LOS ANGELES -- Nicole Kidman is pregnant, her publicist confirmed Monday. The 40-year-old actress and her husband country singer Keith Urban "are expecting a baby," publicist Catherine Olim said in a brief statement. "The couple are thrilled," Olim said.

The baby would be the first for Kidman and Urban. She already has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

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

Kidman won an Oscar for her role in the 2002 film "The Hours."

Urban, a singer and guitarist raised in Australia, won a Grammy in 2006 for best male country vocal.
