Having a miscarriage must rank as one of the worst things that can happen to a woman, so hats off to Nicole Kidman being brave enough to talk about hers – and double points to her for doing it while dressed up as a slutty sailor.
Nicole Kidman has given one of the most revealing interviews of her life to Vanity Fair magazine, where she discusses the baby she lost when she first met Tom Cruise, the baby she miscarried shortly after splitting up with Tom Cruise and a mysterious engagement to someone we don't know the identity of, all while hinting darkly at various 'complictions'. Intriguing stuff, and only slightly let down by the fact that Nicole Kidman's wounded secrets are splashed across the Vanity Fair cover next to a picture of Nicole Kidman in a sailor's hat with her bra out. Next month, discusses the agony of having an estranged father while riding a tiny unicycle round a circus tent and rubbing her nipples with an ice cube.
For the highest-earning female moviestar in the world, not much is actually known about Nicole Kidman. We know that she's not very good at driving cars with zombies on the top and that – by being with Tom Cruise for 11 years – she's capable of going longer without pushing Tom Cruise down some stairs than we ever could be, but that's just about all we know about Nicole Kidman. That's partly because she's such an accomplished actress that she probably thinks knowing too much about her personality will detract from the roles she inhabits, but also partly because when she does emerge from her shell, all Nicole Kidman ever bloody talks about is wanting a baby.
Ever since she left Tom Cruise the only thing anyone ever heard were rumours about Nicole Kidman being pregnant and stories about Nicole Kidman describing how much she wanted a baby. But the thing is, Nicole Kidman has actually been pregnant in the past. A couple of times, in fact – and both with Tom Cruise's children. However, now that Tom Cruise has a baby for himself, Nicole Kidman has decided to finally open up about her lost pregnancies in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. People reports:
"From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies," Kidman, 40 (and 22 when she met Cruise), tells Vanity Fair for its October issue. "And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that's when we would adopt [daughter] Bella," now 14. In the interview, Kidman is described as cryptic when she goes on to say, "There's a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told."
Whatever could Nicole Kidman mean? Was it something to do with Scientology that was complicating things for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, or was there something else going on? Luckily Nicole Kidman wasn't so cryptic when it came to describing the man she got engaged to shortly after she split up with Tom Crui… oh, who are we kidding? Nicole Kidman was even more cryptic about that:
"I got engaged to somebody… but it just wasn't right. I wasn't ready. We weren't ready."
Again, who could possibly guess which man was engaged to Nicole Kidman (coughLennyKravitzcough). But, as sad as they may be, Nicole Kidman's miscarriages and failed marriages and engagements were an important part of her life – if all of that stuff hadn't gone so painfully wrong for Nicole, she'd have never ended up where she is now, with a pissed-up cowboy for a husband. Seriously, she must be thrilled.

You are so right. In between Cruise and Urban she told the world that when she finally met “Mr. Right” , she would give up movies and devote herslef to him and having babies. She has since met Mr. Right and married him. But there the prophecy ends. She has left Mr. Right to film in far distant places and signed up for five more movies back to back. all over the world. On top of this, she is 40 years of age. Clearly, her quote from Vogue “I yearn to be pregnant” was not the truth either.
She sees the two children she already has once every six months. Heaven help another innocent child that may be forced to call Kidman Mother. Oh well, guess she could always ‘phone in’ maternal messages just like she ‘phones in’ her movie performances.
yeah right says
I’d consider my self lucky if I ended up with a “pissed-up cowboy” like Keith Urban.
Somebody who has practically given up his career for his wife? Yeah, I’d take him.
Poor Keith Urban though. He ended up with Kidman. Somebody who talks a good game
but never backs up anything she’s said she’d do. How many movies does she have planned?
4 after Australia, I believe. Yeah, for somebody who is “yearning” to have a baby and whose
husband has said he wants a baby next year, she sure is keeping herself booked up. This is
just more PR for “poor” Nicole.
