It’s a Girl for Nicole & Keith! Their Sunday Rose Blooms on Monday
Nicole Kidman beat Angelina Jolie to the finish line.
The Aussie Oscar winner and her Grammy-winning husband, Keith Urban, welcomed their first child, a baby girl, this morning in Nashville.
The Monday-born Sunday Rose Kidman Urban checked in at 6 pounds, 7½ ounces, according to a statement from their publicist.
“Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well,” the rep added.
On his website, Urban gave a shout-out to his family and fans.
“Earlier this morning, Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl,” he wrote. “We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today. More to follow…”
Presumably the “more to follow” will include why they picked the moniker for their newborn.
Kidman, 41, has two other children from her union with Tom Cruise, Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13. She and Urban, 40, married June 25, 2006.
They announced their pregnancy in January.
Just this weekend, Urban noted that his missus was due to burst at any minute. At a Nashville concert Saturday, with Kidman waiting in the wings, Urban dedicated his song “Better Half” to his “very, very, very, very, very pregnant wife.”
TomKat: The British Are Coming!
While some celebrated the holiday weekend with a Budweiser, the Cruise family enjoyed theirs with Becks.
E! News has learned that David and Victoria Beckham, along with their sons, flew to Telluride, Colo., on Saturday afternoon to spend part of the weekend with Tom Cruise and family.
A source says that in the late morning, David drove his family in his black Rolls Royce convertible to the Burbank hangar where Tom Cruise’s jet is kept, and the family jetted off to join the Cruises for the remainder of the holiday weekend.
“David would have left sooner, but he had a soccer match on Friday,” a source tells News.
Indeed, David, with Posh and kids watching from a skybox suite at the Home Depot Center, scored a goal Friday night versus the first-place New England Revolution. But his L.A. Galaxy team lost 2 to 1.
Let’s hope he has better luck playing Jenga against Tom.
TomKat’s Fourth of July Festivities
TomKat’s Fourth of July Festivities
There was a strong show of patriotism throughout the celebrity world yesterday, and Tom Cruise led the way - carrying his two-year-old daughter Suri while taking in the Fourth of July festivities near his home in Telluride, Colorado on Friday.
Accompanied by wife Katie Holmes and son Conner, 13, the Top Gun stud wore a cowboy hat while Suri donned a headband with two American flags sticking out of it.
Throughout their family stroll, Katie, who’s currently prepping for a Broadway gig, said “Happy 4th of July” to photographers before Tom and Co. drove off in their SUV.
Cruise recently talked about how he was “amazed” by his growing daughter, telling press: “She likes to dance and sing, get her nails done with mom - really beautiful!”
Ashlee Simpson: Out in Beverly Hills
Ashlee Simpson: Out in Beverly Hills
Now that she’s a few months along, Ashlee Simpson looks to be settling into her mother-to-be status quite nicely.
The recently-married pop singer was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, California yesterday after visiting a friend’s house. And she looked perfectly preggers in a peach-colored maternity dress along with a matching headband and some black sunglasses.
And of course, the question that’s been on everyone’s mind (including Ashlee and her husband Pete Wentz) is ‘are they having a boy or a girl?’
Well, baby boutique Petit Tresor (the same store that was sued by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for spreading rumors about their baby) has issued a claim that Simpson is expecting a boy following an all-blue shopping spree.
