Nicole Kidman's niece, Lucia Hawley, has embraced being a new baby!
If her words are to be believed, the upcoming journalist has expressed her disinterest in feeling guilty about coming from privilege during a recent interview. The update comes shortly after she scored an enviable gig as a red carpet reporter for the longstanding entertainment outlet, E! network.
Lucia Hawley Biggest Worries Do Not Include Being Called A 'Nepo Baby'
Even though she has been trying to make a name for herself as a journalist, Hawley has claimed she has no problem coming from the prestigious Kidman family. She candidly shared her thoughts on the months-long "nepo" baby conversation during an interview with Woman's Day, where she stated:
"If that's the worse [sic] thing being said about me, then so be it. I would never deny my privilege and I actually, totally hold my hand up and say 'yeah I'm privileged, I come from a really privileged family and I'm so grateful for the opportunities that have come my way because of it'."
Despite not dismissing the opportunities that being related to Kidman offers, the 25-year-old admitted that the best she could do amid the repo baby claims "is work hard and make an individual name for me and prove myself."
Before she opened up on that, Hawley told the outlet that being surrounded by "powerful" women, including her mother — Antonia Kidman — set her on the path to a career in television. Her biggest inspiration would be her mom, who raised six kids despite having to go through the process of shifting jobs to law.
Before that, the 52-year-old had established herself as a television presenter and journalist, hosting shows such as "The Little Things," "Cleo Bachelor 2002: Real Men Revealed," and "From Here to Maternity."
Antonia shares her daughter with the late August Hawley, who died of a heart attack during a business trip in New York in April 2015. Augus and Antonia walked down the aisle in February 1996 at a ceremony attended by her big sister Nicole and her then-husband and actor Tom Cruise.
The union eventually crashed in May 2007, with Antonia choosing to remain with their four kids — Lucia, Sybella, Hamish "Hamey," and James — in the family home in Greenwich, Sydney. The former couple continued shouldering the responsibility of raising their children until Angus' unfortunate passing at age 46.
The TV host has since remarried, saying "I do" to Craig Marran, a Singapore-based businessman, in April 2010. The duo shares two sons — Nicholas and Alexander Norman Kidman Marran.
Keith Urban Gushed Over His Multi-Awarded Wife For Being 'The One
Nicole and her beau, Keith Urban, have been termed "couple goals" by several supporters since their whirlwind romance, which started in 2005, ended in a marriage the year after. In fact, for Urban, nothing he has accomplished in life can top his marriage to the "Eyes Wide Shut" actress.
The 55-year-old lauded his wife for being his "biggest achievement" during an appearance on Reba McEntire's "Living & Learning" podcast in December 2021. The singer claimed he had no "specific goals" before meeting the actress, wanting to live a simple life in Nashville.
However, that changed when they married in 2006, as the "Aquaman" star gave him the courage to quit alcohol and become sober. Urban has never shied away from praising his wife for being "the one," telling Dax Shepard and Monica Padman in a 2020 chat that Nicole's presence meant that "everything not only changed but had to change in me if I was gonna go that road."
Per The Blast, the "Somebody Like You" singer added that his romance with the Academy Awards winner was beyond what he hoped for. Luckily, the love is one-sided, as Nicole highlighted how much she appreciated her man in a 2021 birthday tribute.
For this move, the "Nine Perfect Strangers" star took to Instagram to share a snap of her and her husband frolicking under the sun on what appeared to be a boat. While the view behind them was stunning, the real star of the image was the kiss that the actress placed on her man's temple with reckless abandon.
For his part, the "Blue Ain't Your Color" artist held his wife tightly and closed his eyes to relish the moment. Beneath the image, Nicole wished her "love" the "happiest of birthdays," along with three cake and red heart emojis.
