Nicole Kidman shares photos of feeding baby lambs on farm
Nicole Kidman found the cutest way to spend her holiday season.
Kidman, 56, took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, December 27, to share photos of herself bottle-feeding baby lambs at what appeared to be her and husband’s Keith Urbans farm in Australia. “Holiday chores,” she captioned the sweet snaps.
The Oscar winner opted for a relaxed look on a chilly winter day, wearing black leggings, a navy blue puffer coat and a pair of white sneakers. She completed the outfit with a dark blue baseball cap and pulled her hair back into a low bun.
Kidman and Urban, 56, bought their Bunya Hill estate, located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, in 2008. The property covers approximately 111 hectares and reportedly cost $6.5 million.
Amanda Seyfried and more stars who have chickens as pets
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Jennifer Garner and more celebrities have expanded their families with pet chickens. “She’s always wanted chickens,” the Duke of Sussex said of his wife during their CBS tell-all interview in March 2021, during which he gave a tour of their chicken coop. Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, who then moved to California in 2020 […]
The couple, who tied the knot in 2005, share daughters Sunday, 15, and Faith, 12, and typically split their time between their farm and their hometown in Nashville. When speaking with Fashion in 2015, Kidman explained that the “simplicity,” “air,” and “peace” the family finds on the farm initially drew them there. (Kidman is also mom to daughter Bella, 31, and son Connor, 28, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)
The two-story Georgian mansion is equipped with 10 marble fireplaces, a billiards room and a library. However, Kidman noted that her favorite part of the farm is the family’s “six alpacas, chickens that produce fresh eggs, Black Angus cows and an orchard that supplies Kidman with fruit to make homemade jam.” She added that Urban’s music is “perfect for this rural activity we have with cows grazing in the backyard.”
In January 2020, Kidman and Urban learned that their home was threatened by bushfires that were devastating Australia. While attending a Golden Globe event in Los Angeles at the time, Kidman apologized to reporters for being “so distracted” by “everything that’s going on” in her home country.
Hours later, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that Kidman looked “tired and sad” after finding out her home was in danger and was “crying” before walking the red carpet. (Kidman’s rep later confirmed to us that her home was not affected by the fire.)
The news came shortly after she and Urban announced they were donating $500,000 to support those fighting the wildfires. “Our family’s support, thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the fires across Australia,” the duo wrote via Instagram. “We are donating $500,000 to the rural fire service, who are all doing and giving so much right now.”
Padma Lakshmi, Katie Couric, more stars growing their own food
Green fingers alert! While some stars prefer to frequent the trendy restaurants in Los Angeles, New York City and beyond, others choose to live a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle and grow some of their own food. Take Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed, for example. The famous couple does everything they can to be ‘connected’ […]
The terrifying fires of 2020 weren’t the first time Kidman and Urban gave back to their community. In 2018, the couple pledged $100,000 to the Farm Aid Telethon to help drought-affected farmers fighting for their livelihoods. During an appearance on the Today show, Kidman said: “We love Australia and we recognize that there has been a crippling drought crisis and rural communities are struggling very, very hard now, so we want to do our bit.”
