Nicole Kidman, the 58-year-old Oscar-winning actress, is said to have caught the attention of multimillionaire businessman Paul Salem just weeks after finalizing her divorce from country star Keith Urban. Sources told TMZ that Salem, chairman of the board for MGM Resorts International, has made his romantic interest in Kidman known to those close to him.

Though Kidman and Salem share mutual friends and have been seen together at two group events, insiders clarified that the pair are not dating and have not spent time alone together. Salem, 62, is also divorced; he and his ex-wife Navyn Salem split in 2021.

The news comes only a month after Kidman and Urban officially ended their marriage, which began in June 2006 and was announced to be over in September 2025. Reports indicated that while Kidman initially tried to salvage the relationship, she ultimately filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. The couple shares two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, who remain a central focus in Kidman’s life.

Kidman’s representatives have not commented on the reports. Sources noted that she continues to prioritize family time and remains refreshed and optimistic for the new year, with several professional projects on the horizon.

Meanwhile, Urban has been romantically linked to guitarist Maggie Baugh, 25, and rising country singer Karley Scott Collins. Friends suggest Urban may now be cohabiting with a new partner, which has contributed to his daughters publicly supporting their mother.

Despite the swirling rumors, insiders stress that Salem and Kidman’s interactions remain social, and no romantic relationship has yet been confirmed. The reports serve as an early glimpse into Kidman’s life post-divorce and the possibilities that may come as she embarks on a new chapter.
