While Nicole Kidman often grabs the spotlight, her sister Antonia has been quietly living her own remarkable life. In a recent interview with Nine Honey, Antonia, a journalist, gave us a rare glimpse into the early years she shared with her famous sibling. It's like a little time capsule that lets us peek into the lives of two sisters who've grown up to be incredibly close.
A Slice of Childhood: Summer Vacations with Nicole
Antonia reminisced about their favorite summer memories, painting a vivid picture of what it was like growing up together. She shared that every January, from the time she was seven until she was seventeen, the Kidman family would pack up and head to Barrington Tops, just north of Sydney. It was an annual tradition that created some of their most cherished memories.
“The smells and sounds of the rainforest are etched in my memory,” Antonia fondly recalled. Born to Janelle and Antony Kidman, the two sisters have remained close through the years. Earlier this year, Nicole took to Instagram to celebrate Antonia's law school graduation, highlighting their ongoing bond.

Congratulations from Nicole: Celebrating Antonia's Achievements
Nicole expressed her pride in her sister by writing, “Congratulations to my darling sister who graduated with her law degree.” She shared a collection of photos on Instagram, showcasing Antonia in her graduation gown, alongside snaps of the two sisters with their mom. Nicole praised Antonia for juggling her studies, raising six children, and embarking on a new career phase with grace and humility.
“I wanted to acknowledge her because so much of what makes me who I am is due to my family,” Nicole continued. “I also want to acknowledge our mum, who believed in us, educated us, and guided us from a young age, and still does. I love both of these women so much.”
Living Life Beyond the Spotlight
Nicole is married to country artist Keith Urban, and together they have daughters Sunday, 11, and Faith, 8. Antonia, on the other hand, is married to businessman Craig Marran, and they have two children, adding to the four from Antonia's previous relationship. While Nicole's fame continues to shine brightly, Antonia has found her own path, confidently stepping out of her sister's shadow.
“I’m Antonia Marran in Singapore, and it’s lovely, it’s good,” she said during a 2016 No Filter podcast. “You’re totally out of the loop. The media isn’t the same.”
It’s clear that Nicole and Antonia share a deep and meaningful bond. Their relationship is a testament to the strength of family ties, proving that no matter how bright the spotlight shines, the ties that bind are the strongest of all.
