With her husband Keith Urban being a hockey fan, Nicole Kidman has become a regular at Nashville Predator games when she's at home in Tennessee. But given her expression during the Western Conference semi-finals on Monday night, perhaps we can assume she doesn't share the same passion for the game as her husband. During a tense three hour game, which resulted in the Predators missing out on a place in the finals after losing 2-1 to the Vancouver Canucks, Kidman kept finding her mind wandering elsewhere.
But perhaps in her defence, she was tired due to her late nights with the couple's 19-week-old baby daughter Faith. Kidman and Urban's attendance at the hockey match came just four days after they watched the two teams clash on Friday night. Missing out on the game were the couple's two children Faith and Sunday, two, who were presumably back at the couple's $3.4million Nashville home with a nanny.
Also at the game was American Idol winner and country singer Carrie Underwood, who was cheering on her husband Mike Fisher, who plays for the Predators. Despite Fisher's hard work on the ice, Underwood looked gutted when his team crashed out of the playoffs, meaning their season has come to an end.
Unlike Urban and Kidman, who wore their regular clothes, Underwood, 28, wore a Predators team jersey to show her support. Since Faith was born just before New Year via a surrogate, Kidman has had a busy few months.
She and Urban were regulars on the awards circuit in January and February after she was nominated for several accolades for her performance in Rabbit Hole. And since last month, Kidman has relocated to San Frascisco to film a HBO movie Hemingway And Gellhorn. The drama is centered around the love affair between Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) and WWII correspondent Martha Gellhorn, the second of his four wives, played by Kidman. The all star cast also includes David Strathairn, Parker Posey, Rodrigo Santoro, Molly Parker, Santiago Cabrera, Peter Coyote, Saverio Guerra, Diane Baker, Tony Shalhoub and Lars Ulrich.
