How Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis Bonded Over Being Girl Moms

by

Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis are alike in more ways than one. 

Jamie Lee shared that becoming parents together actually brought them closer while they were filming Scarpetta.

Jamie Lee Curtis and I are both mothers to two daughters,” she shared in an interview with TopMob News at the premiere of her new show. “We both understand how lucky we are to have this career, and with that comes a sense of responsibility.”

The 67-year-old actress explained that she and Nicole Kidman, who shares daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, with her ex-husband Keith Urban, both understood they needed to work together to get projects like the thriller Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell’s novels, completed.

Jamie Lee, who plays Nicole’s sister on the show, explained that the production is actively hiring and providing leadership opportunities. She believes setting that example for others is very important.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE this! Jamie Lee just said that she and Nicole were finally able to reconnect after a really awful tragedy – a friend they both knew passed away suddenly. She didn’t say who it was, which is totally understandable, but it’s just… so good to hear they found a way to support each other. I’m seriously tearing up just thinking about it! It feels like a huge weight has been lifted, knowing they’re there for each other now.

We were both heartbroken, and we supported each other through it,” she said. “We have a strong connection and definitely feel like sisters.

Nicole Kidman, who is also a mother to Bella Cruise, 33, and Connor Cruise, 31, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise, shared similar loving sentiments.

Everyone in the industry seems to connect with Jamie Lee Curtis,” she told TopMob News on the red carpet. “People genuinely feel like she’s a close friend, and she has a way of making those connections happen.

I’ve been a fan of Jamie Lee Curtis for years, and honestly, it’s hard to explain what makes her so special. Nicole Kidman said it best – she just can’t quite pinpoint what her ‘super power’ is, but she stressed that there really isn’t anyone else like her in Hollywood. It’s her genuineness, you know? She’s just deeply, authentically herself, and that shines through.

Nicole and Jamie Lee seem to have become fast friends, but they’re just one of many close relationships in Hollywood. Here’s a look at some other famous friendships…

I’ve been a huge fan of my sister-in-law’s films for years, so when I finally got the chance, I asked her if she’d recreate a few of my favorite scenes with me. We even did one from My Best Friend’s Wedding, which was amazing!

During a May 2024 appearance on the Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino podcast, she recounted telling Cameron, ‘I need you to run towards me from behind the luggage cart, towards the airport.’ She explained that she was directing Cameron, essentially telling her what to say while they were driving. She added that Cameron was incredibly accommodating and freely shared the story, which she really appreciated.

Luckily, Lawrence was available to hang out, otherwise we might have missed out on seeing one of our favorite friendships blossom! Their connection started when the Oscar-winning actress emailed Schumer after watching her 2015 movie, Trainwreck. As Lawrence recalled to The New York Times, she wrote, ‘I don’t know where to begin. I guess I should just say it: I’m in love with you.’ That initial email led to a back-and-forth exchange, eventually transitioning into text messages.

But their friendship truly solidified when Schumer casually invited Lawrence to join her and her high school friends for a trip to the Hamptons. Schumer was surprised when Lawrence accepted, but quickly realized she was “the coolest person you’ll ever meet,” as she shared on The Daily Show. Lawrence fit right in, becoming “one of the gang.”

Everyone could use a friend who’s successful and well-established, and Jennifer Lopez and Vanessa Remini have that kind of bond. They instantly connected when they met at the premiere of Man on Fire in 2004. Lopez described it as an immediate, strong connection – someone who makes you laugh and who you genuinely enjoy being around.

Remini was also thrilled to see Lopez perform at President Joe Biden’s inauguration. She told TopMob News that she messaged Lopez, reminding her of her Bronx roots and praising her performance as truly inspiring and beautiful to watch.

Considered the ultimate celebrity friendship, these three have been inseparable since they bonded while filming on the Warner Brothers lot. According to a source at TopMob News, “They came up together and shared the defining experience of working on Friends.”

Just like staying in touch with former colleagues, they prioritize regular get-togethers, from casual happy hours to larger reunions. The source adds, “It’s easy for them to connect—whether it’s for Courteney’s Sunday dinners or a pool party at Jennifer’s—and they remain incredibly close and always will be.”

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have been incredibly close friends ever since they met in an improv class in 1993, and they often describe their relationship as sisterly. Poehler, who has one younger brother named Greg, explained to PopSugar while promoting their 2015 movie Sisters that she feels like Fey is the sister she always wanted, giving her a family connection she hadn’t experienced before.

