OlderNicole Kidman - “Vanity Fair” October 2007
Nicole Kidman bares all for the October 2007 cover of Vanity Fair, as photographed by Patrick Demarchelier. Here are some highlights:
On her miscarriage while still married to then-husband Tom Cruise: “From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies. And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that’s when it came that we would adopt Bella.”
On hubby Keith Urban’s rehab stint: “I’ve learned an enormous amount having a relationship with someone who is in recovery. I’m more than willing to walk it with him. … We were in a very, very, very bad, painful place and have managed to step through it, and I hope that gives some people some hope who may be in the same place. And that’s enough said. Anything else is overindulgent and unnecessary right now.”
On handling a long-distance relationship: “Two weeks is still too long for us (to be apart). We like one week. We start to hurt after seven days.”
On having kids with Urban.: “I’m yearning to have one. I think I would be very sad if I wasn’t able to have a baby. Keith knows I want one, and he has been getting there slowly.”
On her children with ex Tom Cruise: Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12: “I called Tom (from Australia) and said, ‘Guess what? Bella wants blue hair.’ I go with my daughter to the hair salon to get it dyed blue, and I look at her and I think, My God, it’s cool!”
On her personality traits: “I get engaged and I get married — that’s my thing,” Kidman says after revealing that she was engaged to a man she declined to identify after her split from Cruise and before she hooked up with Urban. “I wasn’t ready. We weren’t ready.”
Nicole’s Vanity Fair issue hits newsstands in NY/LA on Wednesday and nationwide September 11. The baby-in-the-jacket shot is the hotness!!!! (It’s her niece Sybella.)

Nicole, move on….don’t bring up the past…don’t bring up Tom. You have enough on your plate…what with your “druggie” husband and all.
FYI - As any Beatle (and/or McCartney fan) knows, the picture of Nicole with her nieces head coming out of her jacket, is a copy of the cover of Maccas first solo album. Pauls daughter Mary was the tot in the pic. Good pic, just not so original!
People! she has moved on, but she keeps getting asked about it and she did give an interview where she has to answer these questions!
Nicole yeah!
Tom is an ASS! She is so lucky that he dumped her so self righteously thus beginning the end of his composure and carefully created PR image. The man is coo coo for cocoa puffs (emphasis on puff).
Between his psycho behavior on the Today show.. telling people to go **** themselves if they do not beleive in the importance of scientology, claiming there is no such thing as a chemical imbalance (ever) or the need for psyche meds to treat schitzophrenia, to having scientology tents on his movie shoots to covert the crew, to claiming to be able to cure NYC firefighters from ground zero with sauna treatments(and then trying to convert them), to his mother going MIA from her husband and friends.. (kinda like a sweet little catholic girl and self proclaimed virgin gwtting knocked up, turning her back on her religious beliefs, friends and film commitments to become a stepford robot..poor Katie)the man is crazy.
Say thank you every hour on the hour Nic! Thank God every day for shaking that weight off your shoulders.
wow, come back to another nicole is great, nicole is not great fight. she looks so plastic in these pictures. that one where she’s holding the baby, she looks like she is saying, wtf is this and how do i hold it? seriously, why does she have to be photographed with a baby? she is so unnatural looking holding that little baby. is it because the picture is staged picture or not? who knows. but i know if i had a photo shoot taken and it included me looking like THAT while holding a baby, i would definately not want it used.
and why does she have to have her shirt open showing her bra? do they think it’s sexy? it’s not. i’m not saying she’s old, because 40 is NOT old, but for someone her age, she shouldn’t have to resort to tricks like this. she should say NO to this. she has her own mind and she can make her own decisions, yet they seem to be “bad” ones. a woman should not have to resort to taking her clothes off partially or completely to have attention. so sad. i know she’s an “artist” and all (if you want to call her that), but i wonder, what do her kids think? how does Connor who is of an age when he is very impressionable, how does he look at his mom who is always taking her clothes off for movies and magazines. what kind of image does that portray to him? and her daughter. it says “it’s ok to do this”. that’s just not right.
totally crazy in love with Tom, Nicole!
move on!
I know it isn’t easy, Tom is gorgeous and treated you lke queen and surprised you by sweet and stunning presents, like on the set of Far and away
He also gave you The Others,you were very good in it!
Now it’s past,it’s another stunning woman without botox and certainly less catholic (crazy religion too) than you! if you care about catholicism!lol
Natalie, what is your problem? You obviously are obsessed with her. Are you secretly in lust/love with Keith and can’t stand that she got him? What gives? You know “everything” about her because you read? How strange is that to read compulsively about someone you dislike?
And yes I have children and I often was out of town working and they stayed with my parents. I had children to support and a great paying job and a dead husband. My company graciously allowed me six weeks off after he died, but was I suppose to give up a six-figure job and stay home and use their college funds and run the life insurance out to live on? Should I have taken a much lower paying job and put us in poverty–moved them out of everything they knew just so I could be home. Like Bella and Connor, they knew they were deeply loved by me, by their dad, my grandparents, aunts and uncles. They never took drugs, were promiscous, drank much at all, and were never in trouble. Like the Jolie-Pitts, I was often able to take them with me when I worked and they went to Europe several times and most of the larger cities in the U.S. They are all “world” citizens and productive human beings. Just like Bella and Connor.
Not everyone wants the life style you push, some like Cruise-Kidman or the Jolie-Pitts, know that the quality of their love, their respect for their children as individuals, and the quality of their time spent with the kids is what counts. Not just being there constantly in a superficial way.
