I was in my shell,” said the star of “Scarpetta” which releases Wednesday on Prime Video. Documents were filed in late September last year. The couple shares two daughters, 17-year-old Sunday and 15-year-old faith. Kidman said her priority is keeping her family unit together, as all parties move toward positivity. Popular on Variety “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect,” she said. “I’m staying in a place of, “We are a family,” and that’s what we’ll continue to be.