Philipps described meeting Williams on the set of Dawson’s Creek as love at first sight. They quickly became close friends and naturally fell into a comfortable, slightly rebellious dynamic – sharing wine, cigarettes, and even getting into the occasional bar fight. That instant connection has lasted for years. Luckily for fans, we get to see glimpses of their fun, coordinated style and playful moments – like when they dye Williams’ hair a perfect shade of millennial pink.

Drake and Adele, despite only recently starting to discuss working together, are eager to collaborate. After years of admiring each other’s music – they’ve won a combined 19 Grammy Awards – they began talking about a remix. Adele shared that she’s a big Drake fan, even ordering the same red coat he wore in a music video. Drake responded with equal enthusiasm, jokingly offering to do Adele’s laundry! Instead of immediately recording, they spent time together enjoying a meal and a bowling outing, hinting at future collaborations.

After receiving wonderful support from other women during her pregnancies, Washington has always made an effort to offer the same to her celebrity friends. She told Entertainment Tonight that she tries to have open and honest conversations, particularly with Eva Longoria. Longoria greatly appreciated Washington’s advice when she welcomed her son, Santiago, in 2018, playfully calling Washington “basically my doula.”

Oh my gosh, can you believe it? Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are working together again! It’s been over 20 years since Good Will Hunting won them an Oscar, and I’m losing it! They’ve been friends for 35 years, practically since they were kids, and you can just feel that connection still. Matt actually said they grew up together, both totally obsessed with acting and movies. He said they fueled each other’s passion when they were young, and that’s what made their friendship so strong – a lifelong bond! Seriously, I’m so excited to see what they create together this time with The Last Duel!

The friendship between two prominent television personalities began in 1976 while they worked at a Baltimore station. Although they held different positions – one was an anchor and the other a production assistant – they didn’t usually spend time together outside of work, as Gayle King explained in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. However, when a snowstorm hit, Winfrey invited King, who earned $12,000 a year as a PA, to stay with her. The next day, they went shopping at the mall, and a lasting friendship began – sparked by a shared interest in sweaters at Casual Corner.

While your dates probably don’t involve Wimbledon finals or royal palaces, Meghan Markle and a certain tennis champion actually connected in a very relatable way—through casual conversation. Meghan described how they ‘hit it off immediately’ at a 2014 Super Bowl event, sharing photos, laughing during a flag football game, and chatting about everyday things – not tennis or acting, but typical ‘girly stuff,’ as she wrote on her now-defunct website, The Tig.

Even though Game of Thrones is over, the close bond between Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams remains strong. Williams, who was a bridesmaid at Turner’s wedding to Joe Jonas in 2019, believes the most valuable outcome of the show’s eight seasons wasn’t its 12 Emmy awards. She playfully told TopMob News at the final season premiere that the show felt like a long journey to find her best friend. “I’m kidding, of course,” she added, “but having a friend like Sophie during such a crazy experience was a true blessing.”

Everyone’s heart probably melted watching Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s adorable reaction when their oldest daughter, James, recognized Taylor Swift’s song “Gorgeous” at a concert. Lively later joked about the video going viral, telling Robin Roberts on Good Morning America that it showed their “unfiltered and slightly embarrassing” pride as stage parents. But their genuine friendship with Swift – which includes celebrating the Fourth of July at her Rhode Island home, spending time at the couple’s country house, and even appearing in Swift’s music videos – is something special and worth cherishing.

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon have a friendship that goes way back, even before their Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show. They first acted together in 2000 when Witherspoon had a small role on an NBC show. Witherspoon, who had recently given birth to her daughter Ava, remembers being nervous about balancing work and motherhood on set. She was pumping breast milk while filming, and Aniston kept playfully asking about the baby. Witherspoon recalled Aniston’s kindness and how they’ve been close friends ever since.

Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg have an unlikely but captivating friendship that began at the 2015 Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. It blossomed further when they co-hosted the VH1 cooking show, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party. Snoop Dogg explained to LA Weekly that Martha is different from people he’s usually around, but in a good way. He appreciates that despite her different background and generation, she’s relatable and down-to-earth. He feels comfortable with her because she’s straightforward and genuine, making their connection feel natural and almost like a perfect match – ‘holy matrimony,’ as he put it, rather than just a casual pairing.
