A producer who’s worked with Urban in the country-music capital says the duo is mulling a move to LA so that Kidman can be closer to Isabella and Connor, the kids she adopted with ex Tom Cruise. “They’ve been thinking about relocating so she can spend more time with the older kids,” said the source. Kidman just gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose. Her rep said that she and Urban had “bought a small house” in LA but that “she doesn’t comment on her children.”

NICOLE Kidman said she would never think of selling pictures of her daughter with Keith Urban, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban – but maybe the price wasn’t right. One editor at a celebrity weekly said, “She wanted $3 million and we weren’t going to pay that.” A rep for Kidman insists, “a number of publications called to offer money, but she never considered it.” Meanwhile, the price for a shot of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins, Knox and Vivienne, has soared past $11 million.

NICOLE Kidman and Keith Urban have reportedly rejected several multi-million dollar offers to publish the first pictures of their newborn daughter Sunday Rose.
The new mum and her singer husband are undecided whether to release a photograph of the newborn tot, but if they do it will be for free, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
A source said, “They don’t think it’s appropriate to make deals. They are still deciding how they feel about (it) – if and when they will release a photo at all. But they realise there is enormous interest from the public and they are grateful and appreciative of that.
“Nicole and Keith have been enjoying their first few days at home with their firstborn tot – Nicole is thinking about things like breastfeeding right now.”
Kidman gave birth in Nashville, Tennessee last week to Sunday Rose, who weighed 2.93 kilograms.
The tot is Kidman’s first biological child. She adopted 15-year-old Isabella and Connor, 13, during her marriage to Tom Cruise.

NICOLE Kidman’s father yesterday solved the mystery behind his newborn granddaughter’s name, revealing it was inspired by Australian artist Sidney Nolan’s muse Sunday Reed.
While the world’s media puzzled over Kidman and her country husband Keith Urban’s unusual choice of name for their baby Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, Antony Kidman revealed he and his wife had suggested it.
“There was a lady named Sunday Reed who was a prominent patron of the arts in Victoria,” Dr Kidman said from his practice in Lane Cove.
“I have read a bit about Sunday Reed and her husband John – she was a key mover and shaker in the arts around the beginning of the century. The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it.”
Sunday Reed was famous for her patronage of the arts, but also for her relationship with Sidney Nolan. Reed and her husband took part in an affair with the artist, which lasted nine years in the 1930s and resulted in Sunday becoming Nolan’s muse.
The connection could be the reason behind Kidman and Urban’s keen interest in a Sidney Nolan exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW shortly before they announced the pregnancy.
The exhibition, in January, featured a quote about birth from Nolan which was scrawled across a wall. “When you are young you are given a good view of life, because of your closeness to birth,” it read.
Kidman appeared mesmerised by this quote, before Keith wrote it down.
“It was among other names being mentioned but they decided that was the name they wanted,” Dr Kidman said.
Urban’s brother Shane could not contain his excitement as he spoke to a Sunshine Coast radio station, revealing the baby’s second name was a tribute to their late grandmother Rose.
“It’s a wonderful wonderful thing, I’m so, so proud,” he said.
The Nashville-based country music star posted his emotive, heartfelt message on his official website, where he thanked fans for all of their “thoughts and prayers”.
Kidman’s Mother Janelle and sister Antonia were both introduced to the newest member of their family yesterday, having travelled to Nashville in time for Sunday Rose’s highly anticipated arrival.
Having turned down all lucrative media deals, the couple are expected to release a photo of Sunday Rose soon.

Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, have welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, born Monday morning in Nashville, PEOPLE has confirmed.
“Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well,” said spokesman Paul Freundlich, who added that the couple were “delighted” to make the announcement. He also said the baby girl weighed 6 lbs., 7.5 oz.
The pregnancy was first announced in January. Kidman has two other children with her former husband Tom Cruise: Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13.
In the days leading up to the birth, the couple – who celebrated their second wedding anniversary on June 25 – didn’t stray from their normal routine in and around Nashville, where they reside in a gated community.
From early morning stops at a local Starbucks for warm drinks to a little sweat at the gym later in the day (Kidman was a regular at spin and yoga classes during her pregnancy), the couple remained low-key.
“She’s never been happier and healthier,” says a close family friend. “She is absolutely radiant and enjoying nesting and homemaking with Keith at their new home in Nashville.”
But getting ready for their baby was a priority. Urban admitted he was learning a new vocabulary for fatherhood and doing Lamaze lessons. “He doesn’t know the name [of the classes], but he has been very good at it!” Kidman told a local radio station on June 24.
The new parents also bought a couple of books to help them along: Pocket Dad: Everyday Wisdom and Your Pregnancy, Week By Week.
“The unknown excites me a lot,” Urban told reporters in May. “What kind of feelings will fatherhood bring? I’m sure I can’t even imagine, but I am really looking forward to finding out.”

Talk about a surprise party.
After Keith Urban sang “Who Wouldn’t Wanna Be Me” for pregnant wife Nicole Kidman, the country star announced to the Chicago Soldier Field crowd Saturday night that she just had a birthday the day before.
“So it would be nice to have 50,000 people sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her,” he said – and brought Kidman on stage for a stadium-sized sing-a-long for the actress, who turned 41 on Friday.
A surprised and glowing Kidman, in a long flowing black floral tank top dress, blew the audience a kiss and returned backstage when the song finished. The couple are awaiting the birth of their first child, due any day.

JASON Beghe isn’t the only former Scientologist who wants nothing to do with the church. Nicole Kidman , a Catholic, has limited contact with her adopted kids by Tom Cruise, Isabella and Connor, who are deeply entrenched in Scientology. At the New York premiere of Ian Halperin’s film, “His Highness Hollywood,” a Scientology insider told Halperin that Kidman “wants her kids out of the church.” Halperin beat up on the faith in his book, “Hollywood Undercover,” and said he wasn’t surprised when, during the premiere, “the projector had been sabotaged.”

She may have looked stunning in a fitted red dress on the CMT Awards red carpet last night, but Nicole Kidman had one awful morning.
The actress told Access Hollywood’s CMT special correspondent Maureen McCormick, she, like many moms-to-be has had some stomach troubles during her pregnancy.
“I’ve had severe morning sickness,” Nicole said.
As for her pregnancy in general, Nicole said things are going well.
”[I’m] good actually, really good. Waiting for the third trimester,” she said. “Everyone says that is hard work.”
Nicole accompanied her husband, country crooner Keith Urban, to the awards ceremony.
And while it was recently revealed that Nicole and Keith enjoyed watching fellow Australian Michael Johns on “American Idol,” the Fox reality show isn’t the only music-led program they catch. As Maureen found out, the super-couple has been watching her on CMT’s “Gone Country.”
“Of course we have been watching the show,” Keith told Maureen.
“Yes, we watch you,” Nicole chimed in. “You are on all around the world.”
