Nicole Kidman Sends Hilarious Heads-Up Text to Daughter Sunday Rose Ahead of Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Arrest’

Nicole Kidman Playfully "Arrested" by Sabrina Carpenter at Nashville Concert

Nicole Kidman, 58, humorously warned her 17-year-old daughter Sunday Rose that she’d be “arrested” by pop star Sabrina Carpenter during a concert in Nashville, Tennessee. Sunday shared a screenshot of her mother’s text—“Hi Baby, I’m heading down to be arrested.x”—on Instagram Stories, alongside a video of the cheeky onstage moment captioned, “someone’s in trouble.”

The Viral Moment
During Carpenter’s concert on Tuesday, Kidman became the latest celebrity to participate in the singer’s playful tradition of “arresting” audience members for “being too hot.” Clad in a red T-shirt and jeans, Kidman was handcuffed with fuzzy pink restraints before Carpenter performed her song Juno. The crowd erupted as Carpenter joked, “I expected to find love but not my soulmate,” referencing Kidman’s recent film Babygirl (2024) and quipping, “You’re so Babygirl, I don’t know what to do.”

A Lighthearted Tradition
Carpenter, known for playfully detaining stars like Anne Hathaway and Gigi Hadid at past shows, tailored the bit to Kidman’s fame. She humorously mimicked Kidman’s iconic AMC Theatres intro, announcing, “We come to this arena for magic.” The pair bantered about potentially moving to Nashville together, with Kidman confirming she resides there post-split from husband Keith Urban.

Family Focus Amid Divorce
Kidman’s surprise appearance comes weeks after filing for divorce from Urban, 58, citing “irreconcilable differences” after 16 years of marriage. The couple shares Sunday and daughter Faith Margaret, 14. A source told Us Weekly that Kidman is prioritizing co-parenting, focusing on “new traditions” and maintaining stability for her girls. “The hardest part is navigating the dynamic with their daughters,” the insider shared, noting Kidman is in a “good headspace” and leading by example.

Custody Agreement Details
Divorce documents reveal Kidman will be the primary residential parent, overseeing 306 days annually, while Urban has 59 days. The exes waived spousal and child support and will split legal costs. Kidman also shares adopted children Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
