The First Contract Wife Is Finally Pregnant

Nicole Kidman is pregnant.

The 40-year-old actress and her country singer husband Keith Urban - who married in June 2006 - confirmed they are expecting their first child together.

Nicole's representative Catherine Olim revealed yesterday (07.01.08): "The couple are thrilled."

It was reported this week the Oscar-winning actress has pulled out of post-World War II Germany drama 'The Reader' - which she was supposed to start filming in Berlin with Ralph Fiennes this month - as she is worried undue stress may harm her unborn baby.

Matthew Frankel, a spokesman for the Weinstein Company who are producing the film, denied the actress has quit the movie, saying: "I am being told that the status on 'The Reader' has not changed."

Nicole - who has suffered miscarriages in the past - already has two adopted children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise - Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12.

She has made no secret of the fact she would like a child of her own, saying recently: "I love babies. I would say it's in God's hands. If God wills it, it will happen, right?"
