KEY POINTS:
Nicole Kidman has laid bare some secrets in an interview for Vanity Fair magazine.
Kidman reveals she lost a baby early into her relationship with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
"From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies. And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic. And that's when it came that we would adopt Bella."
"There's a complicated background to that, given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told."
Kidman, 40, says she wants a child with new husband, musician Keith Urban, but is willing to wait a while, in order to spend some time by themselves.
"I'm yearning to have one. I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby. Keith knows I want one, and he has been getting there slowly."
Kidman also reveals in Vanity Fair that she was engaged to a man in between her relationships with ex Tom Cruise and current husband Keith Urban, but does not reveal the identity of the man.
"I get engaged and I get married - that's my thing... I got engaged to somebody...I wasn't ready. We weren't ready."
