Dr. Antony Kidman, the esteemed psychologist and father of Hollywood A-lister Nicole Kidman, has been rushed to hospital in Singapore following a sudden and severe medical emergency.
The 75-year-old academic and author, a respected figure in his own right, was understood to be visiting his other daughter, Antonia, a renowned television presenter based in the city-state, when the incident occurred. The nature of his condition has not been publicly disclosed, but the situation is reported to be grave.
The news has sent shockwaves through the family, with Nicole Kidman's representatives confirming the situation. A spokesperson for the Oscar-winning actress stated, "Nicole is aware of the situation with her father and is being kept informed. The family would appreciate privacy at this difficult time."
Dr. Kidman, a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society, has had a long and distinguished career. He was the director of the Health Psychology Unit at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and authored several books on wellbeing and psychology, making him a leading voice in the field.
The family is now gathered in vigil, awaiting further news on his condition. This devastating event comes just over a decade after the family suffered the tragic loss of Nicole and Antonia's mother, Janelle Kidman, to cancer in 2014.
