Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s eldest daughter, Sunday Rose, shared rare insight into her life following an incredible summer full of career firsts.
The 17-year-old took to Instagram on Monday to post a series of snaps from her summer vacation, revealing that she had returned to school after months of modeling work.

“Schools back so time to reminisce the vacay,” Sunday wrote in the caption. The first picture saw her capture her shadow while wearing a flowing, light-colored dress, followed by an artsy picture of food on a dinner table.
She then photographed herself reading Stephen King’s novel Misery, and shared a shot of a stunning beach with crystal-clear waters.

“I have several interests that I am interested in exploring in college,” she explained. “Filmmaking has actually been my dream career since I was five, so I hope I’m able to study that in college.”

“There are two big rules,” the brunette beauty said. “The first was that I couldn’t explore any kind of fashion work until I was 16, and the second is that school always has to come first, which at first I hated, but I am actually really glad that I have these rules in place because it keeps me in a good mindset.”

“She’s about to turn 16,” the Oscar winner said. “That’s what I told her, when she was 16 she was allowed to come to a show. She’s wanted to go for a long time.”
Nicole explained that she didn’t want Sunday to neglect her schoolwork and fall headfirst into the industry after attending a fashion show with her mother.

As for Sunday’s father, Keith, the country crooner explained the importance of maintaining a normal life for their kids.

“It’s about trying to keep a balance,” Keith continued. “It’s all a process, but I think balance is key. Keeping her firmly with schoolwork and structure and everything balanced in its place is key.”
School days

“Whenever I’m walking down the hallway, I feel like I’m strutting down to math class,” she said in a TikTok. “Everybody will be like, ‘I see you’re doing your runway walk.'”
