LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nicole Kidman, 57, and her husband Keith Urban, also 57, are reportedly considering to move back to their native Australia following a difficult year in America. 

The ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ actress suffered a personal tragedy when she lost her mother Janelle in September. Adding to the loss was Kidman’s packed schedule as she jetted continuously around America to promote her upcoming film ‘Babygirl’ and film new projects.

However, a source recently shared with Woman’s Day magazine that the actress is now considering returning to her native place following a stressful year.

A source said that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban had their “worst year ever” in 2024 after they spent days apart from each other, reported Daily Mail.

“Nicole and Keith have had their worst year ever, they've barely spent any time together and she's been on her own throughout some of her most distressing times,” a source told Woman's Day.

The insider added that the actress’ loved ones are worried about her “burnout” amid her busy schedule.

The source continued, “The big worry on everyone's minds is, how much more of this can she take?”

They further added Urban is also considering stepping back from music to support his wife after his 10-date Las Vegas residency comes to an end in February.

Kidman is currently in the US filming her upcoming six-part crime series ‘Scarpetta’. Apart from her filming, she is also busy with press tours of ‘Babygirl’. 

The source noted that because of her busy schedule, the ‘Big Little Lies’ actress could suffer a “burnout.” Adding to that, the star is also dealing with the grief of losing her mother.

“Nicole is still looking as amazing as always but she's been through so much, and she seems to be dealing with her grief by throwing herself into work,” shared the source. 

They added, “There are times when she sleeps on a plane more than a bed. Everyone's worried about her.”

Nicole Kidman reflects on her busy schedule

Nicole Kidman too reflected on her busy schedule during an interview with Variety recently. She shared that she often finds it difficult to take a break to focus on herself. 

The ‘Moulin Rouge’ actress explained, “It's very hard for me to go, ''Okay, I'm just going to take care of myself,'' because I'm so much about taking care of other people.”
