Nicole Kidman has baby girl, Sunday Rose
NEW YORK (AFP) - Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman was Tuesday celebrating her first full day with her new baby girl Sunday Rose, her first child with country music star Keith Urban. "Nicole and Keith Urban are delighted to announce that Nicole Kidman gave birth to a baby girl on Monday morning, July 7, 2008 in the United States," her agent, Allen Eichhorn, said in a statement.
"Sunday Rose Kidman Urban weighed six pounds, seven and a half ounces (2.9 kilograms). Husband Keith was by Nicole's side and mother and baby are very well."
The birth of Sunday Rose, the 41-year-old actress's first biological child, comes just days after Kidman and Urban celebrated their second wedding anniversary on June 25.
Kidman, who won an Oscar in 2002 for her role in "The Hours," adopted a boy and a girl when she was married to Hollywood actor Tom Cruise. She had suffered a miscarriage in the early years of their marriage, which ended in 2001.
"We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers," Grammy-winner Urban, 40, said in a statement on his website announcing the birth of "our beautiful baby girl."
"We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today."
Ahead of the birth, the couple kept a low-profile as they followed their usual routine of heading out for Starbucks coffee and going to the gym in Nashville, Tennessee, where they live in a gated community, according to People magazine.
"She's never been happier and healthier," a close family friend told the magazine. "She is absolutely radiant and enjoying nesting and homemaking with Keith at their new home in Nashville."
Kidman was born in Hawaii to Australian parents and grew up in Australia. Urban was born in New Zealand but raised in Australia. He has lived in the United States since 1992 and become one of the hottest country stars here.
The couple met in January 2005 at a black-tie dinner in Los Angeles sponsored by the Australian government.
Asked by reporters in May how he felt about becoming a dad, Urban said: "The unknown excites me a lot.
"What kind of feelings will fatherhood bring? I'm sure I can't even imagine, but I am really looking forward to finding out."
