Nicole Kidman gave birth Monday to a baby girl named Sunday.
The baby is the first for Kidman and country singer Keith Urban, who married in June 2006.
She has two children, Isabella and Connor, from her marriage to Tom Cruise.
Kidman recently told Vanity Fair that she had a miscarriage early on in her relationship with Cruise, leading them to adopt.
Urban posted a message on his Web site that read: “Earlier this morning Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban.
“We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.”
During a concert Saturday in Nashville, he said, “I’m going to dedicate a song to my very, very, very, very, very pregnant wife” before singing his hit, “Better Half.”
Kidman, 41, won an Oscar for her role in the 2002 film “The Hours.” Urban, 40, won a Grammy in 2006 for best male country vocal.
The couple, who were both raised in Australia, have a home in Nashville.

The daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin is getting her own doll.
The 10-inch Bindi Irwin doll sports khakis, puffy pigtails and hiking boots, and comes with a cockatoo, wombat and python.
A talking version of the doll uses such phrases as, “Crikey! Let’s go help wildlife.”
The younger Irwin stars in the Discovery Channel’s “Bindi the Jungle Girl.” Proceeds from sales of the dolls will help fund efforts to breed endangered species and rescue animals.

The winners took it all
Despite the astonishing success of the soon-to-be-a-movie stage musical “Mamma Mia!,” ABBA has ruled out any reunion tour.
The Swedish pop quartet split in 1982, but continues to sell nearly 3 million records a year.
Says songwriter Bjorn Ulvaeus: “Money is not a factor, and we would like people to remember us as we were – young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition.”
Tracks on wax?
Madame Tussaud‘s wax museum in London has announced it will unveil its version of Amy Winehouse later this month.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone’s Claire Hoffman, whose story about Winehouse appears in Thursday’s issue, calls her a “a tragicomic train wreck of epic proportions” who “furiously” itches at her scratched-up arms and is “dazed and keeps losing track of what she’s doing.”
