Nicole Kidman may be one of Hollywood’s most talked-about stars, but sources say her focus right now is far from romance. In the wake of her divorce from Keith Urban, speculation about her love life has intensified. However, insiders claim the actress is intentionally keeping things simple and drama-free. Her attention, they say, is firmly on the people and passions that matter most.
Nicole Kidman is ‘focused on the things that make her happy, like family and work,’ per source
According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, Kidman is in a positive place following her split and has no immediate plans to reenter the dating world. The insider said the actress is “not rushing into dating” and that life has “settled down” after a period of transition. Instead, she is said to be concentrating on “the things that make her happy, like family and work.”
Kidman shares daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret with Keith Urban. At the same time, she is also a mother to Bella and Connor from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise. The “Babygirl” star filed for divorce from Urban in September last year. She cited “irreconcilable differences” shortly after the couple marked their 19th wedding anniversary. The divorce, filed in Nashville where they had lived for years, was finalized in early January.
Despite recent rumors suggesting new romantic possibilities, including claims linking her to MGM Resorts chairman Paul Salem, sources within Kidman’s circle have pushed back on the speculation. Insiders have alleged there is “no romantic relationship” and emphasized that she is not pursuing anyone privately at this time.
Those close to Kidman say conversations about dating have happened, but only casually among friends. The discussions are described as “lighthearted,” with no pressure attached. When she eventually decides she is ready, the source suggested she would likely rely on trusted friends to set her up with someone, rather than jump impulsively into a relationship.
In the meantime, Kidman’s attention appears firmly directed toward her children and a busy professional slate. After spending the holidays in Australia, insiders previously said she returned feeling “refreshed and optimistic” as the new year began. She has since shared glimpses of that outlook publicly, including a cheerful “Happy Galentines” post on Instagram celebrating friendship.
