Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Oscars 2008 (Corbis)

Congratulations to Nicole Kidman! The Associated Press confirms the Oscar-winning actress and her husband, country music star Keith Urban, welcomed Sunday Rose Kidman Urban this morning.

I interviewed the star late last fall at a premiere. I remember that she was self-conscious about her dress, explaining to me that it was tight because of a cheeseburger she’d just eaten. Turns out that belly bulge may have actually been a baby bump!

I saw her again on the red carpet at the Oscars in February, and she was wearing so many diamonds (1,399 carats!) that I forgot to glance down and see her belly for myself! I’m still kicking myself for that one — but come on, who wouldn’t be blinded by that many diamonds?

Anyway, she now has something more precious than diamonds — and I wish her all the best!
