Nicole Kidman recently opened up about the passing of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, who tragically passed away in September, just after Nicole had arrived at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival. In a heartfelt interview on CBS Sunday Morning on December 15, the 57-year-old actress shared the profound final words her mother said to her.
Nicole recalled that before she was about to fly back to be with her mother, Janelle told her, “Maybe wait a minute because I think you just need to take care of yourself right now, Nicky.” Nicole reflected on these words, noting how they have impacted her and encouraged her to focus on self-care. She also emphasized the importance of self-care, particularly for women, explaining that they often neglect their own well-being.
Nicole also shared that her grandmother’s final words were “Be happy,” and how her mother’s last words, “Take care of yourself,” have left a lasting impression on her. As a mother herself, Nicole expressed her desire to honor her mom’s advice, stating that taking care of herself means she can be there for her own children.
“Obviously, I’m an older mother, so I want to be around for a long time for my girls,” Nicole said, expressing her gratitude for her daughters and her commitment to prioritizing her health.
Nicole’s new movie Babygirl will be released on Christmas Day, a project she is clearly passionate about as she navigates this deeply personal moment in her life.
