‘So good to hug you’: Nicole Kidman sees her mother Janelle, 80, for the first time in EIGHT months – after completing two weeks self-isolation

Nicole Kidman ensured that her first outing following her 14-day self-isolation period was to see her mother, Janelle. 

On Sunday, the Oscar-winning actress, 53, took to Instagram with two emotional pictures of her warmly embracing her family’s 80-year-old matriarch. 

‘Feels so good to be able to hug my mum! It’s been 8 months. I missed her 80th birthday but I’m here now. Love you Mumma ❤️,’ she captioned the sweet snaps.

Nicole was clearly overcome with emotion in the snap as she hugged her mother followings months apart. 

Earlier in the day, Nicole was seen leaving her $6.5million Southern Highlands estate for the first time after completing her 14-day quarantine with her husband Keith Urban and their daughters, Sunday, 12, and Faith, nine.

The actress and her other half, 52, divided fans after being granted permission to skip mandatory hotel quarantine and self-isolate at their sprawling country property following their arrival back to Australia via a private jet from the United States.

Nicole jetted back to begin work on her new series, Nine Perfect Strangers, which was recently given the green-light to begin filming in Australia.

The series will provide an economic boost to the struggling local film industry by creating ‘hundreds’ of local jobs when filming commences on August 10.

Despite Nicole’s plans to help the local film industry during the economic downturn, some Australians angrily suggested that COVID-19 travel restrictions only seemed to affect ordinary people, not the rich and famous.

However, many others pointed out that they didn’t see a problem with it if the pair stayed at home for two weeks.

One supporter wrote: ‘This is right decision. They have their own property, why not? They both deserve a little credit for promoting Australia every day… Welcome home.’

According to the NSW Government website, people returning from overseas are only exempt from staying at a quarantine hotel if there are ‘strong medical, health or compassionate grounds’.
