Nicole Kidman shares rare photo with her lookalike sister and niece

Nicole Kidman has shared a rare photo of herself with her sister Antonia Kidman and niece Lucia, with the three women looking seriously similar.

The Aussie actress shared the family snap in celebration of Antonia's birthday, writing: "To my sister, I love you so much. Happy Birthday gorgeous... Can’t wait to see you again and cover you in kisses and love."

Nicole is currently separated from family due to the coronavirus pandemic with the 53-year-old actress staying at her US home in Nashville, while Antonia is in Sydney with her family, including her six children.

Antonia recently took to Instagram to share another snap of herself and her daughter, this time with her son Hamish, 19.

One fan commented: "Lucia looks so much like you, absolutely gorgeous," while another added, "Mini mum."

"You daughter looks just like Nicole,” another wrote.

A source has previously told Woman's Day that Lucia, who is studying journalism, is keen on potentially following in her famous aunt's footsteps and getting into acting.

"Lucia adores Nicole and has her heart set on following in her footsteps - not just in her fashion sense either," they said.

"She's studying journalism but word is, she's being drawn closer to the acting world."

Antonia worked as a journalist with Channel Nine's Today show before moving to Newcastle and working as a reporter there.

Nicole has previously spoken about how she can't wait to see her family in Australia, telling the Sydney Morning Herald: "I have my immediate family here, but I don't have my extended family, who are so much a part of me. I can't touch them."

"So many people are in exactly the same position. So many people right now are going, 'When do I see my family again?'"

While in lockdown it appears Nicole has enjoyed watching Tiger King, like millions of others around the world.

She shared a photo to Instagram of herself in a leopard print outfit with the caption: "Hey all you cool cats and kittens," alongside a winking emoji. She added that her daughter 12-year-old daughter Sunday Rose, who she shares with husband Keith Urban, had taken the snap.
