Hope springs eternal in the romance department for Nicole Kidman, according to an interview appearing in a German magazine. "I haven't given up hope that somewhere out there somebody is waiting for me and I can fall in love again," Journal fuer die Frau quoted the "Moulin Rouge" star, 34, as saying. "I am still very romantic . . . And I am sure that it is more beautiful to love properly and lose everything than never to know what love is." Recapping her troublesome year -- a surprise separation and then divorce filing from her husband of 10 years, Tom Cruise, as well as a miscarriage and an alleged stalker -- the Australian native said that she feels "much stronger" now. "My biggest wish would be to move to Sydney with the children (Isabella, 8, and Connor, 6)," she adds, "(and) to see them grow up there, where I spent my own childhood. I love that city, the zest for life and the openness of us Aussies."