I also think it’s disgusting the way she undermind Isabella:
like ‘I try to have a baby but coldn’t, so that’s when we adopt Bella. and just after say: “There’s a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told.”
ok, we just had to adopt a baby, you know! wtf? disgusting!
the story will be told! lol she is trying to be interesting for public and asking for media to ask and search answer! she wants PR sooo much and she use Tom for that, because Tom IS Tom ******* Cruise! he sells and she has to bring him up and talk, complain, whine and …. oh whateer, she is a selfish *****;
she don’t want kids, period. Tom did good to dump her selfish botox ass. But I have pity for her; she’s left with no carrer success and a druggie country singer
Man, at first glance I thought it was Madonna.
And then I looked again and thought it was a slight haggard ScarJo.
But it is just Nicole. Man she’s looks like she’s been rode hard and put away wet. I liked her better when she had a slighly fuller face and the red wavy hair. Much prettier and very different than the same ol’, same ol’ Hollywood blonde. Now She just looks hard, fake and washed out.
What hypocrisy…
its all a joke.
There isn’t a woman on this site, including the beloved angelina that has not exploited their bodies in the name of fashion, media, and magazine covers. And they are just portraying a sign of the times, what is the difference when women walk onto a beach in a bikini/thong for free, vs. getting paid millions? it is all to attract a certain type of attention… (men included) so lets leave discussions of talent and intellect out, since these pics don’t embrace either. Look at keira knightly’s dress… btw, what is feminism?
#96 you wonder what her children think about this photo… Well I wonder what Connor and Bella think about there father getting a girl 17 years younger than him pregnant and moving her into the house with his young and underage children. Does Connor think it’s okay to get a girl pregnant and not be married to her… Does Bella think pre-marital sex an unwed pregnancy is okay… Tom is setting a bad example.
Surprised to see Nicole open her shirt like that! Since when does she have lips like that?????
i agree reatty. they both are setting bad examples.
#77 you think her movies are great? bewtiched? fur? birth? her latest flop that came and went the invasion? those are great movies? i wonder what you call a bad movie?
sybella has jolie lips
I think Nicole Kidman is one of the best if not the best actress out there. She is versatile and just plain awesome. I felt very very sorry when Tom Divorced her because he said “Nic knows EXACTLY why we are divorcing. I wanted to cry for her. I do not like the exposure-I think it’s a bad idea. Your talent should always speak for itself-If matters are private let them stay-that’s one of the first rules-deny deny deny-never elaborate on private issues-I still say she has a royal like classy aura to her! Good luck
I can’t believe how many woman bash Nicole Kidman for being brave, assertive, aggressive, bold, forthright, honest about her feelings, etc. How many feel sorry for her for being left by Tom Cruise, etc.
No wonder women always play second fiddle to men!
And watch themselves depend themselves stupidly too! Yak, Yak, Yak . . . that is all they are good for.
there are some really good, classy photos in this shoot - they could have used a photo of her in a white swimsuit, she looks like Grace Kelly in it. Instead they made her look cheap-it’s not even the bra, it’s her expression. I bet she regrets trusting the photographer here. There is no need for an actress of her caliber to do the dumb blonde routine in order to get the cover–we expect Nicole to exude class and glamour. I wish she really opened up about Cruise–THAT would sell papers, guaranteed!
@ 25:
You stupid little thing! Are you still listening to Shitney, popping’ zits and 5erking off watching Spider Man?!
If age of 40 is OLD than you mother probly is already a mummy.
What a disgrace and sadness that ignorant young people like you exist.
she looks like walking corpse and unhappy.
Its so obvious she is still in love with Tom Cruise! Poor thing.
“I try to have a baby but couldn’t, so that’s when we adopt Bella. There’s a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told.”
The complicated background she is talking about I think is that she had an ectopic pregnancy, and in 1991 was hospitalized for removal of scar tissue.
she looks great in those photos thank JJ.
She doesn’t really talk about how many miscarriages she had but I’m sure it must be a few, seeing that she wanted a bio child so bad. The fact that she had a miscarriage early in her fist marriage isn’t news, if you google it you will find she suffered an ectopic pregnancy, a miscarriage and infertility problems in the past and that makes it more difficult for her to get pregnant.
she’s a hot lady even if vanity fair over photoshoped her. she looks incredible in all those pix as a fourty year old! kinda weird how she got a miscarriage with tom cruise but im glad they’re not together. nicole is way too tall for tom…
It was so classy how she kept quiet about her and Tom but now she is doing what Jennifer Aniston did. Its obvious she is still in love with Tom…its been 7 yrs since their divorce she should get over it and move on with her life.
Hmm but she doesn’t say much about their divorce…
I mean all she said about Tom was that she was in love with him and that he’s a good person, etc…
It’s not like she’s bashing him - she’s saying he’s a great guy - why do people care???
As for her miscarriages - that’s her business and if she wants to talk about it she can… she’s not talking about “Tom’s life” - that was her life too - and she can say whatever she likes…
Btw she looks beautiful as always!
I’m hoping that the Golden Compass and Margot at the Wedding are going to be big hits for her (TGC at the box office and MATW critically!)
NATALIE you are scaring me! You’re so upset because of a person you don’t even know? You are so obsessed with the life of others that you look up their work schedules and interviews they gave looong time ago? You know what? You should spend time with the kids you have now and you don’t need to dwell, not only on the past but also not on the lives of some stupid celebrities! I’m reading news on celebrities to entertain myself, not to get all upset and mad trying to find out who said what!! That’s a lot of research about someone you dont know and you couldn’t care less about!!!
SHE’S TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i do believe we are here to talk about nicole not the people posting about her. whether they’re favorable comments or not, that’s what this place if for. you guys need to stop putting down the posters.
Yes nadine - I am a horrible mother that’s why my child, who is a junior in high school, is skipping their high school classes and going straight on to college instead. *shaking my head* I must be doing something wrong!
