Nicole Kidman allegedly had a clause written into her prenuptial agreement with Keith Urban that he had to go to rehab if he started drinking or taking drugs again - on the insistence of ex-husband Tom Cruise.

According to reports, country music star Keith did not check himself into rehab to be treated for alcohol addition voluntarily last month, but because of a legal obligation in his prenup specified by Tom to protect his children with Nicole.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Nicole's lawyer put this clause in to demonstrate to Tom that Keith's past problems wouldn't affect the kids."

The 39-year-old 'Cold Mountain actress has two adopted children with Tom, Connor, 11, and Isabella, 13.

Since Nicole remarried she has not seen much of the children as they have spent most of their time with Tom and his new fiancée Katie Holmes.

Nicole has also had to put her baby plans on hold since Keith was admitted to rehab.

A source said: "Nicole will not entertain plans for kids until she is sure Keith is back on track and clean again. They are both very much in love and have often talked about starting a family but all that has been pushed aside while he deals with his problem. She already has two much-loved children and while she's mothering Keith she's hardly going to be in a good position to have more."

The couple married this summer and Nicole has made no secret that she would like to have a baby.

She said: "I'd like to give birth to a baby. I'd feel blessed if that was given to me."
