OK, Nicole Kidman May Be Pregnant After All
It looks like Britain’s Daily Mail is playing tug-of-war with the Nicole Kidman pregnancy story they broke a few days ago. After publishing the article, which asserted the 40-year-old actress was expecting her first child with musician and husband Keith Urban, also 40, Ms. Kidman’s publicist came up swinging.
“[The pregnancy report] is incorrect...[Ms. Kidman] must have had about 30 babies by now,” the rep said soon after the Daily Mail story was published. In no hurry to skirt the issue at hand, the paper’s headline was rather direct: ‘“I’m pregnant’ says delighted Nicole Kidman” read more »
Nicole Kidman's Publicist Denies Pregnancy Reports
Despite contrary reports from Britain’s Daily Mail, Nicole Kidman is not expecting a child, according to the 40-year-old actress’ publicist in Australia.
“It is incorrect...she must have had about 30 babies by now,” Ms. Kidman's rep told E!, adding: “She's in Australia making a film, and her family are in Australia. She's happily ensconced away somewhere having a few days' break. It's the silly season. As far as we're concerned, it's another rumor out of London.”
Nicole Kidman Expects First Biological Birth
Despite talk of marital strife, Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are expecting their first child. According to Britain’s Daily Mail, the 40-year-old actress and the country musician—who has, since they married in June of 2006, been dealing with substance abuse issues—broke the good news to their families over the Christmas holiday.
If all goes well, the child will be Ms. Kidman’s first successful delivery. During her marriage to Tom Cruise, the divorced couple adopted two children together—Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, The Golden Compass star also revealed that she suffered a miscarriage when married to Mr. Cruise. “[T]that was really very traumatic,” she told the magazine at the time.
The actress and Mr. Urban spent Christmas together in Sydney, where Ms. Kidman finished working on director Baz Luhrmann’s forthcoming Australia.
UPDATE: Since the Daily Mail story broke, an Australian publicist for Ms. Kidman has publicly denied that the actress is pregnant.
Kidman: Urban Marriage Is Hard Work
Nicole Kidman has publicly confronted the possibility that her marriage to country Kiwi musician Keith Urban, who has been battling a substance abuse, might not make it into the hereafter.
In a recent interview with US magazine, Ms. Kidman, 40, explained:
“You never know where something’s going…My husband and I are committed to each other and deeply in love. That’s how I would put it. We are working on staying in that place and hopefully we will for the rest of our lives.”
She then went on to refute the interviewer’s insistence that the couple seemed happy together. “I don’t ever say that,” Ms. Kidman reportedly said.
