In an interview with the Fresh Air podcast in January 2022, Nicole briefly discussed her mother’s health struggles after temporarily moving back to Sydney to support her.
She made the comments after she said she had taken Janelle to the Art Gallery of New South Wales after hours to view the Matisse: Life & Spirit exhibition, which she described as a “soothing balm” during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We are here mainly to take care of my mother and let her enjoy her grandchildren,” she said.
“Luckily, despite Omicron sweeping through this country, we were able to take her to the gallery after hours yesterday and show her the Matisse exhibition. And coming from a mother who raised me in the arts, it was a soothing balm. Matisse was a soothing balm last night.”

Nicole has long had a particularly close bond with her beloved mother Janelle and has often spoken about her support and influence on her career over the years.
Nicole was born in Honolulu and raised in Sydney by her beloved mother Janelle and her psychologist father Antony, who passed away in September 2014.
After living in the United States for a time, the Moulin Rouge star and her younger sister Antonia spent much of their childhood in Sydney.

In a sign of their close bond, Nicole told People, “My mom is still — she’s so involved in what I wear.”
Nicole is known for her bold fashion choices, but shares how it was her mother and grandmother who sparked her love of clothes.
“I love fashion. I’ve always loved fashion,” she enthused while speaking at the launch of Planet Omega pop-up in New York.
“I grew up as a little girl with a grandmother who loved fashion and could sew, and my mother too. They loved beautiful clothes. They could make beautiful clothes,” she continued.
“I’ve seen them sewing, embroidering, knitting, crocheting. And I think when you grow up and see people in your household doing that, you love it.”
Nicole has never been shy about expressing her affection for Janelle, paying a touching tribute on her mother’s 82nd birthday last year.
She posted a photo gallery on Instagram of herself and her family celebrating with Janelle, captioning it with some sweet words.
“Congratulations, Mom. You are so loved by all of us,” Nicole wrote.
