Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban Welcome Daughter Faith Margaret

It’s a girl – and a huge surprise!

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban revealed Monday that they are the parents of a baby girl, who was born via surrogate.

Faith Margaret Kidman Urban arrived Tuesday, Dec. 28 at Nashville’s Centennial Women’s Hospital. Faith was delivered through a gestational carrier and is the biological daughter of Kidman and Urban.

“Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret,” the family says in a statement.

“No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier.”

Kidman and Urban, both 43, had kept the birth a secret, saying nothing about being new parents when they attended the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night.

Married in 2006, Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose, 2½, in July 2008. Kidman and ex-husband Tom Cruise also adopted two children during their marriage, Connor, 16, and Isabella, 18.

- Mommy of 2 on January 17th, 2011

Wow! That came out of left field. Did not see that one coming at all. Congrats to the family.

- Jay on January 17th, 2011

ummmm WOW! I love how a poster guessed they’d have a second but I was SOO not expecting this. Congrats to Keith & Nicole. Gestational carriers/surrogates seem like some of the most selfless people in the world. Welcome baby Faith! (and I like her name better than Sunday…)

- Sky on January 17th, 2011

Wow was that a huge surprise or what?! Congratulations Keith, Nicole and Sunday or your newest addition

- hannah on January 17th, 2011

Do they know how to keep a secret or what? So hard in the industry they’re in. Many congratulations.

- Tracy on January 17th, 2011

Awesome surprise! Good on them for keeping it a secret. I live in Nashville and definitely never heard any rumblings about this. Her name is gorgeous, and I’m sure she is too.

- Alexis on January 17th, 2011

lol well, that’s something. Congrats to them.

- Indira on January 17th, 2011

That’s bizarre! I was thinking the last few days, with all the pregnancy announcements, that I’d love to see these two have another. Then I come on here and see that they recently did!! LOVE the name, too!

Congrats to the whole family.

- Sarah M. on January 17th, 2011

Dont want to sound like a broken record, but WOW! I am very happy for them! Isn’t medicine and science great!

- mary on January 17th, 2011

Congrats!!! I knew they weren’t done pats self on back lol

- Sat on January 17th, 2011

WOWW!!! Aww…what a wonderful surprise!!!

- Shoshana on January 17th, 2011

out of all the surprises this week this one defintely takes top!

- steph on January 17th, 2011

Mommy of 2 – She said in an interview (fairly recently I think) that Sunday was a miracle baby and that she has a very slim chance of getting pregnant again. I would guess that would explain the surrogate.

- Sarah M. on January 17th, 2011

What the french toast??????? That is so cool…..suprising but very cool. Yay!!! I love the names……Sunday and Faith. Cant wait to see her. <3

- Michelle on January 17th, 2011

Wow! Did not see that coming!
Congrats to them both and I love the name Faith!

- Brooklyn on January 17th, 2011

Wow! Congrats! That was totally unexpected.

This IS the year of the baby

- TC on January 17th, 2011

I had to read the title again to make sure I read it correctly. What a nice surprise!

- Marilyn on January 17th, 2011

Wow! -Good for them! I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned at the Golden Globes yesterday or that it wasn’t released until now. Very happy for the whole family. I wonder if this girl will be her mom’s mini-me since Sunday is clearly a mini-Keith. Congrats!!

- Mia on January 17th, 2011

Privacy can be attained by celebrities if they want it. The sad thing is that most don’t. Most want the attention and “complain” about how annoying it is.

Congratulations to Nicole & Keith! I’m glad they had their own private time with Faith & Sunday before the news got out.

- Devon on January 17th, 2011

Blimey! How funny, after all the recent announcements we were all so surprised…then owen wilson went one better and only announced him and his OH’s pregnancy 5 days before they had their son. didn’t think anyone could beat that from a short notice/surprise aspect…wow!!! what next, lol.

Ooh, almost forgot to say congratulations! x

- Lou x on January 17th, 2011

I saw this on a different site and I QUICKLY hopped over to people.com to confirm the news. I am VERY VERY VERY happy for Nicole and Keith! I know that Connor, Isabella, and Sunday Rose are very happy to have another sister in the bunch! Tom and Katie you’re next!!! Lol! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WHOLE FAMILY!!! Many many blessings to your all! ♥

- Crystal on January 17th, 2011

Sarah M. Thanks!! I thought that I remebered that Sunday was hard to conceive, but wasnt sure!!
BTW love the name!! Cant wait to see the new addition!!!!

