NICOLE & KEITH RUSH BACK TO OZ
After they spent a relaxed Christmas Down Under, many were surprised to see that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, along with their daughters, had jetted back home to Australia again recently.
The 55-year-old actress flew to Spain via Los Angeles 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 Sydney... for just three days!
We’re told the couple met up in Australia for 72 hours to spend some precious time with Nicole’s ailing mum Janelle.
It’s believed the trio managed to grab a cosy dinner in Sydney together and took their girls, 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 pal, 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.”
