Nicole Kidman Reveals Miscarriage

Nicole Kidman is finally opening up about the miscarriage she had while married to Tom Cruise -- well, sort of. Nicole, who almost never discusses the loss, told the new issue of Vanity Fair, "From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies. And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that's when we would adopt [daughter] Bella." The couple went on to adopt a son, Connor, as well, but Nicole never gave birth to a child. The actress cryptically told VF of the miscarriage, "There's a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told."

Nicole also talks about the downside to winning her Oscar (for The Hours in 2003):
"It felt big. It felt lonely and big. You're in a hotel and you're like, okay well, I'm sitting in this big suite with an Oscar, and I still don't have a life. What is wrong with me? It hit home that I needed to get a life. Who do I jump on the bed with, and celebrate with, and order pancakes with?"

On meeting her current hubby, Keith Urban:
"I think we were two lonely people. I would probably say that two very lonely people managed to meet at a time when they could open themselves to each other. We were a mixture of frightened and brave."

On Keith entering rehab, just four months after they married:
"It was just another twist in my life: Here it goes. Hold on, and off we go! But it was very painful, deeply painful. We were in a very, very, very bad, painful place, and have managed to step through it, and I hope that gives some people some hope who may be in the same place. And that's enough said. Anything else is overindulgent and unnecessary right now. And I think it jinxes it, in a way, and that's why I don't go on about my enormous feelings for this man."

In addition, Nicole admits to still "yearning" to have a baby of her own, and that Keith is "getting there slowly." She adds, "I've learned an enormous amount having a relationship with someone who is in recovery. I'm more than willing to walk it with him. The two of us are very committed to our relationship."

Pure class.

I see Mrs. Urban is still on the $cientology payroll. I don't believe it either.

Although I've never had a miscarriage, I can understand the pain. I feel bad for her and I hope she can have that baby soon.

First of all Nicole looks HOT on the cover, I am sorry for her loss it is very painful, but talking about it helps it shows that your moving forward and that is always positive. What's with the scientology thing, I didn't think she was into that? Keith and Nicole both sound like they are needed...

So when did Nicole become a $cientologist? She never was in all the time she was married to Tom, which may be one of the reasons their marriage hit the skids. I hope eventually she can have a child of her own.

I remember reading a Tom Cruise interview years ago where admitted that he could not have children due to an injury. Now he has a daughter and Nicole admits she miscarried his child? This reeks of conspiracy...

i agree.. i could have sworn hearing something about either Nicole being unable to have children or something wrong with Tom & yet there is TOMKAT being proud parents. well either way I love Nicole Kidman. she is grand, classy, an excellent actress, & CATHOLIC (i thought). i believe her keeping mum is strictly a wise personality trait & we should respect her.

I think Nicole Kidman is an amazing person with so much class. She doesn't want to say anything that would hurt her two children. I believe she is Catholic, btw; wasn't she married in a Catholic church?

I thought Tom Cruise couldn't have kids either; not with Mimi Rogers or Nicole Kidman. I didn't realize she had TWO miscarriages with TC; that's a lot to deal with.

I'm also still suspicious about Suri, though. Any ideas how that could have happened? (Besides the old-fashioned way, of course! :) )

Didnt Nicole miscarry when her and Tom Cruise split up? If its true that means she had two, poor lady !! Its a good thing she didn't have a biological baby with that prick with a short stick !! Where's scientology when your sperm needs it!!

Dominique said:

I am so sorry about her loss of her baby. And i know its hard on her especially when she always have the spotlight on her.

So, this miscarriage must not be the one she had shortly after they separated.

nadia said:

Hmm. .. I thought this must be the miscarriage she had shortly after they separated or maybe it was the reason they separated as it seemed to happen right around then ....hmmmm .... she is good at being cryptic
