Internet reports flashed around the globe that country superstar Keith Urban and his Oscar-winning wife Nicole Kidman are expecting twins via surrogacy.
A recent report had claimed that the actress rushed to Nashville, a week after her father Antony Kidman's death, to be with her unborn children's mother. Now, one of Kidman's close family friends has stepped up to address the reports.
The friend has emphatically labeled the online claims as "ridiculous" and "nonsense," according to the Daily Mail.
The reports about surrogate twins seemed to have been sparked when Kidman said in her interview that she still dreams of having more children.
"I hope every month that I'm pregnant, but I never am. I would be jumping for joy if it happens," she said to KIIS, as quoted by Us Weekly.
Kidman readily acknowledged that she is crazy about babies, calling them "extraordinary." She also said that she may be up for more babies, but she admitted that Urban won't be "jumping with joy" if she gets pregnant again, according to the International Business Times.
Urban and Kidman are parents to two daughters, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban. Her second daughter Faith was born via surrogacy. The duo did not announce her birth for several weeks. They reportedly wanted to keep the news to themselves.
The acclaimed actress had told E! News that she was so excited about Faith's arrival that she wanted to share the joy only with her husband. She also wanted to protect Faith from any kind of media scrutiny.
Kidman has two children, Isabella Jane Cruise and Connor Cruise from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise. She and Cruise were married from 1990 to 2001.
