Actress Nicole Kidman says she has always tried to view “motherhood as a journey,” and always remember that“love is enough .” In an interview to Tatler magazine, Kidman spoke candidly about raising her children and how she had to rally after her father died despite being beyond shattered, reports dailymail.co.uk. Kidman adopted Isabella, 26, and Connor, 24, with former husband Tom Cruise and is also a mother to daughters Sunday, 11, and Faith, eight, with husband Keith Urban. “I think it’s (motherhood) just a journey. And the first thing is there’s no right and wrong. There’s just different children. I once got this wonderful advice from my grandmother. She said to me, ‘Every child is given some adversity. Where you’re born. What you’re up against. Your parents get divorced. There’s always going to be problems. And the greatest thing is that the love is enough’. I always try to think that. The love is enough,” said the “Big Little Lies” star.
The actress also opened up about the loss of her father, Antony Kidman, in 2014. “My threeyear-old said, ‘But you’re not going to be sad like this tomorrow, are you?’ That’s when you realise, you know, you have to be ‘Ok’. Because they need to know that they’re safe, that their mother isn’t going to fall apart. Inside? I was beyond shattered. But I had to rally,” she recalled.
Kidman added that going through grief has changed her outlook on life. “I jumped in to life. Let’s go on a plane. Let’s try things. Let’s go for it. Because who knows, right? I was never going to do theatre again. I didn’t think my heart could handle the adrenaline and the fear,” she said.

Agence France-presse fascinated by her friend Nicole Kidman’s eating habits. She also reveals Kidman is like a little old lady. Witherspoon has spent a lot of time working with Kidman in recent years after joining her as a co-producer and star of “Big Little Lies”, and she says watching her friend eat is always immense fun, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“She carries around these little bags of snacks all day,” Witherspoon explains, adding: “I make fun of her. She pours hot cocoa on her cappuccino but only eats the foam. She eats weird old lady candies like your grandma had in the candy dish.” Kidman says the butterscotch candies she gobbles remind her of her grandmother, but she insists there’s a health reason behind them: “I have low blood sugar.”
As Witherspoon dished the dirt on her friend’s eating habits, Kidman returned the favour. “I’ll tell you Reese doesn’t like anyone eating off her plate. I have kids so I’m constantly doing that with them, but not Reese,” Kidman revealed, adding: “I had a brother who ate all my food, so I’m like, ‘Don’t eat my food!’” Kidman is an Australian-american actress, singer and producer. She has won awards including an Academy Award, two Primetime Emmy Awards, and five Golden Globe Awards.
