Nicole Kidman is enjoying her stay in Hawaii. The famously fair-skinned redhead is braving the tropical sun in long sleeves, a hat, sunglasses and even a bandana to keep from getting crispy, but she's still finding ways to have fun with husband Keith Urban.

The two were spotted playing golf Monday while Nicole took a break from filming the upcoming romcom Just Go with It, with co-stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.

While the couple enjoyed a luxurious holiday at the five-star Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town, Kidman's children were on holiday with her ex-husband Angus Hawley, who claimed he knew nothing of the overseas nuptials.

    Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman have become the godparents of Rupert Murdoch's two youngest daughters after a ceremony held in Jordan.

The actors, who co-starred in Baz Luhrmann's 2008 film Australia, attended the baptism of Grace, eight, and Chloe, six, the media mogul's daughters with his third wife Wendi Deng. The ceremony took place beside the River Jordan at what is traditionally believed to be the baptism site of Jesus Christ.

Following the baptism, Queen Rania of Jordan invited Jackman, Kidman, the Murdochs, Kidman's husband Keith Urban and Ivanka Trump for a three-day tour of the country. The group visited Jordan's best-known tourist sites, including Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.

Rania told Hello! magazine, "I am happy to be sharing this land that I love with my friends. We're a small country but we're rich with history and culture... Our guests were blown away by the diversity and depth of what Jordan has to offer but, most of all, they told me they were taken in by the warmth and kindness of our people."
