The Tennessee population just increased by one adorable baby! Actress Nicole Kidman, 41, and husband, country singer Keith Urban, 40, were blessed with a healthy baby girl this morning, July 7th. The couple’s brand new daughter, who they named Sunday Rose, came into the world (interestingly on Monday, rather than Sunday) in the city where they reside, Nashville, weighing 6 lbs, 7.5 oz.

During a concert in Nashville with Kenny Chesney on Saturday night, Keith was hinting about Nicole’s oh-so-soon delivery, “I’m going to dedicate a song to my very, very, very, very, VERY pregnant wife!” He went on to sing, “Better Half“ for Nicole in front of thousands. Then, this morning, on his website, the proud new daddy announced the exciting news, “Early Monday 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. More to follow..” According to a representative, “Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well.”

According to reports, Nicole’s family flew in from Australia over the weekend to be here for Sunday’s arrival. Nicole’s mother, Janelle, along with her sister, Antonia, came from Sydney to welcome the newest addition to their family. Nicole’s father stayed back in Sydney to care for Antonia’s four children.

Nicole shared during her pregnancy that her first trimester was a difficult one, plagued by “severe morning sickness.” The gender of the new addition wasn’t unknown before delivery, but Nicole wanted to keep it private. “I know [the sex of the baby], but I’m not sharing,” she said.

Baby Sunday is Nicole and Keith’s first child together and also the first biological child for each of them. Nicole has two adopted children, Isabella (15) and Connor (13) from her previous marriage to actor Tom Cruise. During her marriage to Tom, Nicole suffered a miscarriage soon after they were married, before they chose to adopt Isabella and Connor. Nicole and Keith wed two years ago on June 25th in Sydney, Australia.

Congratulations, Nicole and Keith on your precious new daughter!
