Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are delighted to announce that Nicole gave birth to a baby girl yesterday morning in Nashville. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban weighed in at six pounds, seven-and-a-half ounces. Husband Keith was by his wife’s side and mother and baby are very well. Yesterday Urban posted a message on his website that said: “We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.” The baby is the first for Kidman and Urban. She has two children, Isabella and Connor, from her marriage to Tom Cruise.

Last Friday evening, Keith and Nic attended a Fourth of July cookout at Ronnie Dunn’s home, which included Ronnie’s annual fireworks display. After hearing yesterday morning that the couple’s baby had been born, Ronnie shared the following note: “Nicole told me Friday night that she was hoping that my fireworks would do it. I’m overjoyed for them.” Ronnie’s duo partner Kix Brooks, who is traveling overseas this week, adds, “They’ve been so excited - I’m so happy for them. A red-headed movie star and a guitar slinger - [she’s] gonna be one beautiful baby girl!” LeAnn Rimes, a good friend of the couple, says she knows they “will be wonderful parents.” She tells People.com, “Nicole and Keith are two of the most kind, caring people I know. I am thrilled for them.”
