Nicole Kidman has made her annual pilgrimage home for Christmas.

Greeted by hubby Keith Urban at Sydney Airport, the couple’s two daughters – Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret – were in tow.

Urban has been busy crisscrossing the country for his national tour that wrapped in Melbourne on Saturday night.

Kidman has been putting the finishing touches on a number of projects in Los Angeles including Lioness, A Family Affair and Expats.

The couple make a point of spending Christmas in Australia with family, including Kidman’s mum, Janelle, and her sister, Antonia.

The family has often been photographed around town through the festive season and usually attend Christmas Eve mass together.

Kidman meanwhile has her own new music out. Having previously collaborated with Robbie Williams on hit single Somethin’ Stupid and Ewan McGregor on Moulin Rouge’s Come What May, she recorded the theme song for US series, The Undoing, as she lent her voice to classic Dream A Little Dream of Me.

Now, Kidman and fellow actor Luke Evans have released a cover of Say Something that features on his album, A Song For You.

The pair recorded the track after becoming close friends while shooting hit TV series, Nine Perfect Strangers, in Australia in 2020.

Of the release, Evans said: “I already had that song in my head, because I knew that it would fit Nicole’s voice very well, that I could blend our voices. So I sent them the track, and Keith was like, ‘genius – I couldn’t have thought of a better track.’”

They recorded Kidman’s part in Urban’s Nashville studio.

“He sent me a little video of her in the booth recording. And she loved every minute of it. She was so grateful that I’d asked her. I was, like, ‘grateful? You have no idea how grateful I am!’ But she’s a lovely woman, and a friend, and very generous with their time. To do something like this was really special.”
