Nicole Kidman’s niece begs for a job after ‘risky’ move to London

“Totally stupid decision”: Lucia Hawley, Nicole Kidman’s niece and ex-Seven host, has shared a very candid look at her new life.

Nicole Kidman’s niece is on the job hunt after making a “risky” move from Australia to London.

Lucia Hawley begged for “someone to hire [her] please” while describing her relocation via Substack on Monday, per Page Six.

“On paper, this is a totally stupid decision, and honestly, frightens me,” the 26-year-old wrote, explaining that she has a “risk-averse” personality.

“My body quite literally rejects the idea of both moving overseas being unemployed,” she continued.

However, Lucia admitted that she’d experienced a “difficult” six months in her career while “lack[ing] direction and fac[ing] numerous rejections in the pursuit of something better.”

She wrote, “This period was pretty taxing on my confidence, and I eventually began to feel like there was just simply not much left for me in Sydney (at least for now).”

The former 7Bravo host, who is one of Kidman’s sister Antonia Kidman’s four children with late husband Angus Hawley, called the life change a “traumatic” one.

“Saying goodbye to Henry was incredibly difficult,” Lucia wrote of her boyfriend.

“Sometimes I am left baffled by his unwavering support and blind belief in me, championing everything I do,” she gushed of her partner. “This kind of love — true, safe love — makes you feel like you can do anything.

“Even harder were the goodbyes to my family,” Lucia continued. “I kissed my little brothers through floods of tears.”

Nonetheless, the choice remains “exciting” and “freeing” for Nicole’s family member.

“I believe home to be a feeling,” she told readers. “Having a strong network of people who support you is what truly enables you to navigate the world with confidence and self-assurance.”

With loved ones backing her, “failing can seem so much less inconsequential,” Lucia explained.

She concluded by pointing out that “if it all fails, [she will] always have home.”

Lucia is close with her famous aunt, and they recently enjoyed a family vacation in Croatia.
