The first miscarriage

Nicole Kidman married Tom Cruise in 1990. Soon after that when she was 23 she had her first pregnancy which soon ended in a miscarriage.

Nicole said that it was an ectopic pregnancy in which the embryo had got implanted and started growing ineffectively in the fallopian tube of Nicole rather than in the womb.

Nicole had become pregnant again but her marriage was collapsing and Tom Cruise filed for divorce in 2001 after 11 years of togetherness. Due to the mental trauma at that time, this pregnancy of Nicole also got terminated and led to a miscarriage.

The couple, Nicole and Tom then adopted two children who are Isabella and Connor who are currently 25 and 23 years old. Nicole further said:

“There’s an enormous amount of pain and an enormous amount of joy on the other side of it. The flipside of going through so much yearning and pain to get there is the feeling of ‘Ahhhh!’ when you have the child.”

Nicole and her personal life

After her divorce from Tom Cruise in August 2001 which was seemingly facilitated by Mark Rathbun (former Church of Scientology executive) on the instructions of someone probably Tom Cruise, in January 2005, Nicole met Keith Urban at G’Day, LA which is an event to honor Australians.

They started dating and married on 25 June 2006 at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on the grounds of St Patrick’s Estate, Manly in Sydney.

The couple’s first child a daughter named Sunday was born in Nashville in 2008. In 2010, Nicole had her second daughter Faith with Keith via surrogacy.

Nicole’s unfulfilled desires

Nicole and Keith have openly expressed their desire to expand their family. Nicole stated that she has interest in fostering a child. Last year, she was on BBC Radio 4 and said:

“I’m one of the few people in the world who has experienced so many different forms of (motherhood). But I haven’t had the child from a donor egg. I haven’t also been a foster mother and I’m very interested in that… But I did foster a child that I met through school, an aboriginal boy.”

Nicole and Keith wanted to have a third baby via surrogacy since Nicole could not conceive naturally, but their dreams shattered when Nicole’s Church stated that it was against surrogacy.

Her Church’s father Ed Steiner said to Radar:

“In our tradition we would say using a surrogate should not be done.”

He added:

“A person’s choice is their choice and they have to make it according to conscience. Our job is to help them form their conscience and then make a decision.”
