But Nicole Kidman is determined to remain optimistic as she heads into the new year a single woman.
Posting to Instagram Stories on Friday, the Australian actress shared a photo of herself cosying up to daughters Faith Margaret, 15, and Sunday Rose, 17, as they watched the New Year’s Eve fireworks.
She accompanied this with an uplifting message, writing: ‘Looking forward into 2026 xx’.
It is believed the image was taken on Sydney Harbour, as the actress as been spotted in the New South Wales capital for the past few weeks.
According to People, Nicole was more than happy to be back in Australia for the holiday season.

Nicole returned to Australia for the holiday season this year – without Keith
‘This is all she wanted after a tumultuous fall,’ a source told the publication.
‘She just wanted to celebrate Christmas at home. She’s very excited,’ they added.
The insider also said that Nicole is feeling ‘very blessed’ despite the end of her 20-year marriage.
‘She’s been super positive and focused on things that she’s grateful for,’ they said.
It follows reports that reality may be starting to sink in for Keith following his divorce from Nicole.
The country star, who parted ways with his Hollywood star wife in September after 19 years of marriage, is allegedly ‘wondering if he’s made a huge mistake’ following their split.
After recently performing private shows for members of Donald Trump’s inner circle, the 58-year-old is reportedly feeling more isolated than ever.
‘He’s got to pay the bills – and divorce lawyers don’t come cheap,’ a source told Woman’s Day magazine of the couple’s settlement.

Keith has forked out for the couple’s daughter Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret’s private school tuition and, according to the publication, needs to make a living in any way he can.
‘It’s a lonely existence for Keith right now – he’s exhausted, isolated and looking at a future he never imagined,’ the source added.
‘He’s also lost his best friend, Nicole, who was also his greatest supporter in life. He’s wondering if he’s made a huge mistake.’
Keith made headlines in November after he performed at an Australian billionaire’s party at Mar-a-Lago.
The private gig, hosted by Anthony Pratt, was attended by Donald Trump, who received $10million from the Visy executive chairman for his election campaign.
Nicole and Keith’s breakup shocked fans earlier this year – and the Oscar-winning actress had reportedly been dreading the public’s response for months prior.
‘She’s been stressed because she knew the separation would eventually become public and she was dreading it,’ a source told People in early October.

‘But she’s surprisingly level-headed now that it’s out, she’s just focused on what’s ahead and her girls,’ the insider said of the couple’s daughters.
The actress and musician’s separation was confirmed by Daily Mail on September 29, and Nicole filed for divorce on September 30, citing irreconcilable differences.
Their marriage began to fall apart at the beginning of summer 2025. The split was reportedly a long-term development, stemming from months of quiet separation and diverging paths due to work commitments, according to Daily Mail sources.
Nicole has requested to be the primary residential parent in the custody arrangement.
