Nicole Kidman recently delighted fans with a rare snap of a beloved family member — her sweet dog, Julian!

Julian is Nicole's pet poodle, who she welcomed into her family in July 2019. The star rarely shares snaps of the pooch, so everyone was delighted to see not just one, but three new pictures of Julian on Nicole's Instagram feed.

Taking to social media, Nicole revealed the photos, captioning the images: "Passenger prince takes the wheel 🐾"

In the photo, Julian can be seen with his dog seatbelt on enjoying a ride in the car. And, in the last staged photo, Nicole has hilariously allowed the pooch to place his paws on the wheel!

In July 2019, Nicole announced that she had welcomed Julian into her family. Accompanying a sweet snap of her cuddling Julian as a puppy, she said: "My first puppy... actually my first dog. Been waiting my whole life for this! 🐶"

Aside from spending time with her cute dog and snapping some adorable pictures of him, Nicole has been busy lately with a variety of projects, including working on her latest TV show, Special Ops: Lioness, which she features in alongside an all-star cast — including Zoe Saldaña and Morgan Freeman.

And, in her personal life, the star has also been supporting her husband, singer Keith Urban, by attending various gigs that he has been playing.

Accompanying a video of Keith playing a show in Las Vegas, USA, Nicole said: "Last night in Vegas 💕 Come and see the show!"