- Mommy of 2 on January 17th, 2011

Congrats!!! LOVE the name! I can’t wait to see pictures!!

- Selena on January 17th, 2011

Congrats! Love the name!

- Jaedyn on January 17th, 2011

Biggest congrats what a wonderful late Christmas present. I am like the others hoping they’d have another either by birth adoption or surrogacy.

I live in the same county they do and had no idea so glad they were able to have privacy.

- elisabeth on January 17th, 2011

Wow! Congratulations to them both for the birth (love the name) and for keeping a private event private.

- anonymous on January 17th, 2011

Pretty name!

- Marlee on January 17th, 2011

WHAT????????????????????????????????? Did anyone else almost fall out of their chair when they read this??? OMG…..I am floored!

- Brooke on January 17th, 2011

wow. Didn’t see that coming. How wonderful!

- Traci on January 17th, 2011

soooooo excited! honestly folks i feel like its happening in my family-thats how excited i am! adore this family…they ve had it tough but my god are they in love. I love how they are super super famous and rich but live such a low key life! i am genuinely thrilled for them both and for Sunday! and guys please lets not get political about this-Sunday is almost 3-they may have been trying to concieve for quite some time before heading down the surrogate road!

- maggie on January 17th, 2011

Totally unexpected!

- Lacey on January 17th, 2011

Mommy of 2 – Your welcome! Glad I could help.

- Sarah M. on January 17th, 2011

everyone says she did not carry Sunday, so maybe this time she didn’t feel like faking it (if that’s true). A lot of times these crazy things ARE true, not saying I believe everything. Anyway, cute name and very happy for them.

- Romy on January 17th, 2011

Holy moly! What a great surprise! COngrats to them and Sunday, Connor & Isabella!!!! Hollywood baby boom continues!

- ll65 on January 17th, 2011

wow! i was just thinking last night when i was watching the GG red carpet stuff that i’d love to see them have another… was NOT expecting this! how exciting!

- K on January 17th, 2011

OMG nearly fell off my chair when i read this, I was watching a show with Nelson Aspen this morning and he was paying particular attention to Keith and Nicole on the red carpet, Saying look under her bow is that a baby bump, and how glowing and smiley she was, and even thou she did not win an oscar he overheard someone congratulate them, so i was pretty sure she was the next baby annoucement – But not that she already had one – CONGRATULATIONS to both of them.

- Sharon on January 17th, 2011

WOW! . I wonder why they chose to do this privately

- April on January 17th, 2011

So excited for them! I was almost thinking Nicole would be on the next episode of “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant”. I’m delighted for them that they were able to keep such a secret too!

- Anne on January 17th, 2011

Didn´t see this coming! Congratulations to the whole family!

- cat on January 17th, 2011

LEFT FIELD!!! But Congratulations to Nicole and Keith on the new baby! Can’t wait to see pictures = )

- Jazzy'sMommy on January 17th, 2011

Congrats to the entire family.

- ll65 on January 17th, 2011

WHAT THE WHAAT!! CONGRATS!! HOW SWEET!

- Manal on January 17th, 2011

This is such happy news. Someone commented recently that she might be one to be announcing a pregnancy soon and I thought, yes I could see that. She did one better and announced the birth. Congratulations to them!! So happpy for them. Do wonder if all the trouble SJP went through influenced decision to keep it on the extreme quiet. Again, so happy for them.

- Annie on January 17th, 2011

What the heck!? That is crazy!! Congrats to them Sunday Rose will be such a good big sister, I’m sure. I guess Nicole was able to hide her pregnancy quite well because she carries so tiny!

- Rosy on January 17th, 2011

Oh hold on, I got so excited I forgot to read the part about the surrogate, nevermind! :p Congrats again to the happy couple!

- Rosy on January 17th, 2011

What! I had to take a second look at the head title again to believe what I was reading!! I looked again and couldn’t believe it. Wow, talk about everyone not knowing a thing! Congratulations anyway!

- Sandra on January 17th, 2011

Her and Owen Wilson are good at keeping secrets.

- Holly on January 17th, 2011

Wow! Congratulations. Conner must be feeling severely outnumbered with all these sisters! What a wonderful blessing for a beautiful family.

- Jen on January 17th, 2011

I did not see that coming. Congrats! (been saying that a lot recently…)

- Julia A on January 17th, 2011

CONGRATS! LOL! SUNDAY HAS A NEW BABY SISTER!

