Nicole Kidman being romantically pursued by multi-millionaire businessman: report
Nicole Kidman is said to have a new suitor just weeks after finalizing her divorce from Keith Urban.
Multimillionaire businessman Paul Salem is romantically pursuing the 58-year-old “Babygirl” star, several sources familiar with the matter told TMZ on Monday.
Insiders told the outlet that Salem, who serves as the Chairman of the Board for MGM Resorts International, is interested in the Oscar-winner and has made that known to the people closest to him.
Although Kidman and the wealthy businessman, 62, reportedly share two mutual friends and have mingled twice in group settings, sources clarified that they are not dating and have not spent time together one-on-one.
Like the “Eyes Wide Shut” star, Salem is a divorcee. He and his ex-wife, Navyn Salem, reportedly split in 2021.
Kidman’s reps have not immediately returned Page Six’s request for comment.
Reports that Salem is romantically pursuing Kidman come just one month after the “Big Little Lies” star and Urban, 58, finalized their divorce on Jan. 6.
The former couple, who tied the knot in June 2006, announced that they were separating in September 2025.
“Sometimes relationships just run their course,” a source told Page Six at the time, adding that Kidman “did not want the separation and was trying to save things.”
She officially filed for divorce from the country rocker on Sept. 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The exes share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
“Nicole spends a lot of time with her girls,” a source told People last month. “She loves family time.”
“She is refreshed and optimistic about the new year,” the insider also shared before adding that the newly single actress is “looking ahead to a busy and exciting year professionally too, with several projects coming up.”
As for Urban, he has since been romantically linked to both his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh, and the up-and-coming country singer Karley Scott Collins.
While those romance rumors were ultimately dismissed by Collins and a close friend of Baugh’s, an insider claimed that Urban had moved in with a new love interest last month.
“I hear he has someone, which is why the girls are publicly supporting Mom,” the source alleged to the Daily Mail last month.
“People think they are even living together,” the insider added. “Look, teen girls love their dads, so there’s a reason they’re making it three against one.”
