In a candid interview with Tatler magazine, Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman revealed her deeply personal experiences with miscarriages during her marriage to Tom Cruise in the late 1990s. The Oscar-winning actress shared how these heart-wrenching moments have impacted her life and perspective on motherhood.
Back when she was just 23 years old, Nicole faced one of the toughest challenges any woman could endure—an ectopic pregnancy. This occurs when an embryo develops in the fallopian tube instead of the womb, making it impossible for the pregnancy to continue. To make matters even more challenging, she endured another miscarriage shortly before her 2001 divorce from Tom. Reflecting on those experiences, Nicole expressed her heartfelt emotions: "There's this deep, aching yearning that stays with you. I know that yearning. And the loss! The loss of a miscarriage is something that isn't talked about nearly enough. It's a massive grief that so many women carry silently," she told Tatler.

Over the course of their nine-year marriage, Tom and Nicole adopted two beautiful children together—son Connor, now 23, and daughter Isabella, 25. In a 2007 interview with Marie Claire, Nicole opened up about her and Tom's desire to start a family. "From the moment Tom and I got married, I wanted nothing more than to have babies," she revealed. "We lost a baby early on, and that was absolutely devastating. It was such a traumatic experience that it led us to decide we would adopt Bella." The couple's journey through adoption became a significant chapter in their lives, one that they embraced with open hearts.

Life with Keith Urban and Their Growing Family
Today, Nicole is happily married to country music star Keith Urban, and the couple has two daughters together—Sunday, 9, and Faith, 7, who were born via surrogate. Nicole has always been vocal about her desire to expand her family, and while she acknowledges the challenges that come with her age, she remains hopeful.

If fate has other plans, she'd be absolutely thrilled." Fans around the world are rooting for Nicole and Keith as they continue to build their beautiful family together.
