What is Nicole Kidman’s status with Michael Reinstein?
A source confirmed to US Weekly that Kidman, 59, “is dating again” after her divorce and “has been seeing” Reinstein, a private equity investor. The pair made headlines when they were pictured cozying up during an Italian getaway in July, about six months after the divorce was finalized.
The insider said mutual friends introduced them. Kidman has not publicly confirmed the rumored romance, and Page Six reported it has sought comment from reps for Kidman, Urban, and Reinstein.
The same source stressed that the relationship is not exclusive in tone: Kidman “has also been on several dates with other people, and her friends are always trying to set her up.” Reinstein, 54, remains part of that “fun,” casual chapter rather than a locked-in headline partnership.
How has Kidman’s life changed since the Keith Urban split?
Kidman and Urban, 58, separated in September 2025 after nearly 20 years of marriage and finalized the divorce four months later, in January. Roughly a year on from the split, sources say she is “happy” and “doing really well now.”
Friends including Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock helped her through the aftermath. Bullock, the insider claimed, “gave [Kidman] this sense of familiarity and home” while they filmed “Practical Magic 2” together.
In an August interview with British Vogue, the “Lioness” star said she is “embracing love.” She admitted she “didn’t expect” her life’s turn, adding that plans change and “you have to adjust. You adapt.”
Are Kidman and Urban on better terms now?
Yes, according to the insider: Kidman and Urban “are in a much better place now” and “the dust has really settled.” “There’s still a lot of respect between them despite everything they went through,” the source said of the co-parents.
Urban has faced separate romance rumors involving country singer Karley Scott Collins and guitarist Maggie Baugh; both women have denied romantic involvement with him. Kidman’s camp, meanwhile, frames her outlook as forward-looking: “It feels like she’s finally on the other side of everything,” the insider shared, calling her positive, confident, and “optimistic about this next chapter.”
