A Surprising Reconnection
In a surprising turn of events, Keith Urban’s daughter, Sunday Rose, has taken a step towards mending potential family tensions. The 17-year-old had previously been seen not following her father on Instagram, which sparked speculation about a rift in their relationship. However, recent developments suggest that this may be changing.
New Idea had previously reported that Sunday was not following Keith on social media, but now she has re-followed him, signaling an apparent olive branch. This shift has caught the attention of fans and media alike, especially given the ongoing discussions about the family’s dynamics.
Family Dynamics and Public Silence
Since Keith’s separation from Nicole, the couple’s two daughters, Sunday and Faith, have not been seen publicly with him for over 100 days. Despite this, the family has maintained a united front, at least in public appearances. When asked about Sunday’s social media behavior, Keith provided a brief response, stating, “Family is private,” in his first public comment since the split.
However, just days after this statement, it was discovered that Sunday had re-followed Keith on Instagram. This move came to light through a search conducted on May 4, 2026, which revealed her return to his profile. It remains unclear exactly when or why this happened, but previous searches on April 21, 2026, showed that Nicole was still in Sunday’s “following” list, while Keith was not.
Keith’s Continued Presence
Despite the apparent social media snub, Keith continues to follow both Sunday and Nicole on Instagram. His youngest daughter, Faith, who is 15 years old, has a public social media handle but does not actively use it and follows zero accounts. This quiet presence highlights the delicate balance the family is trying to maintain.
A source close to Keith shared insights into the emotional toll this situation has taken on him. “Keith is sick of being painted as the bad guy all the time,” the source told New Idea. “This is a deep wound, and he can’t sleep at night until this is made right.”
Public Statements and Media Attention
Sunday’s recent interview with ELLE Australia further fueled speculation about the family’s dynamics. In the March issue, she did not mention Keith, instead citing Nicole as her “biggest inspiration.” She shared, “My mum is someone who has always been so creative and my biggest inspiration in life. She’s a key part of everything I do.”
The interview also included advice from Nicole: “The biggest piece of industry advice Mum has given to me is to always be on time.” This statement added to the rumors of an estrangement, especially after Nicole made a rare public appearance with Sunday and Faith at Paris Fashion Week.
Custody Arrangements and Public Appearances
Nicole obtained primary custody of the two girls, and she has been seen taking them to various events, including a trip to her native Australia for Christmas. Meanwhile, Keith remained in Nashville. The custody agreement, finalized in January 2026, grants Nicole 306 days with the children annually, while Keith is allowed 59 days, generally every other weekend.
The agreement also includes a stipulation that neither parent should speak poorly of the other around their children. As the family navigates these arrangements, there are signs of a potential reconciliation, especially with Sunday set to attend the 2026 Met Gala with Nicole on May 4, marking more public appearances after being kept out of the limelight as a child.
