SYDNEY:

Hollywood superstar Nicole Kidman is expecting her first baby with her husband, country crooner Keith Urban, her publicist said on January 8.

Kidman has two adopted two children with her former husband, Tom Cruise.

But this would be the first natural child for the Australian actress, who last year revealed she suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage during her 10-year marriage to Cruise.

“Kidman and Keith Urban confirmed today that they are expecting a baby, the couple are thrilled,” publicist Wendy Day said in a statement. Day said she only learned in a phone call from Kidman on Tuesday morning that the latest media reports about a pregnancy were correct.
