NICOLE & KEITH’S 72 HOURS IN OZ!
After they spent a beautiful Christmas Down Under, many were surprised to see that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, along with their daughters, had jetted back home again recently.
The 55-year-old actress flew to Spain via LA at the end of the festive season for work, leaving hubby Keith, 55, in the US, where he played a string of shows.
But despite them getting back into the swing of things with their respective projects, they were soon back in the Harbour City again!
Stopping by for a whirlwind visit before taking off three days later, sources say the couple met up in Australia to spend more time with Nicole’s ailing mum Janelle.
It’s believed the trio managed to grab a cosy dinner in Sydney together and took their kids Sunday, 14, and Faith, 12, to the beach.
Last year, Nicole confessed she was spending more time with Janelle and trying to look at the world through her 82-year-old eyes. “We’re down here primarily to take care of my mother and to have her surrounded by her grandchildren,” she shared.
Those close to the couple say the globetrotting is taking its toll on Nic – and Keith’s rightfully growing concerned.
“He’s worried that she’s running herself ragged trying to be there for everyone, from her mum to him to the girls to her film industry friends and colleagues,” says a friend, who notes Nicole has signed up for a string of new projects, including a thriller alongside Jamie Lee Curtis.
“He’d love to encourage her to take some time out this year, but he can’t see that happening – she already has a packed film schedule and more plans to commute to Sydney,” says the insider. “He’s lost this one.”
Tessa Gourin, who claims to be the estranged daughter of reclusive Jack Nicholson, has put her alleged father back in the headlines, after revealing the star “wasn’t interested” in having a relationship with his youngest child – who he has publicly never acknowledged.
“I knew he was powerful and Daddy Warbucks-level rich, so I kind of equated my life to being like Orphan Annie’s,” the 28-year-old actress revealed to The Daily Beast.
Tessa says her mother – actress Jennine Gourin, who had a brief affair in the ’90s with Jack, now 85 – encouraged her “not to tell anyone that I have this famous dad”.
