Kidman recently told Vanity Fair that she had a miscarriage early on in her relationship with Cruise, leading them to adopt. It has also been reported that Kidman suffered an ectopic pregnancy while married to Cruise.
After marrying native New Zealander Urban in 2006, Kidman stated: "I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby. Keith knows I want one, and he has been getting there slowly."
The baby is the first for Kidman and Urban, who married in June 2006. She has two children,

Urban, 40, won a Grammy in 2006 for best male country vocal.
"The unknown excites me a lot," Urban told reporters in May. "What kind of feelings will fatherhood bring? I'm sure I can't even imagine, but I am really looking forward to finding out
The couple, who were both raised in Australia, have a home in Nashville.
