While still a relatively unknown actor in the U.S., Nicole Kidman joined Tom Cruise in the movie "Days of Thunder," and the two married in 1990. Kidman soon became pregnant but lost her first child due to an ectopic pregnancy. The couple then adopted daughter Isabella Jane followed by son Connor Anthony before divorcing in 2001.
The decision to adopt was not a new idea to Kidman. "I always knew I'd adopt," she shared with Vogue. "I knew that I was going to have a child and that it didn't matter [how], I actually didn't know if I was ever going to give birth to a child."
Although there are constant rumors about the star's relationship with her adopted children, now both adults, Kidman has said they prefer to keep their lives private, and she respects that decision. She did gush about them to The Australian Women's Weekly, though, as reported by E! News. "They are generous, kind, and hardworking. And these are traits that I love to see in my children," she said.
