Nicole Kidman’s sister Antonia looks solemn as she is spotted for the first time since their mother Janelle’s death at the age of 83

Antonia Kidman looked serious as she was spotted at her late mother Janelle’s Sydney home on Sunday after she passed away at the age of 83.

Actress Nicole’s younger sister, 54, was seen carrying a bouquet of flowers from the estate as the Kidman family gathered following the sad news.

She looked casual in a blue shirt and pink sweater, which she wore with faded jeans and white sneakers for the outing.

The journalist put on glasses and looked somber as she left her late mother’s home in Greenwich.

She carried her essentials in a beige handbag and a bouquet of flowers and a plastic bag in one hand as she left the premises.

On Saturday, her sister Nicole announced that their beloved mother had tragically passed away at the age of 83.

The 57-year-old Australian actress was forced to leave the Venice Film Festival after the devastating news to return to her hometown of Sydney to be with her family.

Her mother Janelle tragically passed away just hours before Nicole was awarded Best Actress for her role in Babygirl on the final day of the Venice Film Festival. That’s a huge achievement.

“Today I arrived in Venice and shortly after I learned that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman passed away,” Nicole revealed in a statement read by director Halina Reijn after her win.

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

“I am beyond grateful to be able to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.”

In an interview with the Fresh Air podcast in January 2022, Nicole briefly discussed her mother’s health struggles after temporarily moving back to Sydney to support her.

She said they had been able to visit the Art Gallery of New South Wales after closing time, where they had seen the Matisse: Life & Spirit exhibition, which she described as ‘a calming balm’.

“We are here mainly to take care of my mother and let her enjoy her grandchildren,” she said.

“Luckily, despite Omicron sweeping through this country, we were able to take her to the gallery after hours yesterday and show her the Matisse exhibition. And coming from a mother who raised me in the arts, it was a soothing balm. Matisse was a soothing balm last night.”

Nicole has long had a particularly close bond with her beloved mother Janelle and has often spoken about her support and influence on her career over the years.

Nicole was born in Honolulu and raised in Sydney by her beloved mother Janelle and her psychologist father Antony, who passed away in September 2014.

After living in the United States for a time, the Moulin Rouge star and her younger sister Antonia spent much of their childhood in Sydney.

Nicole pursued her passion for acting as a teenager and was supported by her parents as she rose to worldwide fame.

They both remained closely involved in her career over the years, with Nicole recently admitting that she still sought her mother’s advice.

In November, the Big Little Lies star shared how she often asks her mother Janelle for advice on her outfits, despite working with a slew of professional stylists.

In a sign of their close bond, Nicole told People, “My mom is still — she’s so involved in what I wear.”

Nicole is known for her bold fashion choices, but shares how it was her mother and grandmother who sparked her love of clothes.

“I love fashion. I’ve always loved fashion,” she enthused while speaking at the launch of Planet Omega pop-up in New York.

“I grew up as a little girl with a grandmother who loved fashion and could sew, and my mother too. They loved beautiful clothes. They could make beautiful clothes,” she continued.

“I’ve seen them sewing, embroidering, knitting, crocheting. And I think when you grow up and see people in your household doing that, you love it.”

Nicole has never been shy about expressing her affection for Janelle, paying a touching tribute on her mother’s 82nd birthday last year.

She posted a photo gallery on Instagram of herself and her family celebrating with Janelle, captioning it with some sweet words.

“Congratulations, Mom. You are so loved by all of us,” Nicole wrote.

She also took the time to wish her mother a happy birthday when she walked the red carpet at the Oscars in Los Angeles with her husband Keith Urban.

“Today is my mom’s birthday. Happy birthday, Mom. We love you so much,” Nicole said to the camera.

“We had a party for her when we got back to Sydney. She’s the heartbeat of our family, so we love you, Mum.”

In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald In May 2020, Nicole also shared that she missed her mother when she lived in the United States.

“I would love to have a cup of tea with my mom and sit on the balcony and talk about life while she tells me what to do,” she said at the time.

Nicole also had a close bond with her father Antony and was devastated when he died of a heart attack in September 2014 at the age of 75.

The Oscar-winning actress previously admitted that the “sudden” death of her father, and a series of other losses, had affected her deeply.

“I’ve had death come to me very suddenly. I haven’t helped anyone through a slow death, I’ve just had people taken away,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald in 2020.

‘I’ve been through it before, I’m almost scared to say it because I’m terrified it will happen again. I’m still very scared of it.’
