The couple had kept baby Faith Margaret a secret since she was born in Nashville on December 28 – just three days after Elton John and David Furnish's son made his entrance, also via a surrogate. "We needed lots of Faith," said - explaining the choice of name. Margaret was chosen as a tribute to her grandmother, who welcomed her last child aged 49. "As an older mother I wanted to pay tribute to her," she explained. Nicole is also mum to two-year-old Sunday Rose with Keith as well as adopted teenage children Isabella and Conor, from her marriage to Tom Cruise.
