“THE REAL REASON BEHIND SUNDAY’S ‘SNUB’ — AND WHY IT LEFT KEITH URBAN COMPLETELY STUNNED” 💔👀 New reports are shedding light on what may have caused the unexpected moment between Keith Urban and his daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban — and the explanation is said to be more complicated than it first appeared. While the moment was quickly labeled a “snub,” insiders suggest there may have been underlying reasons tied to personal boundaries, timing, or the pressures of growing up in the public eye. What seemed abrupt on the surface may not have been intentional at all — but the impact was still felt. Sources say Urban was left visibly shaken and unsure how to process the interaction, especially given how close he is known to be with his daughter. As more details emerge, the story is shifting from shock to understanding — with many now seeing it as a deeply human moment rather than a simple act of rejection.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s daughters have reportedly fully taken their mom’s side after their parents’ divorce.

The exes’ 17-year-old daughter, Sunday, recently snubbed her father in a new interview in which she gushed over Kidman — and failed to mention him.

Sunday called Kidman her “biggest inspiration in … life” and “a key part of everything” she does in an interview with Elle Australia, which Urban reportedly took issue with but felt “numb” to.

Insiders told the Daily Mail that Sunday as well as her younger sister, 15-year-old Faith, spend the majority of time with their mother per their custody agreement, and that the Oscar-winning actress hasn’t turned her kids against their father.

“They’ve made their own choices about their dad,” a source claimed to the outlet. “[Kidman] isn’t like that. Keith hasn’t tried much to make things better in their eyes.”

“The girls have always been very close with their mother,” the source added. “They are her everything.”

A source also told the outlet that Sunday and Faith are “hurt and angry on her behalf” following their parents’ split after 19 years of marriage.

“There’s some resentment against Keith. If they are blaming someone, it’s him not her,” they said.

Urban is reportedly “worried” about his relationship with his daughters, but is hopeful that it will turn around.

“He’s hurt, but he feels like he can patch things up,” a source said. “He doesn’t blame Nicole and it doesn’t seem like she’s alienating them from him.”

However, Kidman and Urban, both 58, are reportedly now no longer speaking.

“Things got really bad at the end of their relationship and haven’t rebounded,” a source claimed. “Keith seems to really want to live the single life, almost like a midlife crisis since the split.”

“He’s turned into a totally different person,” the source continued. “It’s like she doesn’t know him at all anymore.”

Page Six reached out to reps for Kidman and Urban, though they didn’t immediately respond.

A source told Australian outlet New Idea Monday that Sunday’s omission of Urban in her new interview made the country singer feel “like he doesn’t exist.”

“He’s trying to put on a brave front,” the source claimed.

Kidman and Urban finalized their divorce in January. Per their agreement, their daughters will stay with the “Babygirl” actress for 306 days of the year. Meanwhile, Urban has been allotted to spend “every other weekend” with them.
