Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman may be international celebrities, but even they are struggling amid the New South Wales lockdown.
In an interview with Sunrise this week, the country crooner – who shares daughters Sunday, 13, and Faith, 10, with his wife – opened up about the difficulty of homeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘It’s so hard, it’s really hard on the parents who are having to juggle their own jobs and responsibilities and try to be teachers as well,’ the 53-year-old said, who is currently in lockdown in Sydney with the kids.
