Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban have a baby daughter via 'gestational carrier'
Nicole Kidman lost out to Natalie Portman in the drama film actress category at Sunday's Golden Globes, but it turns out she and husband Keith Urban had a brand new trophy of their own already: The couple welcomed a new baby daughter, Faith Margaret, on Dec. 28.
The baby girl, born in a Nashville, Tenn., hospital, was carried by a surrogate -- a "gestational carrier" -- but is the biological child of the actress and country star.
"Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret," the family told People on Monday.
The new daughter joins the couple's 2-year-old girl, Sunday Rose. Kidman previously adopted daughter Isabella and son Connor with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
"No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process," the new parents said, "in particular our gestational carrier."
Kidman and Urban didn't say a word about their new addition at the Golden Globes, but the Ministry spotted them slipping out of the Weinstein-Relativity Media party in a big rush around 10:30 p.m. We understand calling it a night if there's a newborn at home.
Leave your well wishes for the couple in the comments section below.

Let me see if I have this straight: a surrogate was artificially inseminated with Kidman's egg and Urban's sperm, carried and gave birth. Why didn't Kidman carry their child herself?

@k: are you really that naive/ignorant?

Mommy, I want to grow up and have a good job and be a gestational carrier.

Because K, have you ever carried a baby and given birth? Ouch! That's why.

Is this life or a really bad science fiction flick? Did a human woman have this child, or was the "gestational carrier" some kind of pod like the onstage guitarist from "Spinal Tap" was stuck in?
