Nicole Kidman opened up about her family life and successful career in a new interview with WSJ. Magazine this week, where she touched upon her close relationship with her late father, Dr Antony Kidman, who sadly passed away in 2014. In a quick-fire round of questions for the publication, the Big Little Lies actress revealed that when it came to having dinner with anyone – dead or alive – she would always pick her dad. "My dad, who's not around anymore. He died, and I would love to have dinner with him again," she said. Keith Urban's wife was devastated when her dad passed away unexpectedly at the age of 75 after suffering from a heart attack.

In the interview, Nicole also opened up about her relationship with her mum, Janelle, and sister Antonia. Discussing her upbringing and being surrounded by strong women, she said: "I was raised pretty much [by women], I had a wonderful father, but the sex in our family is female. I have a sister, I have daughters, I have a very strong mother, I have aunts." The mother-of-four even has a secret language with Antonia, which her Undoing's co-star Hugh Grant has previously described as "intimidating".

While Nicole tends to keep her family life out of the spotlight, the star shared a lovely family photo on Instagram of herself with her mum and sister in March to mark International Women's Day. Alongside the picture, the mother-of-four wrote: "We can always use more opportunities to celebrate the deeply special women in our lives. Thinking of my beautiful mumma and sister @AntoniaKidman today for International Women's Day." The star also paid tribute to her late father in December, on what would have been his birthday. Nicole shared a lovely photo of the pair together, alongside the message: "Today would have been my Papa’s 81st birthday. I love and remember him every day."
