Nicole Kidman was interviewed on Australia's Sixty Minutes tonight. The birth of Faith Margaret to a surrogate (rumoured to be her personal assistant), is an experience Kidman refers to as "deeply emotional, moving."
"Having given birth and then being there to see my child born in that way, I felt so much love for our surrogate, gestational carrier," said Kidman.
Kidman also explained why she uses the term 'gestational carrier' as opposed to 'surrogate' - something she was criticised for in the days following the announcement of baby Faith's birth.
"We were trying to be accurate," she shares. "The term 'gestational carrier' is used if it's your biological child and if it isn't, then you use 'surrogate.'
Perhaps the real reason she used the term 'gestational carrier' is to make sure people believe her own 43 year old eggs were used. Not for a minute does she want you to believe otherwise. I mean, does it really matter? She should love the baby regardless of whether it is biologically hers or not.
Opening up about her roller-coaster ride with fertility, Kidman reveals, "Anyone that's been in the place of wanting a child knows the disappointment, the pain and the loss you go through. Struggling with fertility is such a big thing and it's not something that I would run away from talking about. We were in a place of desperately wanting another child and I couldn't get pregnant," she says tearfully. "I get emotional just talking about it, because I'm so grateful."
Wonderful that the surrogate was able to help .... again?
