Shortly after closing the chapter on her marriage to Keith Urban, 58-year-old Nicole Kidman could already have a high-profile admirer showing interest.
According to reports, multimillionaire businessman Paul Salem has openly expressed interest in pursuing the Oscar-winning actress. Sources claim he has already hinted to people in his circle that he would like to build something serious with her.
Kidman and Salem reportedly share two mutual friends and have crossed paths at social gatherings several times. However, they have not yet been seen spending time together privately.
“He’s interested and actively trying to win her over,” insiders claim.
The legal end of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s 19-year union came in early January. Their breakup had first been made public in September 2025, when they cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for parting ways. Sources suggested Kidman had hoped for reconciliation, only to be shaken later by speculation that Urban had allegedly moved on with another woman.
Their 19-year union resulted in two daughters, who are currently living with Kidman.
Long before her relationship with Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman spent over a decade married to Tom Cruise, from 1990 to 2001. Together, they became parents to two adopted children, both now grown.
In his professional role, Salem acts as board chairman of MGM Resorts International, widely recognized as one of the world’s top operators in hotels and gaming. He divorced his wife, Navin, in 2021 after 28 years of marriage. The former couple have four children.
Now, with Kidman newly single and Salem reportedly making his interest known, attention is shifting to whether this is simply admiration — or the beginning of something much bigger.
