This is one of the more beautiful covers I’ve seen of Nicole Kidman. She looks so beautiful. Not made-up, not dressed in some amazing gown. Just down-to-earth, natural and beautiful with her baby girl, Faith.

Here we have Nicole on the June cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia. She’s holding her 18-month-old daughter Faith.

Nicole’s hair is chopped very short, in a cute little bob. She cut her hair for her portrayal of 33-year-old Grace Kelly in ‘Grace of Monaco’.

Here’s more from Harper’s Bazaar:

Truth, beauty, family. Editor Edwina McCann gets to know the real Nicole Kidman on location at BAZAAR’s August cover shoot.

Nicole Kidman is no stranger to criticism. She faced plenty after the birth in December 2010 of Faith Margaret, a much-yearned for sister for Sunday Rose. Faith was famously born with the help of a “gestational carrier” as is the common term in the US. No doubt there will be those who throw yet more criticism at her for allowing her children to feature in photos in this month’s Harper’s BAZAAR. So I wanted to explain what happened behind the scenes.

Kidman was booked for our cover shoot with a young Australian photographer and regular BAZAAR contributor, Will Davidson. The shoot took place a few hours out of Sydney in a country home with a perfect red dirt road, as envisioned by Davidson. Kidman arrived on time, without entourage, and even spotted the crew not a coffee but a coffee van — “my treat” — when she was told the cost was beyond the shoot budget. She was a willing photographic subject, talked to me in an unguarded and genuinely warm manner before the pictures, and later waited obligingly until dark for a specific Gucci dress to arrive. (In the end the light was so low that the shot didn’t make the cut.) Later in the afternoon, Sunday Rose and Faith arrived after their sleeps to see Mummy. Kidman didn’t want to put them down; Sunday Rosedonned one of the tuxedo jackets from the clothing racks because it was getting chilly. The photographer then took some shots of Kidman with the girls solely for her family album.

Nicole didn’t mind her children being photographed for the magazine, either. She said, “I think it’s OK, because you can’t see their faces; they’re still protected. I feel it’s a really lovely way to celebrate being a mum and being a family, and they’re my daughters, and they’re Keith’s daughters [laughs] … you can see the hair!”

I love, love, love the cover! Beautiful!

Nicole Kidman sat down with Australian 60 Minutes and opened up about her new daughter, Faith, and her struggles with fertility.

“We were in a place of desperately wanting another child,” she says. “This opportunity arose for us, and I couldn’t get pregnant.”

“Anyone that’s been in the place of wanting another child or wanting a child knows the disappointment, the pain and the loss that you go through trying and struggling with fertility,” the Rabbit Hole actress, 43, tells Australia’s 60 Minutes in an interview set to air Sunday night. “Fertility is such a big thing, and it’s not something I’ve ever run away from talking about.”

It’s a struggle that dates back to her marriage with Tom Cruise – whom she divorced in 2001 after adopting kids Isabella, 18, and Connor, 15. In 2007, the actress revealed she had a miscarriage before they split.

After giving birth to daughter Sunday Rose, now 2, her first child with husband Keith Urban, Kidman says the couple used a surrogate because of her fertility struggles.

Now as the family settles down in their homes in Nashville and Los Angeles, Kidman says she enjoys time with all of her kids equally.

“Children are children – you’ll die for your children,” she says. “And when you feel that as parent – that’s the unconditional love.”

Nicole Kidman talks candidly about her ‘lost years’ and happiness, busting Hollywood myths and finding love in Tennessee.

Nicole Kidman on her marriage with Tom Cruise

As a couple we were very private,’ she reflects. ‘We were not out a lot and we were very, very tight and that’s why we lasted ten years, which is a good amount of time, particularly when you get married at 23.’

‘I was never seeking to be a celebrity,’ she says of their romance. ‘But I was prepared to do that for love. And that is something that is hard to do. It’s hard when you’re young. But I’m ready to give up anything for love because, ultimately, that is what you have. You get so much from a relationship when it is filled with love.’

Nicole Kidman on Botox

But the celebrity press would have it she invented Botox, ‘Well, I move my forehead, I frown…’ she leans in to prove her point. ‘I tried it, I didn’t like it, so I’ve gone back to my own forehead. But I’ve never had plastic surgery on my face. People say I have but I haven’t.

She talks about Keith, kids and love after the jump! PLUS one more pic! (more…)
