Today, July 7, 2025, marks a special milestone as Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, the eldest daughter of country music superstar Keith Urban and Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman, celebrates her 17th birthday. Born on this day in 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday has grown into a striking young woman who embodies the best of both her parents’ talents and beauty. With her father’s musical heritage and her mother’s cinematic elegance, she’s capturing hearts worldwide, especially as she steps into the spotlight with a burgeoning modeling career. As of 03:16 PM +07 on Thursday, July 10, 2025, the celebration of her birthday has sparked a wave of admiration online, with fans and family alike marveling at her unique blend of country charm and Hollywood grace.

Sunday Rose’s journey began with a name steeped in family history and poetic inspiration. Keith Urban, a four-time Grammy winner known for hits like “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” and Nicole Kidman, an Oscar-winning actress celebrated for Moulin Rouge!, chose her name to honor Urban’s great-grandmother, Rose, and a quote from Australian artist Sidney Nolan about the clarity of youth near birth. The “Sunday” addition came from a relative’s suggestion during a Nolan exhibit visit, reflecting a serendipitous moment for the couple, who married in 2006 after meeting at a 2005 Hollywood event. Her birth, via gestational surrogacy, was a joyful milestone, with Urban announcing on his website, “We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.” This private yet significant event set the tone for a childhood shielded from the public eye, contrasting with her recent emergence as a public figure.

Raised between Nashville and Sydney, Sunday and her younger sister, Faith Margaret, born in 2010, enjoyed a relatively normal upbringing despite their parents’ fame. Urban and Kidman have been protective, limiting media exposure and fostering a tight-knit family unit. In a 2017 TODAY interview, Kidman shared, “We try to have sit-down dinners every night… Friends from school come over,” emphasizing a grounded life. Urban echoed this in a 2020 Mother’s Day tribute, praising Kidman’s parenting: “Her patience, her recognizing them as people… is really extraordinary.” Sunday’s early talents emerged organically—Urban noted in 2015 on TODAY that she played piano and Faith strummed a pink guitar, hinting at a musical lineage. A 2019 Instagram Story from Kidman even showcased Sunday’s photography skills, capturing Urban at home, suggesting a creative streak.

Her beauty, a fusion of her parents’ features, has become a focal point. With Kidman’s striking blue eyes and Urban’s reddish-blonde hair—though hers darkened to a rich brown as a teen—Sunday mirrors both. A 2023 People interview saw Urban joking, “She’s got my wife’s legs, which is very lucky for her,” while Kidman told 60 Minutes Australia that Sunday increasingly resembles her dad. This blend shone during her April 27, 2024, red carpet debut at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award for Kidman, where she and Faith stunned in coordinated looks, earning viral praise. Fans on social platforms have gushed, “She’s got Keith’s soul and Nicole’s elegance!”—a sentiment amplified by her 2024 Paris Fashion Week runway debut for Miu Miu.

Sunday’s modeling career took off in October 2024, marking her transition from private teen to public figure. At the Miu Miu spring/summer 2025 show, she walked with poise, her white sleeveless dress and gray leg warmers turning heads alongside peers like Amelia Gray Hamlin. A backstage Vogue interview revealed her excitement: “I’ve been wanting to do this for so long… now the day is finally here!” Her accent—a unique mix of Australian twang and Southern drawl from her Nashville years—went viral, prompting Urban to tell Entertainment Tonight on October 24, 2024, “She’s just our daughter,” with a proud smile. Kidman, supportive yet cautious, told E! News, “I’m trying to give her her own space,” reflecting a balanced approach to her daughter’s rise.

Her 17th birthday, celebrated on July 7, 2025, has been a global event. Posts found on social media platforms highlight the occasion, with fans and family sharing tributes. Kidman’s likely Instagram post—following her 2021 tradition of a multi-colored cake photo—would echo past sentiments like “You are our joy Sunday Rose.” Urban, known for heartfelt gestures, might share a throwback, continuing his “little ray of sunshine” nickname from a 2016 post. The family’s privacy means no official event details, but their history suggests a low-key celebration, possibly in Sydney or Nashville, blending both cultures. Fans have speculated about a modeling milestone, given her recent Omega campaign for the Seamaster Aqua Terra 30mm collection, unveiled in June 2025, where she joined stars like Ariana DeBose.

Sunday’s beauty and talent draw from her parents’ legacies. Urban’s musical roots, honed from a ukulele at age four in Queensland, Australia, and Kidman’s acting debut at 16 in Bush Christmas (1983), provide a dual heritage. Her runway confidence echoes Kidman’s early poise, while her creative hobbies—ballet, painting, and horseback riding—mirror Urban’s artistic spirit. This blend has fueled her appeal, with fan pages like @SundayRoseUpdates (150K+ followers) curating her rare moments, such as the 2011 CMA Awards appearance where she clung to Urban’s leg, or the 2018 Aquaman premiere in a mini-gold gown.

Culturally, Sunday’s birthday taps into 2025’s fascination with celebrity offspring, a trend seen with peers like Suri Cruise or Malia Obama. Her April 2025 Instagram name change to “Sunday Rose”—dropping “Kidman-Urban”—signals independence, mirroring a hair transformation to auburn locks, reminiscent of Kidman’s 80s look. This evolution, paired with her Omega role, positions her as a Gen Z icon, balancing privacy with public presence. Urban’s recent comments to People about guiding her through fame—“Hopefully she’s balanced”—reflect a mindful approach, while Kidman’s 2024 AFI speech honored their tight unit, reinforcing family values.

For fans, celebrating Sunday’s 17th offers a chance to revisit her journey. Photos and videos from past birthdays, like the 2021 balloon-filled party, are accessible via Kidman and Urban’s social archives, though current celebrations remain private. Viewing tips suggest watching her Miu Miu runway clip or Omega campaign for a glimpse of her growth, contrasting with early red carpet moments. Alternatives like following her parents’ careers—Urban’s The Road on CBS or Kidman’s Babygirl—provide context, but Sunday’s story stands alone as a narrative of inherited beauty and emerging identity.

As Sunday Rose turns 17, she embodies a bridge between her parents’ worlds—country music’s soul and Hollywood’s glamour. Her birthday celebration, though quiet, resonates globally, a testament to a young woman growing into her own light, shaped by love, talent, and the enduring legacy of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.
