Speaking to US magazine Vanity Fair, Nicole has talked openly for the first time about the miscarriage she suffered while she was married to Tom, and has admitted she was warned against marrying the Hollywood superstar in 1990.

Tom, who's always remained tight-lipped about his marriage to Nicole, is said to be furious that she's chosen to reveal information about their private life.

Although none of Nicole's revelations portray Tom in a bad light, he's said to be concerned she may upset their kids, Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12.

"From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies," says Nicole. "And we lost a baby very early on, so that was really very traumatic. That's when it came that we would adopt Bella."
