March 30 -- Nicole Kidman suffered a miscarriage shortly after her husband of 10 years, Hollywood star Tom Cruise, filed for divorce in February, according to an Australian newspaper report.

Kidman's Australian publicist confirmed the miscarriage to The Daily Telegraph today. "It is a private matter for Tom and Nicole to work out," Wendy Day told the paper. "I believe the story is out there and running. We can't deny the story."

American tabloid The Star had printed a story on Thursday stating that Kidman was three months pregnant when she and Cruise split, and that the actress had suffered a miscarriage two weeks ago. Kidman's U.S. rep would not comment on the matter.

The 33-year-old actress, who has been lying low since news of her divorce broke, apparently miscarried at a Los Angeles hospital in early March. Kidman and Cruise have two adopted children, Isabella, 8, and Connor, 6.

Kidman had to drop out of filming new thriller The Panic Room in January, citing a recurring knee injury that has haunted her since she shot Moulin Rouge.

The actress, who portrays a seductive cabaret performer in Rouge, apparently plans to do press for the film, which is set to open the Cannes Film Festival on May 9.
