Nicole Kidman gave birth yesterday to a baby girl named Sunday in Nashville.

Paul Freundlich, a publicist for Urban, said: “Nicole and Keith Urban are delighted to announce that Nicole Kidman gave birth to a baby girl on Monday morning. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban weighed 6 pounds, 7 1/2 ounces. Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side and mother and baby are very well.”

The baby is the first for Kidman and Urban. 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.

Christie Brinkley, testifying yesterday at her divorce trial, said it was a “nightmare” to put on a brave face and throw a birthday party with 30 kids after learning that her husband had an affair with a teenager. But the model, 54, said such homespun family celebrations are part of a lifestyle that means the world to her. She said she tried to spare her two young children the messy details of the breakup, including her discovery of husband Peter Cook’s Internet pornography habits.

The couple are arguing over custody of the children, ages 10 and 13. Alexa Ray Joel, 22, Brinkley’s daughter with “Piano Man” singer Billy Joel, is 22.

Last week, the court heard testimony from Cook, 49, an architect, and his former mistress, Diana Bianchi, who was 18 when she began seeing him. Cook said he gave Bianchi a $300,000 payoff, had trysts with her in his office and Brinkley’s Hamptons homes, and spent thousands of dollars on online porn.
