Nicole Kidman has been open about struggling with grief since losing her beloved mother, Janelle, in September 2024. Now her niece, Lucia Hawley , has shared how Janelle's loss led her to make a major life change just four months on from her passing. The 26-year-old, whose mother is Nicole's younger sister Antonia , took to Instagram to explain her new direction.
Nicole Kidman bursts into tears during emotional appearance "The end of January always feels a little flat to me," she wrote, before likening returning from her holiday to "smashing through a glass door." "At the tail end of 2024, I experienced quite a few significant life changes, the main two being that I lost my grandma and left my role in TV," she continued. Lucia previously worked for 7Bravo as a red-carpet reporter, after completing an Arts degree at the University of Sydney.
"The culmination of these events sparked a massive desire for change in my life— a longing for something different," Lucia added. "As many of you know, I spent the past two years working as an entertainment reporter— a job I had pined for throughout my adolescence." "The experience opened up amazing opportunities, and I made friends for life with some of my colleagues.
However, the work—whilst glamorous and exciting—did not completely fulfill me." The reporter shared that she was moving to freelance work as she plans an overseas move, with her sights set on Los Angeles. Lucia interned with Vogue Australia in the past and worked for.
