Nicole Kidman seeks Portuguese residency following break-in at her Los Angeles home.

Nicole Kidman is taking significant steps toward establishing a new life in Portugal, just months after an unsettling burglary at her Los Angeles home. The acclaimed actress, known for her outstanding contributions to cinema, arrived in Lisbon on a recent Sunday. Along with her husband, country music artist Keith Urban, the couple purchased property in Portugal last year and has since taken steps to apply for Portuguese residency.

Reports indicate that Kidman has submitted an application for a residence permit through the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum. Urban was unable to accompany her for this important appointment, as he is currently engaged in a concert tour across the United States.

The decision for Kidman to seek residence in Portugal appears to align with her professional commitments. She intends to reside in the European nation while filming the anticipated sequel to “Practical Magic,” which is set in London, a city that is conveniently located just a three-hour flight away from Lisbon.

The couple, who are parents to two daughters, Sunday and Faith, have been primarily based in Nashville, Tennessee, but have also maintained a home near Los Angeles. This California residence was particularly vulnerable earlier this year when it was reported that intruders broke into their home while the family was away. The incident, which occurred in mid-February, was thwarted when one of the couple’s employees encountered the suspect. Fortunately, it remains unclear whether any valuables were taken during the break-in.

Kidman and Urban’s experience is not unique, as a number of high-profile celebrities have faced similar security breaches at their homes in Southern California in recent months. Other notable figures, including actors Simu Liu, Sophia Bush, Marlon Wayans, and the renowned couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, have also reported incidents of burglary.

With the continuing rise in celebrity home invasions, Kidman’s move to Portugal reflects both a personal desire for safety and a professional opportunity, as she navigates her career in the film industry. As more details emerge regarding her application for residency, the public and media alike will be keen to follow her journey and the implications for her career and family life in the years ahead.
