In an interview with the Fresh Air podcast in January 2022, Nicole briefly spoke about her mother’s health issues after temporarily moving to Sydney to support her.
Her comments came as she recounted how she had taken Janelle to the Art Gallery of New South Wales after hours, where they viewed the Matisse: Life and Spirit exhibition, describing it as a “soothing balm” amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We’re here primarily to take care of my mother and have her surrounded by her grandchildren,” he said.
“Luckily, yesterday, even though Omicron is wreaking havoc on this country, we were able to take her to the gallery after hours and show her the Matisse exhibit, which, coming from a mother who raised me in the art world, was a comforting balm. Matisse was a comforting balm last night.”

Nicole has long had an incredibly close relationship with her beloved mother Janelle and has often spoken about her support and influence on her career over the years.
Nicole was born in Honolulu and raised in Sydney by her loving mother Janelle and psychologist father Antony, who passed away in September 2014.
After spending time in the United States, the Moulin Rouge star and her younger sister Antonia spent much of their childhood in Sydney.
Nicole pursued her passion for acting as a teenager and received support from her parents as she rose to worldwide fame.
The two remained closely involved with each other’s careers over the years, with Nicole recently admitting that she still turned to her mother for advice.
Following the news of her mother’s death, Nicole has traveled back to Australia to be with her family, including her sister Antonia (both pictured in April).
In November, the Big Little Lies star revealed how she often asked her mother, Janelle, for advice on her outfits, despite working with many professional stylists.
As a sign of their close bond, Nicole told People: “My mom is still… she’s very involved in what I wear.”
Nicole is known for her bold fashion choices, but she shared how it was her mother and grandmother who first fostered her love of clothing.
“I love fashion. I’ve always loved fashion,” she said enthusiastically during her speech at the launch of the Planet Omega pop-up store in New York.
“I grew up as a girl with a grandmother who loved fashion and knew how to sew, and my mother did too. They loved pretty clothes, they knew how to make pretty clothes,” she continued.
“I watched them sew, embroider, knit and crochet. And I think when you grow up watching people in your home do that, you love it.”
Nicole never hesitated to express her affection for Janelle and shared a touching tribute on her mother’s 82nd birthday last year.
On Instagram, she posted a gallery of photos of herself and her family celebrating with Janelle at a party and wrote some sweet words in a caption.
“Happy birthday, Mom. We all love you so much,” Nicole wrote.
Nicole’s husband Keith Urban (pictured on Friday, before news of Janelle’s death) is currently in Australia on tour and performed in Brisbane earlier this week.

News of Janelle’s death was revealed in a statement read by director Halina Reijn on Nicole’s behalf as she accepted the acting award on her behalf.
She also took the time to send her mother some birthday wishes while on the Oscars red carpet in Los Angeles with husband Keith Urban.
“Today is my mom’s birthday. Happy birthday, mom. We love you so much,” Nicole told the camera.
“We threw her a party when we got back to Sydney. She’s the heart of our family, so we love you, Mum.”
In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald In May 2020, Nicole also opened up about missing her mother while living abroad in the United States.
Nicole has long had an incredibly close relationship with her beloved mother Janelle and has often spoken about her support and influence on her career over the years.
Nicole had an equally close bond with her father Antony and was devastated when he died of a heart attack in September 2014 at the age of 75 (pictured in 2005).
“I would love to be able to have a cup of tea with Mum and sit on the balcony and talk about life, and have her tell me what I should be doing,” she said at the time.

The Oscar-winning actress previously revealed that her father’s “sudden” death, as well as a series of other losses, had affected her deeply.
“I’ve been given a sudden death. I haven’t been caring for anyone through a slow death, I’ve just been taken away,” she told the Sydney Morning Herald in 2020.
“It’s happened to me several times, I’m almost afraid to say it because I’m afraid it will happen again. I’m still very afraid of it.”
