'A very strong bond': Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley, 27, announces she is moving to London to be 'a little closer' to famous aunt
Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley is moving to London to pursue her journalism career - and to put less distance between herself and her famous family.
The 27-year-old is the daughter of the Australian Oscar winner's only sister, Antonia Kidman and late businessman Angus Hawley.
She will begin her new life in the United Kingdom's capital next month with her long-term partner Henry Poole.
Hawley, who has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Sydney, hopes to land a sought-after role in the media.
On Saturday, she joked she followed Antonia's journalism career because she had not inherited her world-famous aunt's acting talent.
'I wish I had that talent. I feel like that would have made things really great if I was an amazing actress, but unfortunately I have chosen a much, less lower paying profession," Hawley told the Daily Telegraph.
The aspiring TV presenter was also excited to move closer to Nicole and her daughters, and Sunday Rose, 16, Faith Margaret, 14.
"Being a little closer to my aunty and cousins is a real comfort... it's been nice to go over to Nashville and visit family. We have a very strong bond."
Hawley recently celebrated Easter at Nicole's 10,925-square-foot Nashville residence.
She will report for presenting partner Shark Beauty at Australian Fashion Week this week, capturing vox pop content with Shark Beauty guests, designers, and backstage stylists.
The rising media personality was replaced by Bachelor star Bella Velaris as the 'face' of 7Bravo, where she interviewed celebrities on the red carpet as part of the channel's "Live From E!" segments, in February 2023.
She has enjoyed a charmed rise through the competitive media landscape in Sydney after completing a coveted internship at Vogue Australia and then joining Nine Honey.
Hawley is often on the other side of the red carpet attending high-profile events with her famous aunt, including Kidman's recent AFI Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony in Los Angeles.
At the glitzy event, she rubbed shoulders with Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, and Michelle Pfeiffer and posed for photos with Nicole.

Hollywood icons become owners of Aussie sports team
Australia's ocean dominance has got a Hollywood upgrade as Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds became co-owners of the country's three-times champion SailGP team, now rebranded as the BONDS Flying Roos. The investment adds star power to the Australian outfit who have dominated the global sailing championship, winning a trio of titles in four seasons of the high-speed racing series. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' Jackman and Reynolds said in a statement. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing.' The move comes just days after Oscar winner Anne Hathaway sailed into sports ownership, joining a female-led consortium who acquired the Red Bull Italy SailGP Team in what circuit CEO Russell Coutts called 'another significant milestone in SailGP's growth as a league'.

'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport,' said Tom Slingsby, who serves as driver, CEO and co-owner of the Flying Roos. SailGP director Andy Thompson added: 'Today marks a landmark moment not just for the Australia team, but for the trajectory of SailGP globally,' highlighting the 'extraordinary combination of global reach, vision, commercial nous' the Hollywood duo bring. The newly minted Flying Roos will debut under their star-studded ownership at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix on June 7-8, where they aim to defend their position atop the championship leaderboard.

Ryan Reynolds & Hugh Jackman join Anne Hathaway in investing in SailGP by buying Australian team
Australia's ocean dominance has got a Hollywood upgrade as Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds became co-owners of the country's three-times champion SailGP team, now rebranded as the BONDS Flying Roos. The investment adds star power to the Australian outfit who have dominated the global sailing championship, winning a trio of titles in four seasons of the high-speed racing series. SailGP, spruiked as Formula One on water and started in 2019, consists of 12 teams racing at 100km/h in 50-foot catamarans in harbours around the world starting in Perth next January and culminating in a grand final in Abu Dhabi. Reynolds is already the co-owner of the Wrexham AFC with Hollywood comedic star Ron McElhenney. The pair bought the club for US$2.5 million in 2021. The club achieved back-to-back promotions from the fifth tier of the English football system and is now worth US$475 million. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' Jackman and Reynolds said in a statement. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing.'

Sydney fine-diner moves up in the World's 50 Best Restaurants longlist
In late May, Mindy Woods – owner-chef of Karkalla On Country near Byron Bay – received the World's 50 Best Restaurants Champions of Change Award. Woods, a Bundjalung woman, was the first Indigenous woman to appear on MasterChef Australia. She was named a Champion of Change for using her platform to blend cultures and empower the community, and cultivate a more inclusive food industry that supports minority voices. Meanwhile, Central Otago destination diner Amisfield became the first New Zealand restaurant to appear on the World's 50 Best list in its 23-year-history, scraping in at 99th. It is unlikely any other Australian venues will feature on the list, which last year crowned Barcelona's Disfrutar as the 'world's best restaurant'. (A four-hour tasting menu at Disfrutar costs around $500 before drinks and may feature a dish called 'Fear: The Prawn', where guests are asked to hunt through dry-ice vapour with bare hands to retrieve the shellfish.)
