Nicole Kidman: I lost Tom's baby when I was 23
Nicole Kidman has revealed how she lost a baby early in her marriage to Tom Cruise.
The miscarriage, which she has never spoken about before, happened when she was 23.
But she was so desperate for a child that she and Cruise decided to adopt less than two years later.
Kidman makes the revelation in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, in which she also admits she has wanted a child of her own since she was 17.
Revealing: Nicole Kidman (photographed exclusively for Vanity Fair by Patrick Demarchelier) in the October issue of Vanity Fair, out on Friday, in which says she yearns to have a baby
Now 40 and married to country music star Keith Urban, she adds: “I'm yearning to have one. 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.”
Kidman has previously revealed that she discovered she was pregnant by Cruise after he filed for divorce in 2001 - but miscarried weeks later.
The couple had been plagued with rumours about their love life and possible reasons why they had not conceived. They adopted daughter Bella, now 14, and Connor, 12.
Kidman says: “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 it came that we would adopt Bella.
"There's a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told.”
She adds: “My mother has an adopted sister, so it's been part of our family, and I knew it would probably play out somewhere in mine. I didn't think it would happen so early, but it did.”
The star also reveals she became engaged to someone else between the split from Cruise and meeting Urban - fuelling speculation that the man may have been U.S. tycoon Steve Bing or pop star Lenny Kravitz, both of whom she dated.
She says: “I got engaged to somebody … but it just wasn't right. I wasn't ready. We weren't ready.”
She admits she was “lonely” when she met Urban and tells of being alone after winning her best actress Oscar for The Hours.
“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? Who do I jump on the bed with, and celebrate with, and order pancakes with?' That was painful, not having that person to share it with.”
Of Urban, 39, she adds: “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.”
Kidman insists they have come through the trauma of Urban's alcohol and drugs addiction. He entered rehab four months after their wedding last year.
She says: “We were in a very, very, very bad, painful place and have managed to step through it.”
Spicing It Up
Quote Of The Day
Not a Nicole fan since the divorce and why is she talking about it now??
This bitch should not be able to have another kid to neglect. She is photoshopped like crazy here, are there any saps who think she looks good and believes all of her bull?
I wonder how much he paid her to say that!
No-one seems to acknowledge what a frightened and miserable existence Tom, Nicole and Katie would all be living should they be covering all the lies of sexuality people refer to. Wouldn't every day bring the fear someone would out them? How do you cover such huge deceit for so many years??
didn't she start sleeping with tom while he was still married to mimi?
The hollywood buzz was Nic was busted cheating and got pregnant by the other guy having to abort or ruin career cause Tom wouldn't agree to keep quiet…very old story.
Re: J – thanks for some true insight stemming from intelligence.
Jen says – reply to this
Nicole has always had class and makes great films like Birthday Girl and The Invasion. In this pic, she likes like Evan Rachel Wood in her recent pictorial
With all due respect! Jen, you thought "Invasion" was good?
There is waaay more to this story than she told Vanity magazine. Who knows why they really divorced or the circumstances behind the miscarriages.
Now, I am no fan of Scientology and think that Tom Cruise is a little strange. However, why are so many people saying such negative things about him due to his religion. what does his religion have to do with his child. Why the comments that the child isn't his. There is no need to belittle Tom and his lifestyle because it is not what we are accustomed to living.
I wish Nicole ad Keith the best. May they boh overcome their personal demons.
what a brave woman - I'm not the type to ever respond to something like this but she's strong, real and an inspiration - thanks Nicole!
I can't wait till she spills the beans about Tom. I am pretty sure he's as strange as we all think he is. I bet all those years with him feel like a total waste of time.
i like nicole, always will, shes nice pretty and smart. toms weird, but he is a good dad.
Why is it "brave" to blab about very private matters in order to promote your upcoming movies? Not brave at all, ambitious and desperate for attention is more like it.
Nicole is as weird or even more weird than Tom. She lived with him 10 years and has said she didn't want the marriage to end, it was a perfect match of two very strange people.
Ok…What this is….is a NEW BEGINNING!
Keith is a SCORPIO, so he is tearing that ASS up! And she wanted to be freaky, and Bear her chest..well Nicole it is a Start! But i must say that the RED lipstick is SEXY! I love it! It is sad that you lost 2 kids, but Look at it this way…It wasn't meant for you to have kids by him! He was meant to have a kid, or kids by Katie Holmes, and Maybe you..with Keith Urban..God know what is right! Be happy with your kids now..They are not too grown yet..Now when they turn 18, that is a different story! LOVE YA!
I've always thought Tom is an asshole…no amount of teeth whitening/nose straightening/marrying a younger, worse actor wife will make him 'appear' any better…poor, sad Tom. Isn't it funny that NIC won the oscar AFTER losing the loser??!! I love Hollywood.
