Nicole Kidman’s time as a single lady may have come to a close as rumours swirl that the Aussie star has a new beau.

Kidman, 58, had a high-profile and public split from ex-husband Keith Urban in 2025.

The pair, who first met at a Los Angeles event in 2005 before marrying in 2006, had for years appeared like the ultimate couple, until news of their split shocked the world.

In September, 2025, People reported that Kidman and Urban had separated. Just one day later, Kidman filed for divorce.

The court papers put the split down to “irreconcilable differences”, and the couple, for the most part, have chosen the high road, staying away from publicly bad-mouthing each other.

The couple’s divorce was finalised in January 2026, with Kidman moving forward to embrace “what’s good”.

“What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that,” Kidman told Variety in March.

“Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of, ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

Reports around Kidman and a new man have bubbled away for some time, but now, popular celebrity news site Deuxmoi claims the Moulin Rouge star has been snapped up.

“A source tells Deuxmoi that Nicole Kidman is allegedly dating a high-profile entertainment executive,” the outlet reported in their podcast and online.

“We’re told the relationship has been quietly developing for the past few months and the pair have been keeping things extremely low-key and largely out of the public eye.”

Fans were quick to flood the celebrity news site with comments supporting Kidman and her reported new man.

“Happy for her!” one person wrote on Instagram.

Another hoped the secret man was up to Kidman’s level.

“Whomever it is I hope he’s TALL!”

Who is Nicole Kidman’s new man?

So, who is the new man Kidman is reportedly linked to? That’s the million-dollar question.

Since the split, two names have appeared in rumours of a new relationship

Speculation has run rampant on whether Kidman could have been, or is currently, in a relationship with a high-profile MGM executive.

In February, TMZ reported that Chairman of the Board of MGM Resorts International, Paul Salem, “had his eye” on Kidman.

The pair, according to the outlet, had met through mutual friends and had met at several group gatherings.

TMZ added the sources claimed Salem was making his interest in Kidman known.

At the time, sources close to Kidman attempted to shut down the rumours.

“She’s not dating,” one insider told Page Six.

“She’s single and concentrating on her children.”

In March, another name entered the chat: Simon Baker.

The fellow Aussie recently appeared alongside Kidman in the series Scarpetta.

Hand holding and naturally chemistry has left tongues waging and rumours persisting.

Although some fans hoped it could be Baker, those online commenting on Duexmoi’s report said the term “high-profile entertainment executive” sounded more like Salem.

So far, the teams around Kidman, Salem and Baker have been tight-lipped on a new relationship status, so fans might be left waiting a little longer for good news.