- Lilith'smommy on January 17th, 2011

Aw, what wonderful news!! Congratulations to the entire Kidman-Urban families! You can just tell how much love this family has to offer

- stacey m on January 17th, 2011

WTF? Awesome!!!!! Gongrats! Sunday and Faith…

- Alice on January 17th, 2011

What in the world!! I also had to read it a few times, very shocking but very excited for them!! 2 girls, so precious:) Congrats and can’t wait to see her!

- jessicad on January 17th, 2011

Romy- I just can’t see Nicole faking a pregnancy. She just doesn’t seem like that type of person to me. Plus, if she really wanted to fake being pregnant while actually having a surrogate carry Sunday, I think she’d have chosen a bigger, much more believable fake bump (the reason most people who say she had Sunday via surrogate claim that is because Nicole carried so small…which I feel bad for her about. It’s not unusual for tall women with long torsos, which Nicole is, to carry small.).

Inventing conspiracy theories about every celeb there is (two of my personal favorites: People claiming that Angelina Jolie faked her pregnancy with Knox and Viv and actually used a surrogate, and people claiming before Suri Cruise made her debut that she was actually an alien! I mean, come on! That’s about as ridiculious as you can possibly get!), is a hobby for some people, IMO. I’ve learned to shrug them off.

But anyway, I totally wasn’t expecting this! When I first saw the headline, I was shocked to say the very least. Until I read the article, my thought was that they’d adopted. I’m very happy for them, and I hope we see Faith soon. Also, I love the name, and I’ll bet they chose it because they had faith they would have another child.

On another note…If and when Tom and Katie have another baby, it’ll be interesting to see if it’s a girl, too (how ironic would that be if both couples end up with two baby girls?).

- CelebBabyLover on January 17th, 2011

Aw. Wasn’t expecting this news. So happy for them.

- Paige on January 17th, 2011

well, blow me over with a feather. i had t re-read the first few lines a couple of times to get it around my head!
truly a surprise!!
congratulations on the newest little babe!!

- Hayley on January 17th, 2011

Thank you Keith and Nicole for THE best surprise of 2011!!! What a joy and a gift she is to all of us! Congratulations!

- sarawara on January 17th, 2011

Oh my goodness!!! What a wonderful surprise! I’ll bet she’ll be just as beautiful as Mama and big sis Sunday

Sunday and Faith, however… How very church-y. Not really my thing but they’re cute names.

- B.J. on January 17th, 2011

Congratulations on the new addition!

CBL – I just read the alicia silverstone announcement comments where you said you would be very surprised if Nicole announced. Well, surprise! Funny how these things work.

- Sydney on January 17th, 2011

Wow, that caught me off guard! What wonderful news! I was really hoping that they would have another baby… congratulations to Keith, Nicole, Bella, Connor and Sunday!

- Tee on January 17th, 2011

I actually heard about this rumor the other day but wasn’t buying it. Hmm guess I was wrong!! Congrats to Keith and Nicole!!

- JMO on January 17th, 2011

wow, i know there have been a ridiculous amount of pregnancy announcements recently but honestly this was the one (the only one so far) that actually made me go ‘WHAT??’ outloud.
how utterly wonderful for them. it’s great that Sunday will have a little sibling so close in age and of course wonderful for Nicole and Keith.
on a personal note, i can’t stand the name Margaret is ok, but i think Faith is horrible.
but who cares right? congrats to them and all the best.

- JM on January 17th, 2011

talk about outta left field!! Congrats none the less

- Kelly on January 17th, 2011

Now I’m just wondering if this counts as a point in my list of predictions for celeb pregnancies this year since I said Nicole. However, Faith was born at the tail end of ’10, so I’m not sure, LOL.

(But yay, finally someone on my list!)

- klutzy_girl on January 17th, 2011

Wowza just like Sandra Bullock keeping Louis a secret last year! How do they hide these babies lol?

- torgster on January 17th, 2011

Is there a reason why PEOPLE magazine ALWAYS use that crappy picture of the Urbans? Why not use one from the Golden Globes or one where they look fantastic!

- Lily on January 17th, 2011

Is she named after Faith Hill? Odd choice of name…

- soph on January 17th, 2011

I know that Faith Hill and the Urbans are best friends so maybe she is named for her….

