"For years I’ve seen speculation and for years it’s never been right, so I didn’t think it was right this time," Ms Day said. "And then she’s just rung this morning."

The baby would be the first for the couple. She already has two adopted children -- Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12 -- with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Nicole recently confided to Vanity Fair that she had a miscarriage early on in her relationship with Tom, leading them to adopt.


Nicole pregnancy rumours denied - Jan 1 2008
Rumours of Nicole Kidman being pregnant with her first child with husband Keith Urban have been denied by her Australian publicist.

The Daily Mail reported that the Golden Compass star - who has been married to the singer for 18 months - apparently told friends and family about her alleged pregnancy over Christmas.

However, Nicole’s publicist insisted that it was simply a made-up rumour.

"She must have had about 30 babies by now," she added.

"She’s in Australia making a film (Baz Luhrman’s epic, Australia, which co-stars Hugh Jackman) and her family are in Australia.

"She’s happily ensconced away somewhere having a few days’ break. It’s the silly season. As far as we’re concerned, it’s another rumour out of London."

The 40-year-old Oscar winner already has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise - 14-year-old Isabella and 12-year-old Connor.

Nicole accepts damages over perfume claim - Dec 16 2007
Actress Nicole Kidman, the face of Chanel No 5, has accepted substantial damages over a claim that she snubbed the perfume by promoting a competitor.

The 40-year-old Oscar winner was not at London’s High Court for the settlement of her libel action against The Daily Telegraph.

Her solicitor, John Kelly, told Mr Justice Gray that she had suffered considerable embarrassment and distress over the story, which appeared last month.

The item in the newspaper’s Spy column falsely alleged that, whilst in London to promote her new film, The Golden Compass, Nicole had put Chanel’s nose out of joint by attending press junkets with a bottle of Jo Malone, her "favourite perfume", close at hand.

It also falsely claimed that despite having signed a multi-million pound contract with Chanel, the actress was openly promoting a competitor’s product and "kept dabbing" on the perfume whenever she had a moment.

Mr Kelly said that the story meant that Nicole had acted in an unprofessional and disloyal manner by brazenly snubbing Chanel, had flouted the terms of her contractual obligations and had proved she could not be trusted to honour them.

He added that Telegraph Media Group Ltd now accepted that the allegations were untrue and, indeed, had established that the source of the article invented the story.

It had agreed to pay the actress her legal costs and substantial undisclosed damages, which she intended to donate to Unifem, the United Nations Development Fund for Women.

David Price, the newspaper’s solicitor-advocate, sincerely apologised on its behalf.
