Sydney: Nicole Kidman revealed that she feels love for the woman who carried her second child.
After a "roller-coaster ride" with fertility problems, the Oscar-winning actress and her husband, country-music singer Keith Urban, surprised the world last month when they announced the arrival of a second baby daughter, Faith Margaret, born on December 28 last year to a "gestational carrier" in the US.
Kidman, who was present at Faith`s birth, said the experience was "deeply emotional, moving".
"Having given birth and then ... seeing my child being born this way, the love I felt for our surrogate... she was the most wonderful woman to do this for us," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted her as telling the Nine Network`s 60 Minutes program yesterday.
"We were in a place of desperately wanting another child and this opportunity arose for us and I couldn`t get pregnant and we wanted another baby.
"I get emotional even talking about it because I`m so grateful to her.
"Anyone knows the disappointment, the pain and the loss that you go through trying and struggling with fertility ... [it] is such a big thing.
"I`ve had a roller-coaster ride with fertility."
And while she hasn`t ruled out having more children, Kidman suspects Urban has a different perspective on the matter.
"I think if you ask Keith would we have another baby he`d be like, no. We love what we have."