- Whitney on January 17th, 2011

Sydney- I actually thought of that myself when I saw this post! Techinically, though, I said I’d be shocked if Nicole announced a pregnancy this year….and she didn’t.

- CelebBabyLover on January 17th, 2011

Totally did not see this coming. Literally like others I was like “Wait, What?” Congrats to Nicole and Keith. Wish nothing but the best for their family.

- Gabby on January 17th, 2011

Congrats to them! Great name

So who ELSE is next to jump on the celeb baby bandwagon? I am guessing Christina Aguilera and her new BF, Salma Hayek, Hilary Duff, Scott Wolf & wife Kelley and hopefully Alyson Hannigan (sp?)

- HeatherR on January 17th, 2011

Holy freakin’ cheese biscuits!!!!! Absolutely did NOT expect to see this one today lol! Congratulations to the very happy and very blessed family on the addition of Faith Margaret.

- Harley on January 17th, 2011

Congratulations to them! What a blessing. I’m so excited for them.

- Terri on January 17th, 2011

Faith is a BEAUTIFUL name! My daughters name is Faith Elisabeth and I would not have it any other way. Welcome baby Faith!

- tobeornottobe on January 17th, 2011

WOW!!! Huge surprise but I’m so happy for her! Her issues with infertility have been numerous and well documented :) I’m so glad they have another bub! And that Sunday has a little sister :) Wonderful news!

- Kat on January 17th, 2011

Congratulations on the new baby, and congratulations on keeping it all a secret. Some thought Nicole was getting a “baby bump” a few months ago. Well, maybe she was gaining “sympathy weight.” You know, the way men sometimes do when their wives are pregnant, only in this case the mother was having “sympathy,” with the surrogate.

- SAR on January 17th, 2011

How wonderful! Nicole is so close to her daughter Sunday so know little Faith is going to have awesome parents.
felt so sorry for Nicole that her older two barely see her, so am so pleased she has 2 little girls with Keith now-not to replace them but so she has a family.
I was only hoping on Sunday (ironic!) that she’d have another baby.
So so pleased for them!

- Emma on January 17th, 2011

awesome news!!!! Love this family!

- tink1217 on January 17th, 2011

Sunday and Faith absolutely the cutest names for sister. I am in love with the names they have chosen for their family. I am every happy for both Keith and Nicole for being able to keep this moment private between them and their daughter. I wonder if Tom has allowed the older two kids to meet their new baby sister? Guess we’ll never know. This may sound very wrong but I am really happy she got another chance at love, marriage and motherhood. I know she is a mother of two with Tom Cruise, but it always looked like he controlled her and the kids, and she looks so happy and free with Keith but that is just me.

Wishing the family nothing but health and happiness in the years to come. Congratulations on your newest addition, may she bring you all the joy and happiness in the world.

- B.R on January 17th, 2011

BY FAR THE BEST CELEBRITY BABY NEWS OF 2011!!!

I almost fell off my chair when I read this. Such wondrous news

I bet this has been a hard secret to keep for those two.

I can not wait to see how gorgeous their new little girl is. And I bet Sunday is thrilled to be a big sister!

- Mandy on January 17th, 2011

The older two have met Sunday. Nicole has discussed how she sees them.

- IMO on January 18th, 2011

A low key couple who managed to keep things quiet, a nice normal name for their baby, congrats to them.

- Tess on January 18th, 2011

My Mouth literally hit my chest when I saw this!!!!
Well it might not be an announcement of pregnancy but it’s definitely a announcement for a baby ….. (I remember on one of the other posts someone predicted them to be the next to announce a pregnancy!).

CONGRATULATIONS TO NICOLE, KEITH AND SUNDAY! Love the name btw! Can’t wait to see a picture of her

- Bancie1031 on January 18th, 2011

Now thats a surprise!!!! AAnd a traditional name too!!! Love it!

- Kristina on January 18th, 2011

WOW just like everybody else I was shocked to hear the news! I love the name but I can’t help but think of Faith Hill and her daughter Maggie!

- Karen on January 18th, 2011

Why are you guys freaking out so much? If you’re falling out of your chairs, perhaps the seats are slippery…

- soph on January 18th, 2011

IMO- Yup, and I’m sure they’ll be meeting Faith soon as well, if they haven’t already. And you’re right, Nicole has talked about how she sees them (she even mentioned right before Thanksgiving 2009 that they were going to spend Thanksgiving with her, Keith, and Sunday.). I also want to add that, for what it’s worth, Bella is 18 now, so when she visits her mother is totally her choice now.

