After closing the chapter on nearly two decades of marriage with Keith Urban in Tennessee, Nicole Kidman is reportedly stepping back into the dating world, but don’t expect her to be swiping aimlessly or entertaining random suitors. If anything, she’s treating this next phase of her love life like a high-stakes business negotiation.
Following her divorce from Keith Urban, the Oscar-winning actress is said to be embracing a fresh start from the Tennessee split with a very clear mindset: protect the peace at all costs, per Star.
According to a source, Nicole Kidman isn’t approaching dating casually. She’s allegedly leaned on her famously well-connected inner circle for guidance, and let’s just say, these women came prepared with advice. “Nicole has plenty of friends who are single and famous, just like her, so they’ve all given her the lowdown on what she needs to do to protect herself when she’s dating,” the source shares. “It goes beyond just being selective.”
Nicole Kidman Is Moving On From Her Tennessee Split With Keith Urban
“They told Nicole to have anyone she even goes on a date with sign a long non-disclosure agreement before they meet,” the source added. Apparently, there’s little concern about potential romance being scared off. “It sounds like it would be a turn off for most men, but Nicole’s friends have all promised her an NDA won’t be an issue — guys will be happy to sign in order to get close to her.”
But NDAs are just the beginning. The insider claims Kidman has had multiple contracts drawn up and is only considering men who come with a trusted reference. “Nicole had a series of contracts drawn up,” the source dishes. “She’s also only considering men who come recommended through a friend. And they need to be successful.”
After 19 years of marriage and raising daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, it’s understandable that Kidman isn’t interested in wasting time. There’s no room for situationships or mystery men with questionable motives. This is a woman who has built a legendary career, balanced motherhood, and navigated public scrutiny for decades. The bar is high and it’s staying there.
Contracts And NDAs Are Just The Beginning
There’s even buzz that she may already have someone circling the orbit. Business mogul Paul Salem has reportedly made his interest known. The chairman of the board of MGM Resorts International shares mutual friends with Kidman, though the two haven’t yet had a private, one-on-one meeting. Rumors about her relationship with actor John Travolta have also swirled.
Still, sources insist she’s not in a rush. “Nicole is far from desperate,” the insider notes. “She’s making a list of her dealbreakers and sticking to it.” There’s something refreshingly grounded about this new outlook. Instead of rebounding recklessly or diving headfirst into the spotlight with a flashy new romance, Kidman appears to be methodical.
Unfortunately, Nicole Kidman is no stranger to heartbreak. In addition to the end of her marriage in Tennessee with Keith Urban, she’s also famously divorced from actor Tom Cruise. The actress knows all too well what it takes to navigate a high-profile romance, and she’s reportedly coming prepared this time.
