Following the end of her 19-year marriage to singer Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman is rumored to have found love again. The speculations started floating after she was recently spotted at a getaway in Italy with financier Michael Reinstein.

This comes amid earlier reports of Kidman and Urban “moving forward” after their marriage was officially dissolved in January 2026. Speculation about the actress’ fresh romance began to circulate after Page Six published photos of her and Reinstein from their vacation in Italy.

Nicole Kidman Was Spotted Holidaying In Italy With Michael Reinstein

The Babygirl star could be seen holidaying with the private equity investor in Portofino, Italy. They were also photographed at a hotel during the same trip.

According to a news report in the Enquirer, an insider close to this new development reveals that Urban remains “unfazed” by his former wife’s dating rumors and is neither surprised by her pictures with the financier going viral on the internet.

The source said, “Among their friends, it’s common knowledge they’ve both been moving on in their own ways.” The insider further added that the duo had managed to keep their personal life out of the limelight ever since their divorce.

Keith Urban Has Also Been “Privately Dating”

However, while the Big Little Lies actress has now sparked rumors of a budding romance with Michael Reinstein, reportedly, Urban has also been dating privately following their separation.

According to reports, the Baby Come Back singer is taking ample precautions to keep his dating life under wraps and is being careful not to meet potential partners in public. Not only that, but he is even going the extra mile to protect his privacy and making them sign strict non-disclosure agreements.

The source added that Keith Urban is hesitant to make any relationship official before Nicole Kidman does, which has created a “cat-and-mouse game” between them.

The country singer’s need for privacy might stem from the criticism he received in September last year, when he was allegedly linked romantically to younger women after his split from Nicole.

The insider added, “He took such a beating. It’s no wonder he’s been afraid to let anything about his private life get out.” The source also hinted that the singer has no qualms about making his new dating life public after the Practical Magic actress does the same.

The source said, “He’ll actually be relieved. Then he won’t have to keep looking over his shoulder or worry about being painted as the bad guy all over again.”

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban tied the knot on June 25, 2006, and share two daughters, Sunday, 18, and Faith, 15. The Others actress filed for divorce from Keith in September 2025, and the divorce was finalized in January 2026.

Speaking for the first time about her highly publicized split in March 2026, Nicole told Variety that she intends to focus on her professional life and catering to her motherhood duties post-divorce.

She said, “I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good. What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That’s that.”