Re: She Lying – I'm with you. I recall reading Mimi Rogers saying that, also. And I remember the photos of Nicole coming out of the hospital in a wheel chair with miscarriage speculation, several months after Tom left. He also made that infamous comment, "Nick knows what she did." Yeah, she got pregnant by somebody else while having an affair because she couldn't stand being married to a freaky closeted Scientologist any more! My money is on the guy she was starring in Moulin Rouge with…or Russell Crowe. And what's that "someday the truth will come out" comment. Very mysterious. Can't wait for my issue to come in the mail! [Oh, and Nicole, who was naturally lovely, although a bit boyish in the face, has now become Queen Bee of Botox…too bad. And yeah, why DOESN"T she have those kids much? I doubt her current marriage will last. Sounds like they married for the wrong reasons, although what do I know?
Sympathy Oscar, she's not a very good actress, just has a great PR team.
She's pure class!
Re: PezHead – Actually, if anyone takes the time to look at pics of Katie Holmes' fiance before hooking up with the Cruiser, little Suri looks a LOT like this dude! Of course, now I can't even remember his name as he will no doubt be lost to obscurity. But who knows? Could all be conjecture. I do think Suri looks like Tom sometimes, too. Let's face it: they don't call it LA-LA land for nothing. These people are so spun dry — and polished — that they begin to believe their own mythology. So it's hard to know what is fact and what is fiction.
I'm sorry but why are her breasts and bra hanging out in the photo?
Re: oh my –
Right before Suri was born, Tom always said "I can't wait to have kids of my own." He also forgot about Isabella and Connor
Nicole you don't neeed a man to have a life. She is so pathetic!
I thought the rumor was that Tom is such a control freak/wifebeater that he punched Nicole in the abdomen once he found out about her pregnancy.
Both times.
Re: Hello? – Yeah, I really don't like the spin of this article… makes her sounds like she discounts her adopted children, like they don't count. Sure glad she isn't my mama! :p
No, is it NOT a shame that she lost Tom Cruise's baby. If she'd had it, only imagine how she would be trapped in that Scientologist La-La Land prison just like Katie is now. I feel happy for Nicole that she managed to escape that fate. Now if only Katie could.
people should really mind their own problems. it's not up to us to decide whether she is lying or not, what happened between her and cruise, it's their problem. i just hope she's happy with her new husband, and wish her the best.
Look at all these negative comments….people complain that celebs never open up to the public and we're left to speculate and assume certain things - or even worse the media just make stories up. But when someone high profile opens up about their private life, which they almost NEVER do - you all start slagging them!!! GIve the woman some respect for putting her story out there - c'mon, you all know that you are curious as to what when on in that marriage. Yes Tom divorced her before they reached the ten year mark to save him some $ - asshole. Isn't it a coincidence that he divorced his wife and sacked his long term publicist at the same time??? Tom has reached that level in scientology where he has to preach the word which explains why all of a sudden he is so vocal about scientology when he never spoke about it publicly it before - his publicist never let him. He had to eradicate all people in his life who weren't supportive of his beliefs. Tom has custody of those kids most of the time - maybe they wanted to stay in LA to not disrupt their schooling? Just because we don't see pics of Nicole & the kids doesn't mean she doesn't see them, she has them whenever she comes out to Australia she's just very private about it. Just because Tom is photographed with them all the time doesn't mean he is the better parent. Anyway, I happen to know that those kids have the same biological mother - different fathers.
OK Nic's lips do look a bit odd, But this interview seems very genuine and heartfelt. I am sure that Nic loves Bella and Connor and that is why she CHOOSES NOT TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED with them too often. She wants them to grow up as normal and healthy as possible. I am also sure that they would love their mum to have a baby, all kids do, adopted or natural.
In fact I don't think Nic said at any time that she doesn't love her children as everyone seems to be thinking, just that she hopes to have a natural birth. It was good enough for catalogue Ange!
Could she be a little more vague?
I don't buy it…..I would put money on it that Tom made a deal with Nicole to come out with this story of a miscarriage. Anyone remember that he couldn't conceive with his first wife Mimi Rogers? Come out, Tom!!
She completely ignores her adopted kids and now she wants 'her own child'?!? What would her kids think when they read this?! And honestly, leave Tom alone! I don't really like him too much either but he was obviously devastated about losing a child as well!
Truth be told - Wow, and everyone always thought she was so against having her own child due to body issues (another product of the rumor mill) She has always been on of my favorites, especially after she redeemed herself in Moulin Rouge. I think she's very brave for coming forward with such a private matter, and I now see her in a different light. Good luck to her
xoxo, Spliff
that looks like a really cheap bra to be showing where the hell are your vicky's or freddy's of hollywood damn girl a taste full bra would have made that pic really nice….
