What the “Bombshell” actress really finds inspiring in kids is how they can make the best of everything and their very positive outlook on life.
She did also say that she likes adults much better now than she previously used to, so, does it mean that adults are getting better with their take on life and reality?
Nicole Kidman Shares Her Passion for Kids
The “Nine Perfect Strangers” star, 54, appeared on the cover of Marie Claire Australia’s 25th anniversary issue and opened up about her career and the role it played in the amount of children she has.
“I wish I’d had more children, but I wasn’t given that choice,” the mom-of-four told the magazine.

With husband Keith Urban, Kidman shares daughters Sunday Rose, 13, and Faith Margaret, 10, and she also has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise, daughter Isabella and son Connor, who are now 28 and 26, respectively.
“I would’ve loved 10 kids,” Kidman told Marie Claire Australia. “But that’s okay because I get to mother other children. I have six nieces and nephews and I’m godmother to 12. I love mothering, I love kids: They’re quirky, funny and unfiltered. And then you get to see them grow and send them on their way.”
During her marriage to Cruise between 1990 and 2001, Kidman suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage while in her late 20s. She was later told that it would be hard for her to conceive.
In a 2018 interview with Tatler, Kidman talked about the deep sorrow that those losses could inflict on women.
“I know the yearning. That yearning. It’s a huge, aching yearning,” she said of wanting to have kids. “And the loss! The loss of a miscarriage is not talked about enough. That’s massive grief to certain women. There’s an enormous amount of pain and an enormous amount of joy on the other side of it. The flip side of going through so much yearning and pain to get there is the feeling of ‘Ahhhh!’ when you have the child.”

Kidman Opens Up About the Lesson She Learnt Living with Her Sister’s Kids
In November, Kidman told Glamour U.K. that her sister Antonio moved in with three of her children while she filmed the Hulu limited series, “Nine Perfect Strangers”, in Australia. She revealed that her husband Keith Urban wasn’t at home at the time so Antonio came to help out.
“I just love kids. I said once, ‘I prefer children to adults.’ I like adults more now, not more than kids, though,” she said at the time. “I love being around children and we’ve got five kids living with me now because Keith had to go back [to Nashville] to release his album. So, my sister moved in to help me while I’m filming, and we have three of her younger kids — she has six — living with us.”
“It’s just fun because I just find their perspective not so heavy,” continued Kidman. “It puts you in a more childlike place where you go, ‘I can move through this and it can be fleeting. It doesn’t have to become a massive weight.'”
