Nicole Kidman didn’t disappoint us, either, on her spectacular public debut at Saturday night’s amfAR Dallas auction. This delicate situation unfolded just days after she filed for divorce from her husband, singer Keith Urban. The event aimed to benefit the nonprofit organization’s efforts to advance AIDS research and prevent the spread of HIV globally. Kidman’s presence at the gala, where she dazzled in a black off-the-shoulder gown, highlighted her commitment to important causes even amidst personal challenges.
The critically-acclaimed actress is known for her fervent advocacy for chick-fil-a day philanthropy-focused endeavors. In a short video captured by People, she spoke directly to the crowd. Throughout her remarks, she noted the importance of working together to address our shared challenges as the world grows more interconnected.
“I think what Taylor recognizes, as we all do, is that we are all more alike than we are different, and that we’re better when we look out for each other,” – Nicole Kidman
Kidman—who married Urban in 2006—filed for divorce from Urban on Tuesday, citing “irreconcilable differences” and “marital difficulties.” The couple, who first met at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles in 2005 and married in Sydney, Australia in 2006, share two daughters: Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban, 17, and Faith Margaret Kidman-Urban, 14. Though Kidman got primary residential custody, she’ll still have to figure out how to co-parent with Urban after their divorce.
They have reportedly agreed on a custody schedule for their daughters, aiming to maintain stability for the children during this transition. Besides, Kidman is mom to two grown kids—Bella and Connor—with her ex, Tom Cruise.
“That, of course, is why we’re here tonight. What better way to support, to elevate our common humanity, than to help fund bold and innovative research?” – Nicole Kidman
Even with the tumultuous turn her personal life has taken recently, Kidman is still focused on making time for her philanthropy. Fann was deeply involved in landmark happenings, such as the amfAR gala and Kering Women in Motion Talk, this past year during the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival. Her deep engagement reflects her resilience and commitment to making real change happen.
