Nicole Kidman revealed in the cover story for the magazine:
“A lot of my friends tease me.”
But the celeb mom said she still has a strong belief in God and she’s raising her younger daughters in church.
In fact, the family of four attends church as a family. She said:
“That’s how we are raising our children. Keith has his own beliefs but he comes, too.
I had a very Catholic grandmother, and I was raised praying, so that had massive impact. I wouldn’t say it’s absolutism, there’s constant questioning — I’m a willful, feisty girl. For me it’s very important that I don’t have judgment. My dad would always say, ‘Tolerance is the most important thing.'”
This isn’t the first time the actress has opened up about her religion, in 2018 she told Allure she thought about becoming a nun before finding a career in acting.