Uhhhhhh….isn't she a MAN, man?
Never remember her having nice sized breasts. Evidently she had breast augmentation surgery. They look great on the cover of Vanity Fair. Nicole, I am impressed!!!!!!!!
Here she is!!!
i've always loved nicole. she's better off without that twat of a man and she is a strong person. much love, nicole!
That's actually the most human I've seen her look since she OD'ed on plastic surgery after she divorced Tom. But damn, did she get her boobs done again? What is that, three boob jobs? I didn't even recognize her. Usually she's pulled tighter than a snare drum.
But why is SHE the cover story on VF? Can't they find someone a little more …relevant right now? Like what about Jake Gyllenhaal? Why hasn't he made the cover yet? Damn. He's fine. She's just fuckin' scary.
And before you correct me– Jake was on the cover of the Italian VF, not the American one.
Ok, I am a HUGE Nicole fan - she is one of the BEST actresses ever. However, for her to say she sat there and felt like she had no life b/c she had no man?????????? That pisses me off. She is a huge talent and a huge beauty (fuck the botox rumors, I don't care!) - please, she should not have felt sad. That really pisses me off. She is so much better than CRUISE. Fuck him. If you really watch her films you see her - she is hugely complex and sexual. Tom is NO match for her. It pisses me off that people write her off as some ice princess. WATCH her films - she is NOTHING like that.
By the way - breasts are courtesy of photoshop - NOT implants. Look at her "real" pics you'll see what I mean. If you can hate this woman, who is always classy, them you need to reevaluate yourself.
Sitting in a hotel room with big $$$$ holding an oscar. Poor baby. I'll trade places with you…
Tom is GAY GAY GAY.
LOVE her
Gosh, someone is spicing up her image!
i have it on good authority from a doctor at westmead hospital in sydney that nicole kidman cant have children and cant in fact get pregnant because she was born with a chromosomal condtion similar to turners syndrome that means she is missing the necessary functioning bits that a female needs to reproduce, why do you think she adopted??????????????????
Don't blame me. Xenu wouldn't have it.
SUCH CLASS. i love her. and tom cruise is insane now, so everything worked out for the best.
Re: Hello? –
Don't u think the reason u never see her with them is cuz she doesn't parade them around in front of the media like monkeys..ala Tom???? THINK about it!!
YUCK. She is gross. There is nothing sexy about this picture at all. She looks terrible. I prefer her as the ice queen in her Gucci power suit's. This is tacky!
i am disgusted with nicole for posing in her bra like the rest of the cheap whores for sale in hollywood. she was like an icon to me. classy, elegant a real old fashioned movie star. Why?
Bravo Nicole for telling it as it is, not that it's anyone's business, but for being straight about your life. I wish her the happiest of futures.
Two thoughts: her publicist has made this "desperate for media attention to pump up her career" magazine cover and interview too obviously desperate…. and: that's a sad story — she's a lovely woman, and I wish her well.
Re: fluffy galore – Because her career is flagging — despite the fact that she is beyond talented, she doesn't sell sex, so she's not on people's minds…and her publicist is trying to get attention for her with a *cough* classy magazine.
How sad! Like someone else said before, being lonely is not the best choice for a marriage. She doesn't sound like a happy person, neither having found the love of her life.
LOOOOOOVE nicole.
I totally love and respect Nicole for all that she has said! So glad she divorced Tom though..he is such a creep!! haha
Stop complaining, all of you. My hat off to Nicole for rebuilding her life. Also, no criticism towards Tom either. They are both people and everyone here knows that relationships are not easy. Bravo to them both for making whatever choices they needed to.
(And you people criticising Tom Cruise should probably look in the mirror and ask if you are any better.)
well at least she's telling the truth and not scared of it.
i salute her!
Altough a miscarriage is sad, she could have said "I lost MY baby when I was 23". Also, why the hell is she riding tom's coat tails now? Come on nicole, you're bigger than that!
I had a miscarriage… NOW LOOK AT MY BOOBIES! (that's why she's really saying)
I don't believe a word of it. I think he's infertile and that she got a lot of money to plant this story. Suri is Chris Klein's baby, not his.
POOR TOM
HE NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT LYING BITCH BUT SHE CANT HELP MENTIONNING TOM FOR PR BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM NOBODY WOULD CARE FOR THE RAZZIE WINNER CLOWN SHE IS.
