Nicole Kidman Seen with Kids She Keeps Out of Spotlight Years after Bearing a Child despite Doctors’ Doubts

• Nicole Kidman was seen on a rare outing with her two teenage daughters, who had grown up so much over the years.
• While married to Tom Cruise, the actress struggled with pregnancy issues and never welcomed biological children.
• When she married her second husband, the couple welcomed their daughters despite doctors believing Kidman would never bear children.

In 2018, country music singer Keith Urban revealed how he and his actress wife, Nicole Kidman, preferred raising their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, out of the spotlight as much as possible.

The "Somebody Like You" star explained how he and his family have a normal, everyday life, doing everyday things other families did.

The difference is that the family does not live their lives on social media. They don''t even bother reading tabloid stories, refusing to give such media attention.

In a rare sighting on August 3, 2023, the Oscar Award-winning actress, 56, was seen at the Sydney airport returning to the US with her children.

The star seemed to be trying to look inconspicuous while wearing all black, including a black baseball cap and matching sunglasses. Sunday was her mother's lookalike sporting sunglasses too.

The airport sighting happened weeks after Sunday's 15th birthday. In an article by Closer Weekly posted on Facebook, a snippet of the two girls show how much they've grown. Moreover, followers agreed that the girls each resembled one of their parents. One follower noted:

"I love how one favors Keith, and one favors Nicole."

Kidman struggled for a long time to have children, and it began during her first marriage to another famous actor.

Nicole's Rough Journey to Motherhood

Kidman's career was launched in 1987 when she starred in "Vietnam." Two years later, she was cast in the film, "Dead Calm." In one scene, she appeared nude, drawing attention from everyone, including one of the most prominent actors at the time, Tom Cruise.

Cruise was so taken by Kidman after seeing the movie that he arranged to meet her. At the time, he had just gone through a divorce with Mimi Rogers. By 1990, Cruise had married Kidman, who was 23.

In a past interview, the actress confessed how dependent she and her husband became on one another. Early into their marriage, she lost a possible child after suffering an ectopic pregnancy and then had trouble conceiving after.

With the help of friends, the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in December 2000. The star thought their life was perfect, but out of the blue, two months later, Cruise informed her he was leaving, and their marriage was over.

The celebrity didn't receive an explanation, except telling people she knew why they were divorcing. Kidman tried begging Cruise to stay, but he refused to hear reason, forcing her to fight bitterness as she had the tendency of carrying past issues into the future.

After the divorce, the actress still believed in love and allowed herself to be receptive to anything. However, it took her a while to heal from the shock that had hit her system, especially because she struggled with the trauma of having a miscarriage at the end of her marriage.

Despite it all, Kidman believed things would work out in her next relationship and left things in "God's hands." True to her words, her faith didn't fail her, and all she ever wanted was realized in her second marriage.

How Did Nicole and Keith Welcome a Baby at an Older Age?

Kidman met Urban in January 2005 at an event in Los Angeles honoring Australians in America and while shooting "Fur." The star described him as wonderful and caring, revealing how he made her feel secure, and they didn't want to be separated. By June 25, 2006, they tied the knot in Sydney.

She feels this is the most significant part of becoming a parent at an older age.

For the first year of their marriage, the couple chose to live in Nashville, Tennessee—where Urban lived— instead of Kidman's Oregon. Their Nashville farmhouse boasted a movie theater, a tennis court, and a swimming pool. While there, at the age of 40, the "The Stepford Wives" star found out she was pregnant. Of the moment, Kidman said:

"It was a miracle because I'd not thought I'd be able to have [a baby] in my lifetime."

Kidman acknowledged the many complications she had in the past and didn't mind talking about them because it cleared other women from having to do the same. Urban's wife was once told she probably wouldn't have naturally born children and had accepted that.

However, on July 7, 2008, Kidman gave birth to their first child, Sunday, in Nashville. The actress described it as a powerful thing to have happened to her, and the benefits of having her daughter were massive, with the "Dogville" star stating:

"Having my baby has been a healing experience."

Kidman felt tremendous gratitude for her newfound motherhood, noting how her daughter has healed "an enormous amount in me." Two years later, the "The Human Stain" actress and her husband welcomed their second child, Faith, via surrogate.

When she wasn't working, Kidman hosted a weekly baby group in Nashville with her daughters and other mothers and their children. Urban's wife admits that they have a wonderful life at home.

Becoming a mother helped transform the actress, who now worries about aging, but not because of its physical repercussions. "The Interpreter" star wants to remain vibrant and healthy to take care of her daughters. She feels this is the most significant part of becoming a parent at an older age.

Now Kidman's family continues to stay out of the spotlight as they go about their busy celebrity lives.
