Let’s talk about Nicole Kidman for a moment. She’s not just an Emmy-winning star at the top of her game in Hollywood; she’s also a deeply grounded person who always puts her family first. According to The Daily Telegraph, the 50-year-old actress is taking a break from her jam-packed schedule to return to Australia. Why? Well, it’s because of the passing of a very special person in her life—her family friend and parish priest, Father Paul Coleman. Nicole, who’s married to Keith Urban, is expected to be back in Australia within the next few days to honor his memory.
A Lifetime of Memories with Father Paul Coleman
Now, let’s dive into the significance of Father Paul Coleman in Nicole’s life. This man wasn’t just any priest—he was a cornerstone of the Kidman family. He performed Nicole’s confirmation when she was just 12 years old, and he even played a pivotal role in her 2006 wedding to Keith Urban. Father Paul Coleman passed away on September 25 at the age of 90. His funeral will take place at St Mary’s Church in North Sydney next week. It’s a reminder that even when you’re at the peak of your career, family and loved ones always come first. Nicole recently won an Emmy for her outstanding performance as the lead actress in "Big Little Lies," proving that her career is soaring higher than ever.
Grounded Amidst Fame and Fortune
Even with all her achievements, Nicole Kidman remains one of the most down-to-earth celebrities in Hollywood. Her focus has always been on the people she loves. During her Emmy acceptance speech, she was criticized for not mentioning her two older adopted children, Bella and Connor Cruise. But what she did say was heartfelt and genuine. Nicole expressed her gratitude to her "huge artistic family" who have supported her through thick and thin. She also made sure to acknowledge her role as a mother and wife, dedicating her award to her two daughters with Keith Urban, Sunny and Faith.

I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith,” she said, referring to her children with Keith. “This is yours. I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go, ‘Every time my mama didn’t put me to bed, it’s because of this. I got something!’”
