NICOLE CALLS IN THE LAWYERS
The star appeared stressed while out in Sydney
For Nicole Kidman, the past year has been wild. She and husband Keith Urban have uprooted their idyllic family life in Tennessee and returned to Australia, where the actress has revelled in spending more time with her 80-year-old mum Janelle and sister Antonia, 50.
Keith, 53, meanwhile, is believed to have travelled between here and the US “a couple of times”, with a source saying he’s “changed his mind on wanting to live in America” as COVID ravages the country, crippling the music industry.
We’re told the couple, who were once involved in a tense standoff over where to live, are now “on the same page” about wanting to stay in Australia for the foreseeable future – but that “it’s opened a whole new can of worms” for them.
“Moving their entire life from the States to Australia is not as easy as you may think, even with endless amounts of money,” says our source. “In fact, having all that wealth makes it harder as they have to navigate US tax laws, which are confusing, given they’ll still be earning royalties and property revenue in America. It’s a minefield and I have no doubt she’ll be consulting an army of lawyers over how to handle it all.”

Indeed, Nic, 53, was spotted last week visiting an office tower in the Sydney suburb of Miranda, which houses a law firm offering a wide range of specialist services, along with several medical practices. “She seemed very lost in thought,” reports an onlooker. “No one is commenting on who she was there to visit, but it was strange Keith wasn’t with her.”
Days later, Nicole also took a solo trip to a Sunday church service in Sydney.
Woman’s Day understands the family have been spending most of their time at their Southern Highlands home, with a source adding, “They’ll be in Sydney more while Keith works on The Voice. They can’t wait to tie up loose ends so they can really focus on life in Australia.”
She set the dancefloor alight in the first-ever season in 2004, and now it appears
Bec Hewitt is ready for her encore, as she prepares to take another twirl around the ballroom floor on
Dancing With The
Stars: All Stars.
In these exclusive first pictures, Bec, 37, was spotted sneaking into The Space Dance & Arts Centre in Melbourne recently, seeming to confirm swirling rumours she’s set to appear in the Seven reboot.
According to our spy, Bec has been frequenting the venue in recent weeks, with confirmed celebrities Ada Nicodemou, 43, Tom Williams, 50, and Fifi Box, 43, also being spotted heading into rehearsals for the show.
While the mum-of-three attempted to go under the radar, covering up in a black hoodie and leggings, our spy says she appeared to be wearing stage makeup, which suggests she may be filming her rehearsals, too.
The sighting marks Bec’s first major step back into prime-time TV since taking the DWTS crown in 2004 alongside professional dance partner – and model Rachael Finch’s husband – Michael Miziner.
For years, Bec put her career on hold to sit on the sidelines and cheer on tennis player husband Lleyton, 40. However her love for dance has never waned, and she’s encouraged her daughters Mia, 15 and Ava, 10, to pursue dancing as well.
