The Sly Comment That Proves Sandra Bullock's Friendship With Nicole Kidman Is As Real As It Gets

There have been some memorable friendships in Hollywood history, and Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have made the list. Like celeb BFFs Madonna and Debi Mazar, who have evolved together during their decades-long friendship, so have Kidman and Bullock after they sparked a lifelong bond on the set of 1998's "Practical Magic." But now, with the arrival of "Practical Magic 2" in 2026, their long-time friendship has also taken center stage. And a recent interaction on the podcast "Therapuss with Jake Shane" just highlights how genuine and sincere their friendship is. 

When asked by the host on how to handle a romantic relationship when you despise your boyfriend's music, Bullock had the perfect witty response: "That's a tricky one. Nicole...?" Kidman burst into laughter, instantly understanding Bullock's reference to her 2025 divorce from musician Keith Urban. The ability to take light digs at each other certainly emphasizes the pair's close friendship, and fans appreciated their humor in the comments. "Deaddddd. Everyone needs a friend like Sandy," an Instagram user commented. Truer words have never been spoken.

It's an understatement to say that both Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have been through their own upheavals since "Practical Magic." From tragedies to divorces that were splashed on the front pages of magazines, these two veterans of the silver screen have been there for each other through ups and downs. In an exclusive interview with People, Bullock summarized their friendship in a simple sentence: "We're each other's life raft."

And Bullock didn't disappoint when Kidman was going through a tough time navigating her split from Keith Urban. The two stars put their heads together to make sure their filming schedule for the "Practical Magic" sequel coincided with their children's summer vacations. On their off days, Kidman and Bullock would spend time together with all the kids for fun, perhaps also helping take Kidman's mind off of Urban for a while. And it seemed to work like a dream, as seen in how Nicole Kidman's post-divorce style transformation is a glow-up for the ages.
