Lucia Hawley is making a major move. 

The 27-year-old journalist – who is the daughter of TV presenter Antonia Kidman and niece of Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman – is moving to London to chase her journalism dreams. 

Lucia, who has followed her mother’s footsteps into the world of media, is hoping to land work in the British capital. 

‘I am chasing the artistic pursuit of writing. I have been keeping a journal since I was 10-years-old. I think it’s pretty competitive in London in the media space, but I’m going for the experience’ she told the Daily Telegraph. 

‘So hopefully I’ll land a job in media over there either writing or in broadcast.

‘I’ve started like cold emailing editors and a few of them have actually responded which is awesome.’

Lucia said she is excited to be ‘a little closer to my aunty and cousins’ which she called ‘a real comfort.’ 

Her aunt Nicole, who is based in Nashville, will now be a much shorter flight away than she was when Lucia was based in Australia.

Lucia is moving along with her boyfriend, Henry Poole, and says she always felt a ‘pull’ towards London.  

The aspiring journalist has previously made it clear that she refuses to be called a ‘nepo baby’. 

When Lucia was asked about getting a familial leg-up into her field of choice in 2023, she told the Sunday Telegraph, ‘No, I’ve been working towards this.’ 

The term ‘nepo baby’, short for ‘nepotism baby’, is a person who gains success or opportunities through familial connections especially, a child of a famous parent.

‘When I left my job in presenting, what meant the most to me were the heartfelt messages I received from my colleagues— my friends,’ she continued. 

‘Those connections were greater than any celebrity meeting, VIP event or viral Austin Butler interview (real ones will know). In fact, the work that has felt the most meaningful and authentic to me is my written work.

‘By no means am I saying that my writing is super important or life-changing, but it is definitely what fulfils me most.’ 

Lucia ended her post on Tuesday by announcing a new journalistic-style series for her blog, titled I Want Her Job, in which the aspiring journalist will interview famous and successful women. 

‘Hopefully I’ll land a job in media over there either writing or in broadcast. I’ve started like cold emailing editors and a few of them have actually responded which is awesome’ she said

In the sole acknowledgement of her family’s vast wealth, fame, and no doubt helpful industry connections in her post, Lucia writes that she knows ‘it’s a luxury to do what you love for a living.’  

Lucia started her TV career after studying Arts at the elite University of Sydney.

Following her degree and internship at Vogue Australia, she started working at a production company as an assistant and later applied for a job at 9Honey — Channel Nine’s women’s network.

She eventually landed a role with NBC Universal – who launched 7Bravo in 2022.
