Nicole Kidman’s Unlikely Journey to Motherhood at 50: How Her Spouse Made It Possible

Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, just celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary.

Kidman found love with Urban after going through a difficult divorce from Tom Cruise.

Doctors had told her she might not be able to have children, but she beat the odds and welcomed her miracle baby.

The talented actress Nicole Kidman and her musician husband, Keith Urban, recently marked their 17th anniversary with a heartfelt post on Instagram to celebrate the special moment.

In another sweet post for Father’s Day, Kidman shared a picture of Urban playing with one of their daughters in the water, calling him the “coolest dad” and expressing how much she and their daughters love him.

Before finding happiness with Urban, Kidman was married to Tom Cruise for over a decade. Their relationship began when Cruise cast her in his movie, “Days of Thunder.” Kidman admitted she fell in love with him instantly, and they lived in their own little world, depending on each other.

Cruise and Kidman got married in 1990, but after 10 years together, they shocked everyone by announcing their divorce. Kidman was surprised, as the couple had just renewed their vows two months earlier. Cruise never gave a clear reason for ending the marriage, only saying, “Nic knows why.”

During their marriage, Kidman faced two miscarriages, one at the beginning of their relationship and another near the end. Doctors later told her she had a slim chance of conceiving. The miscarriages, combined with the sudden divorce, were traumatic for her, and she struggled to heal from it all.

Although they never had biological children together, Cruise and Kidman adopted two kids, Isabella, born in 1992, and Connor, born in 1995.

At 40, Kidman found love again with Urban and fell pregnant. The couple met at an event in Los Angeles in 2005, and Kidman said Urban made her feel secure and cared for. They married in 2006 and started their family in Nashville, which became even more special when their first daughter, Sunday, was born in 2008.

Kidman described her pregnancy at 40 as life-changing, calling it a “miracle.” She openly talks about her experience to help other women who may have struggled like her.

Two years after Sunday’s birth, the couple welcomed their second daughter, Faith, via a surrogate. Having children later in life motivated Kidman to stay healthy so she could care for them as they grow up.

Despite becoming a mother later in life, Kidman continues to work hard in her career. She balances being a successful actress with being the best mother and wife she can be.
