Keith Urban Opens Up About Emotional Moment After Daughter Sunday Rose’s Unexpected Snub

Keith Urban reportedly finds himself ‘heartbroken’ following what seems to be a subtle oversight by his eldest daughter, Sunday Rose. The 17-year-old rising model did not mention her musician father during an interview with Elle Australia for their March issue.

In the conversation, Sunday was full of admiration for her mother, Nicole Kidman, 58, hailing her as a major creative influence in her life. The young model expressed gratitude toward Nicole, crediting her for igniting her passion for modeling. She fondly recalled how her Oscar-winning mother would bring her along to photo shoots during her childhood.

“My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life,” Sunday Rose shared with the magazine, highlighting the significant role Nicole has played in shaping her interests and aspirations.

She credited Nicole for being instrumental in sparking her interest in modelling, as the Aussie A-lister used to take her daughter to photo shoots as a young child.

‘My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life,’ Sunday Rose told the publication.

‘She is a key part of everything I do.’

The 17-year-old model failed to mention her rocker father in an interview with Elle Australia for its March edition. In the sit-down, Sunday was quick to praise mother Nicole Kidman , 58, for being one of the biggest creative inspirations in her life 

Sunday added that Nicole had offered some sage advice to help her modelling career.

‘The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time,’ she said.

While Keith, 58, did not rate a mention, Sunday also praised her mother for teaching her good travel habits. 

The interview has reportedly rattled Keith, with an insider telling New Idea that he is ‘just numb’ over the apparent snub.

‘Keith doesn’t know what to say, but he’s trying to put on a brave front,’ the source said.

‘He knows he has to be patient; however, this latest snub – so publicly, there in black and white – has stumped him.’

Keith has not been seen with Sunday and her sister Faith Margaret, 15, since he and Nicole announced the end of their 19-year marriage in September last year.

As part of the divorce, which was finalised in January, Nicole retained the majority custody of the couple’s daughters.

Under the parenting plan, Nicole will spend 306 days a year with her daughters, while Keith will have 59 days.

The last time Keith was seen publicly with his daughters was back in December 2024.

The family had returned to Australia for Christmas to reunite with Nicole’s extended family following her mother Janelle’s tragic death in September that year.

Meanwhile, Keith’s last official public outing with his daughters came 597 days ago, in July 2024.

Keith and Nicole were joined by Faith Margaret and Sunday Rose as they cheered on 14-year-old Aussie skateboarder Chloe Covell at the Paris Olympics.

According to Woman’s Day, Keith is now living a ‘solitary’ bachelor life in Nashville when he is not spending time with his children.

The publication claimed that Keith has cut out everyone connected to his past with Nicole.

‘He’s now living a life that’s been completely purged of everyone to do with his past life,’ a source said.

Speaking to US outlet ABC News in 2018, Keith admitted that he ‘loved’ being a father to girls. 

‘I just love being a parent,’ Keith revealed. ‘I didn’t know that I’d ever get to be one.’

The hitmaker continued: ‘It’s an incredible feeling.’

‘And having girls – I love having girls. You know, I come from a family with no sisters, one brother. So, it’s been quite the learning curve in a really good way.’
