In a moment that had both parents laughing and fans around the world charmed, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have just shared their priceless reaction to something completely unexpected about their daughter, Sunday Rose — her accent.
While Nicole hails from Australia and Keith was raised in New Zealand, the couple has spent much of their family life in the United States, leading to a unique mix of cultural influences. But it wasn’t until a quiet morning at home that they both realized just how much their daughter’s speech had taken a turn.
“She walked into the room and said something like, ‘Can I get some wa-duh?’” Keith said, imitating the American pronunciation with a grin. “And I just looked at Nic and said, ‘Wait… where did that come from?’”
Nicole, known for her elegance and quick wit, laughed and added, “We expected a little Aussie in there… maybe even some Kiwi… but she’s full-on American! Southern twang and all!”
The couple admitted they were both surprised and delighted, especially considering Sunday was born in Nashville — the heart of country music and sweet tea drawls. Keith joked, “She sounds more like Dolly Parton than me these days!”
What fans love most about this moment isn’t just the accent — it’s the genuine joy between the two. Despite their global fame and busy schedules, Keith and Nicole continue to embrace the small, hilarious, beautiful surprises of parenting.
“It’s a reminder,” Nicole said. “That no matter how much we travel or how big our world seems, our kids are just becoming themselves — and that’s the best gift of all.”
Sunday Rose, now a growing young teen, has been kept largely out of the spotlight — a choice her parents have made to protect her privacy. But in moments like these, fans get a glimpse of the warmth, love, and humor that fill the Urban-Kidman household.
And the verdict on the accent?
Keith laughed: “As long as she keeps calling me Dad and not ‘dude,’ I’m good with it.”
