Nicole Kidman has remained out of the spotlight following the sudden death of her mother, Janelle, earlier this month.
However, she is not alone in her grief and is being supported by her husband, Keith Urban, and their two daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13.
Keith and their daughters have been in Australia with Nicole for the last few weeks, but he returned to the US over the weekend for the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
During the event, he shared an update on his wife, revealing that she has been surrounded by her loved ones during this difficult time.
"We're getting through," he told E! News. "It brings the family tight together."
The interviewer then told Keith that Nicole has "a lot of love out there", to which he responded: "Yeah, she feels it."

"My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week," she wrote on Instagram alongside photos of her late mom.

Nicole first broke the news of Janelle's sudden death at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this month.

It was her director, Halina Rejn who accepted the award on Nicole's behalf and read out a statement written by the actress.

"I am in shock, and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me."

Janelle's death is not the first time Nicole has lost someone she loves. Her father died in 2014 after suffering a heart attack in Singapore.

"I've been given death as a very sudden thing," she said. "I've not nursed someone through a slow death, I've just had people taken."

"I've now had it happen repeatedly; I almost get scared saying it because I get terrified it's going to happen again. I still have a lot of fear of that."
