Who Is Sunday Rose? Keith Urban's Daughter's Snub Left Him 'Numb' Amid Nicole Kidman's Betrayal

Australian-American country singer, Keith Urban, recently underwent a highly publicised divorce with actress Nicole Kidman. Following their messy split, marked with allegations of jealousy, infidelity, and conflicting priorities, their daughter, Sunday Rose, has come under the spotlight. Sunday has recently publicly shared her mother, Nicole's contribution in her life while overlooking her father, Keith. Following that, the internet is abuzz with discussion regarding whether it was a mistaken omission or a conscious decision. Keith, reportedly, was not happy about the incident. Amid that, here's a look at Sunday's life, career, and the reason for the snub.

Who is Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's daughter, Sunday Rose?

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban is the eldest daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Born in Nashville in 2008, she is aged 17 as of March 2026. Having grown up in both the US and Australia, she has been described as having a unique accent, a mix of a Southern and Australian twinge. Sunday has spent most of her childhood away from the public eye. Her parents shielded her from the spotlight for years. They set two strict rules for her entry into the entertainment industry: first, she would not be allowed to pursue fashion work until she turned 16; second, her schoolwork must always come first.

Sunday Rose's career in modelling and acting

After diligently adhering to both of her parents' clauses, Sunday got the green light to pursue whatever she wanted. She entered the entertainment industry, making her runway debut in October 2024 by opening the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week. Since then, she has walked for major fashion houses like Dior and Calvin Klein. While modelling is her current focus, she has expressed a lifelong dream of becoming a filmmaker, a passion she developed from watching her mother on movie sets. She has had minor roles as an extra in her mother, Nicole Kidman's series, Big Little Lies and The Undoing.

In March 2026, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban made her Australian magazine cover debut for ELLE Australia, further establishing her status as a 'fashion it-girl'. Thus, with her recent projects, Sunday has emerged as a rising figure in the fashion and film industries. She is carving out a path that does justice to her high-profile background as the daughter of Nicole and Keith. Sunday's rapid rise in fashion, supported by figures like Miuccia Prada has positioned her as a notable new face among the second-generation celebrity models.

Sunday Rose recently sparked buzz by avoiding mention of her father's contribution to her life

While appearing on the March 2026 cover of Elle Australia, Sunday Rose repeatedly praised her mother, Nicole Kidman, calling her the "biggest inspiration in life" and a "key part" of everything she does. She credited her mother for her work ethic, her passion for modelling, and for being her primary source of industry advice, specifically for teaching her to "always be on time". However, she did not mention her father, Keith Urban's name or his influence throughout the feature, leaving him unhappy. The snub is particularly significant as it follows the finalisation of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's divorce in January 2026, after 19 years of marriage.

Nicole was granted primary custody, spending 306 days a year with the daughters, Sunday Rose and 15-year-old, Faith Margaret, while Keith can spend 59 days with the kids, typically every other weekend. Sources suggest that Sunday and Faith are currently very loyal to their mother. Amid that, the snub incident has brought the former couple back into the spotlight. Insiders claimed that Keith Urban was "numb" by his daughter's public omission of his name, describing it as if "he doesn't exist." It hit the father of two when he was already feeling "betrayed" by his ex-wife and close friend, Simon Baker.

Why did Sunday Rose snub her father and credit her mother?

According to a source quoted by Daily Mail, Sunday's snubbing of her father was based on her and her sister, Faith's resentment towards him. The source alleged that there was little effort on Keith's part to bond, whereas Nicole was always close to the kids. The girls even blame their dad for the family's strained relations, as per the source. Their exact words were:

“They’ve made their own choices about their dad. [Nicole] isn’t like that. Keith hasn’t tried much to make things better in their eyes. The girls have always been very close with their mother. They are her everything. [Sunday and Faith] are hurt and angry on her behalf...There’s some resentment against Keith. If they are blaming someone, it’s him not her."
