Nicole Kidman on the February 2011 cover of Australian Women's Weekly
Nicole Kidman wants to have more children with Keith Urban and says she no longer cares about the public’s perception of her two oldest children living with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, or that she is not a part of their everyday lives.
“At this stage, I don’t care what people’s perceptions might be about any of it. It’s my life. It’s my whole life, and I’ll lead it how I choose,” a defiant Kidman tells the February edition of The Australian Women’s Weekly.
Update: Lovely news just out: Kidman and Urban announced in the newest edition of American magazine, People, that they have been blessed with the arrival of a new baby who was born in Nashville via a surrogate mother on December 28.
The baby, Faith Margaret, is Kidman’s and Urban’s biological child.
Congratulations.
Kidman says she will never publicly discuss Isabella’s and Connor’s living arrangements “except to say that I absolutely love them”.
And if you thought the Oscar winning actress was finally about to give up the reasons behind her sudden split from Cruise a decade ago – think again.
The Hawaiian-born, Nashville-based star who earlier today missed out on a Golden Globe for her performance in her latest film, Rabbit Hole, allows only that it took her six years to “heal” from the pain of the divorce after 10 years of marriage.
“I took a long time to heal, put it that way. I was just very cautious” she tells Bryce Corbett in an exclusive harbour-side chat. “I just really wanted to spend time alone so I could heal. And that took me almost six years, which is unusual I know, but that was just how it was. It had to do with me not having anything to give anyone else.”
Meanwhile, the 43-year-old says she “would love to have more kids” with Urban, with whom she plans on spending the rest of her life.
Kidman was finally “open” to falling in love again when the country crooner came along and asked how her heart was. They have a two-year-old daughter, Sunday.
Kidman looks stunning on the cover, which the mag admits has been “retouched” but not to what extent. Corbett writes “there are smile lines at the corners of her eyes and frown lines on her forehead” but Kidman was still “genetically-blessed”.
