Nicole Kidman is reportedly seeing someone new months after her 19-year marriage to Keith Urban ended, and the relationship has been developing quietly for the past few months. At 58, the Academy Award-winning actress is said to be keeping the romance extremely low-key and largely out of the public eye.
The timing is why the story is moving now. Kidman and Urban first met at a Los Angeles event in 2005, married in 2006, and then reached separation reports in September 2025 before their divorce was officially finalized in January 2026. That puts her new chapter just months after the legal end of a long marriage, which is enough to send readers looking for the name attached to the rumor.
That name has not been confirmed. Kidman was recently rumored to be receiving attention from Paul Salem, the Chairman of the Board at MGM Resorts International, and some insiders believe he may be the person behind the DeuxMoi claim. But that remains speculation, not a public identification, and the reported relationship has been handled so quietly that even the basic details are still being pieced together from whispers rather than hard disclosure.
What is clearer is the support network around her. A source said Reese Witherspoon has been a big factor in helping Kidman regain her confidence and embrace this new chapter, describing the friendship and support around her as immense after the divorce knocked the wind out of her sails. That helps explain why the actress is being described as cautious rather than public: she is moving forward, but not on anyone else’s timetable.
Kidman and Urban share two biological daughters, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, and she also has two older children, Isabella and Connor, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise. That family history is part of why the breakup drew so much attention, but the larger question now is simpler: whether the man linked to the rumor is in fact Paul Salem or someone else entirely. For now, the answer is not in the open, and that is exactly what keeps the story alive.