With that being said, I meant to say earlier that I wonder how they explained the process with the surrogate and all to Sunday. I’m sure they wanted to prepare her for her new sister….but how do you explain to a two year old about surrogacy? I wonder if they showed her ultrasounds or something, or if maybe she even met the surrogate?

- CelebBabyLover on January 18th, 2011

Also, I think they got Connor’s age wrong in this article. PEOPLE’s bio of Nicole has Connor’s birthday listed as February 6th, 1995…..which would mean he’s not turning 16 until next month.

- CelebBabyLover on January 18th, 2011

Congratulations to the whole family.They must be so thrilled.

Great to see that nobody bashes her for letting her newborn at home for enjoying a night out at the GG.Too bad not all celebs can get the same amount of support (yes,you Amanda Peet, “the bad mother”).

- Cécile on January 18th, 2011

I saw some pictures of her son Connor the other day having dinner with Tom Cruise and was thinking to myself how great it was that they seem to have such a good relationship and this just reinforces that feeling tenfold. That poor boy (well, young man) is so outnumbered now!!! Four sisters!!! But it’s great news! Congrats to the whole family!!!

- Liz on January 18th, 2011

@IMO I know that they have met Sunday there have been pictures of all of them together I was just wondering if they got to meet Faith yet, that’s all.

@Emma I couldn’t agree with you more, I am so happy to see her have another chance at motherhood and happiness, with Sunday and Faith. I truly hope when Isabella and Conner grow up that they see their mom for a wonderful, loving, selfless person that she is. Cause let me tell you if my minors (which her children are) told me in a divorce that they wanted to live with the other parent I don’t think I would have been as graceful about it as she was. They would be living with me six months out of the year like it or not, but I am selfish that way.

WOW she is a mom of four now, she is getting close to the Jolie-Pitt family cause I truly hope that she and Keith have one or two more.

- B.R on January 18th, 2011

When I first read the news on a Dutch website (who is the king of giving strange titles to even weirder celebnews) I thought they got a new dog or so (thats the kind of news the dutch websites adds to his page and tops it with the news of a new family member.) But finding out they got a new bundle of joy my mouth dropped! So not expected, but so amazing for them!!!

Congrats to the happy familie with their new princess. Love the name! Faith and Sunday, it even sounds great for two sisters

- Chantal on January 18th, 2011

If anyone can keep a secret it would be Nicole! Just ask her ex husband! lol

- Shannon on January 18th, 2011

Congrats!!!! I’m so happy about this announcement, they seem like such a loving, normal family and how wonderful that Sunday now has a baby sister! I love he name too, we are considering using Faith as a middle name if our newest baby is a girl.

- Amanda on January 18th, 2011

Wonderful news, congrats to them all! A bit strange though that they both would choose to go to an award show with this tiny little newborn at home. I wouldn’t have myself but I’m me, not them.

- Hea on January 18th, 2011

That’s a shock!! Good for them

- Jordan on January 18th, 2011

I believe she was nominate for an award, which is why she went to the GG? And to be technical, they didn’t anounce the baby’s arrival ’til monday so it would have been odd for her not to have been there really.

In the daily mail, there is an explanination of the baby’s name Faith because thats what they needed to get through the process of their daughter being born and Margaret after Nicole’s grandmother, who gave birth to her last child at 49. Here’s the link to the story and a really cute pic of Connor and Bella as kids: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1348055/Nicole-Kidman-Keith-Urban-welcome-baby-Faith-family.html

Oh and Congrats!

- Georgina on January 18th, 2011

I’m going to say that we will hear a baby announcement from Alyssa Milano this year. Just a guess!

- Kim on January 18th, 2011

congrats<3 definitely didn't see this coming! so happy for the kidman-urban family

- Ash on January 18th, 2011

There were pictures of her recently out at baby boutiques looking fuller around the middle and paps were speculating that they were expecting. So I was expecting a pregnancy announcement soon. This is a surprise though! Congrats to them. I love the name!

- Mary on January 18th, 2011

Am I the only one who is disappointed they used a surrogate? She adopted before, what’s wrong with that now?

- NoAdditives on January 18th, 2011

Why would you be disappointed? She’s adopted before, as you said, and she also had a biological child, is that wrong? Plus, I think it’s harder to adopt for older parents, which they both are now.

