Dream in New York and, more than a century later, is still synonymous with wealth. Gatsby could only dream of it.

The gorgeous Hotel Monteleone, located in the French Quarter, is where many storied authors sought as their hideout when visiting New Orleans. © James Shaw 2015 New Orleans is a writer's haven. Between its longstanding reputation as a multicultural hub for arts and music, and the quirky and infamous characters who have walked its famous streets, New Orleans always has a story to tell. It's also a great place to sit and write a book: Anne Rice, Truman Capote, William Faulkner, John Kennedy Toole, Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and Eudora Welty are among the many famous authors who have called New Orleans home, if even as a hideaway for writing their literary tomes.