YOUR MOVIES SUCKS AND FLOP BARBIE NICOLE BOTOX
LEAVE TO ALONE. HE GAVE YOU YOUR BIGGEST HIT THE OTHERS HEN HE DUMPED YOUR ASS BITCH
GOOD FOR YOU TOM !!! SURI IS GORGEOUS SHE LOOKS LIKE YOU SO MUCH! ADORABLE
Re: Denisa – Yes, I totally agree, I don't like her bc of that
Nicole, I hope you get the bundle of joy you've been waiting for your whole life and that you so deserve after all you've been through! Hugs.
I totally love and respect tOM FOR BEING THE ALWAYS PRESENT AND LOVING DAD AND SHUT UP ABOUT HIS PRIVATE LIFE So glad he divorced Nicold though..she is such a creep lying botox freak!! haha
Nicole is a goddess! She is, and always was, way too good for Tom "I'm a douce" Cruise anyway. Nicole, you are a brave woman, an inspiration. I wish her all the best.
Okay, whose boobs are those, really??? They sure aren't Nicole's unless she just had them installed! The woman is even flatter than I am (and, unfortunately, that's saying something!) If only we could all go around having ourselves photoshopped every minute of every day - wouldn't life be PERFECT??? Ho, ho, ho
Is it me or is does she sound really dumb? She barely form coherent sentences.
Is it me or is does she sound really dumb? She can barely form coherent sentences.
Love her. I am so happy for she and Keith. And I wish them the best of lucky for a long run filled with love and the babies she's always dreamed of.
She may look like a porcelain doll but she's a very strong person deep inside. I admire her for who she is.
Nicole is too HOT to be involved with short lil' old Tom Cruise. Even if he is the best paid actor in Hollywood…WHO CARES! She's paid and has an Oscar too, what else matters! Lenny Kravitz would've been perfect for her. He's funky and would've made her whole. Too bad she's chosen Keith over Lenny, why would Nicole wanna deal with DRUG and ALCOHOL addicted Keith if she's clean…what a bad choice.
Re: aquabitch – what the?? 2 miscarriage does not mean something is wrong with you. Small minded idiot..
I'm loving nicole's botox!!!!!
She need to stop lyin about having two miscarriages. She know she had an abortion because she was a hot new Hollywood actress and didn't want a baby to fuck it up for her. Actresses are starting to make having babies a popular new fad. If she had a miscarriage, I'm sure her doctor would tell her why and whats wrong with her and she would have disclose it in the interview,,, if she knew.
I am a plastic surgeon, she clearly has fake breasts and has had a lot of facial work. The reason she can't conceive is she has testicular femininisation syndrome- she has XY chromosome (like a man) and no normal ovaries. People with the syndrome are tall and masculine like with no hips much like Nicole. Her false miscarriage stories are pathetic.

Well, it's great that you can know someone's full medical history just by looking at a picture, you must make tons of money. Are all women who are tall and thin stricken with that condition?
I hope you don't make judgements with that lack of information with your patients or there are bound to be a lot of cut up Michael Jackson looking freaks in your office looking to sue your quack ass.
i don't know why she often brings up Tom's name after the divorce and all. just like jennifer aniston was doing after her divorce from Brad. kinda makes it seem like they want everyone to pity them or be on their side. just my opinion. i've always thought nicole kidman was pretty in her own way…but that cover doesn't her do her justice…it makes her look very unclassy for some reason.
Re: brandyblue – I don't know people's medical history just by looking at them. But when they insert two pneumatic balloons under their previously flat chest, their nose, cheekbones and lips change shape miraculously over the years, it doesn't take a plastic surgeon to notice…In terms of the XY business, I have inside information.
Well… it seems she needs attention lately, at least she get rid of those awful cheek implants…a friend told me, He is a top Italian plastic surgeon, and she was looking like a chipmunk so…her agent decided to hire the best plastic surgeon on Italy to remove those things…she had a new ones, but smaller and more rounded…good for her, i always liked her…she is very talented..i hope she never have breast implants, i like her figure, so skinny and classy, don´t u think?
we've heard that one of those babies was Ewan's
you would think vanity fair would put a prettyer younger actress on the cover then some old hag? lmao what a bummer.
& may i add anybody could careless about her miscariagess and what not :]
andd lovee perez hiltonn !

"nicole, we're going to put you in a sailor's suit and have you tell about your miscarriages…"
i'm not getting the outfit. and it doesn't even look like her. i feel bad for her, but why even mention tom after the divorce?
Well her career is long gone so she might as well do SOMETHING
shes beautiful
obviously she didnt get her boobs done. she still looks the same in movies, they must have just airbrushed it.
who cares if shes had work done. shes got the money, why not? she always seems so nice, i think shes gorgous.
beautiful, talented.
Anyone else notice that after Tom and Nic split, she was suddenly all over the place and she could act! I think that scientology freak was holding her back. Way to go Nicole, I adore you!
