Nicole Kidman’s ‘proud’ of daughters Bella and Sunday

A source recently revealed to Radar Online, “It's an open secret that Nicole has been quietly working behind the scenes towards this for a very long time. She was trying to put together a plan last year for a get-together in the UK, but it didn't work out.”

“To have Bella and Sunday take the baton and put this in motion is a dream come true and she couldn't be prouder of them,” they asserted.

The insider went on to share that Bella going to Sunday’s show means a lot to their mother.

“It's not something Nicole talks about but, of course, there have been whispers for years about the state of her relationship with Connor and Bella,” they stated.

The source added, “Nicole is always quick to insist they're fine but there's no doubt she's been longing to have more involvement in both Bella and Connor's lives. To have Bella show this public support for Sunday Rose speaks volumes. It's a huge step and Nicole is overjoyed.”
