Actress Nicole Kidman sparked a wholesome reaction on Sunday when she shared a touching family post to mark Mother’s Day in the US.
Taking to Instagram, the Moulin Rouge actress uploaded two snapshots featuring her rarely-seen daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret alongside Nicole’s late mother, Janelle Ann.
One picture showed a beaming Nicole posing with one arm around her mother, while a second showed Janelle Ann enjoying a stroll with her granddaughters in Uluru, Australia.
For the tender family moment, Nicole, 57, wrapped up warm in a black-and-white fluffy jacket which she teamed with skinny jeans. Also embracing timeless stripes was Nicole’s mother, who could be seen rocking a grey-and-white striped long-sleeved top, dark trousers and a charcoal-hued scarf.
The star’s two daughters, whom she shares with her husband, Keith Urban, looked adorable as they sweetly posed for the camera and also walked hand in hand with their grandmother.

She won Best Actress for her role in Babygirl, but quickly left the festival and the country to return to Sydney before she could accept the honor.

“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. I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.”
Nicole’s family life
Aside from Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, Nicole also shares two adopted children – Bella and Connor – with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise.

“They call me Nicole, which I hate,” she explained during an appearance on GMTV.