CBB Lover, I don’t think they would need any extra explanation for Sunday than reminding her once in a while that she’s having a new sister and sounding excited about it. She’s too young to “know” that babies grow in mothers’ tummies, I guess she wouldn’t have found it odd that Nicole wasn’t pregnant.

- Alice on January 18th, 2011

Maybe she didn’t use a surrogate before because it didn’t seem to be as widely accepted as it is now.

- Laura on January 18th, 2011

@No Additives: Keith has a history of substance abuse, including a recent (in the eyes of most adoption agencies, less than five years ago counts as recent) stay in rehab. That makes it significantly harder to adopt.

Not that it matters since it’s no ones business but the parents how they go about forming a family. There is no right way, and I find it so odd that people seem to think they get to dictate to infertile people how they form a family.

I’m just curious, do you ever go up to pregnant women and say “I’m kind of disappointed. Why do you need a biological child when you could have adopted?” The double standards applied to infertile couples is kind of appalling.

- Rose on January 18th, 2011

B.R. Ummmm…..ok.wasn’t commenting to you, but whatever.

I am never disappointed how someone chooses to have a baby, since it’s their choice.

- IMO on January 19th, 2011

Georgina- I had a hunch that was why they named her Faith!

- CelebBabyLover on January 19th, 2011

If that isn’t the best kept celebrity baby secret, I don’t know what is! What a wonderful surprise! I’m so happy for Nicole, Keith, Bella, Connor and Sunday! Welcome to the world Faith Margaret x

- Sophia on January 19th, 2011

I am so thrilled for this family! Good for them that they kept it a secret as long as they did. I remember when the paps found out that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick were using a surrogate, and then hounded the surrogate. Not cool!

Love the name “Faith.”

I’m not surprised Nicole and Keith chose surrogacy. Nicole has spoken in the past of her miscarriages and fertility problems.

Can’t wait to see a picture of little Faith. I wonder if she has red hair and looks like Nicole. Sunday is a mini-Keith in my opinion.

What fabulous news!

- Allison J on January 19th, 2011

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith! It’s a wonderful news for the happy family!

- Mary on January 19th, 2011

Nicole is in her mid40s now. I know that we hear about people like Kelly Preston Travolta at 48 having a baby. But read what the doctors say about over 40s women conceiving, and maintaining a pregnancy, as well as giving birth. Many things can go wrong, and do for a lot of people. If you have the money, surrogacy is a good option. Dennis Quaid and his wife had twins (biologically theirs too) through this type of surrogacy. Or some just choose to adopt, i.e.,Quaid’s ex Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock (the Jolie-Pitts have been doing both).

Re: the secretiveness…Nicole has always kept most family things totally under the radar. When she was with Tom Cruise they never said a word about their two kids. Paparazzi got photos from far away only. They never did baby photos of her older two kids, or of Sunday. This is primarily the way Nicole is about her own life. Private. She was pregnant with Sunday, so it was obvious. And for those who think that it was a “fake” pregnancy, read more about her own reactions to herself during the time she carried the baby. Sounds very real to me. Just because she lost the weight fast doesn’t mean she did not really give birth. Everyone is different.

I think it is wonderful for them.

- Kkh on January 20th, 2011

Even though we hear about the women in their 40s who can conceive and carry and give birth, the stats are not in their favor. I doubt that Sunday’s birth was anything but Nicole’s. She talked about the changes she went through, and it sounded plenty real to me. But if you have the money, this type of surrogacy is a nice way to go to increase your family. Dennis Quaid and his wife did it too. S.J.P. and Broderick too. Some adopt like Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock. With money they have more choices. They just do.

Re: Secrecy issue, Nicole has always been one to keep everything related to family under the radar. She has never invited the photographers in to do a shoot of any of her kids. That is her perogative. We will be happy to wait to see.

And in reference to someone saying that Sunday looks only like Keith, she looks a lot like him, yes. But she has that cute little mouth that is Nicole’s real mouth that you can see in her earlier movies.

Kkh- “She has never invited the photographers in to do a shoot of any of her kids.” That’s not entirely true. She and Tom had Annie Leibovitz (the same photographer that later did Suri’s debut photos) take an offical photo of Bella and Connor when Bella was around 3 and Connor was around 1, which they then released to a magazine (I don’t remember which one at the moment).

I meant to say that, other than the photoshoot issue, Kkh, I agree with your posts entirely!
