Nicole Kidman‘s recent appearance with financier Michael Reinstein in Italy has led to further romance speculation.
This release also sparked renewed interest in her relationship with her ex-husband, Keith Urbanwith insiders saying the two have quietly moved on since finalizing their divorce earlier this year.
These reports come months after Nicole Kidman spoke publicly about focusing on her family and moving forward after the end of their nearly 20-year marriage.
Insider reveals Keith Urban’s reaction to Nicole Kidman’s new romance
Urban is apparently unfazed by recent photos linking his ex-wife Nicole Kidman to another man, according to a source who says the two stars have been moving forward with their lives since their split.
The speculation follows images posted by Page six showed the actress relaxing in Portofino, Italy, alongside private equity investor Michael Reinstein. The two were also photographed together at a luxury hotel during the trip, fueling rumors of a possible romance.
According to a close source, those close to Urban and Kidman were not surprised by the photographs.
“Among their friends, it’s common knowledge that they’ve both moved on in their own ways,” the source claimed, according to reports, adding that they’ve simply managed to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight.
Although attention has recently focused on Kidman’s social life, the source claimed that Urban has also been dating privately since the reported end of their marriage.
However, the country music star has reportedly gone to great lengths to avoid public scrutiny, choosing not to meet potential partners in highly visible locations and taking extra steps to protect her privacy, even having them sign strict nondisclosure agreements.
Keith Urban reportedly waited for Nicole Kidman to go public with her new romance
The insider further claimed that Urban had been reluctant to go public with any new relationships before Kidman, creating what they described as a “game of cat and mouse” behind the scenes.
The 58-year-old singer has reportedly faced criticism after being linked to several young women following the couple’s split in September.
According to the source, this reaction has made him increasingly cautious about revealing details about his personal life.
“He took such a beating,” the source told a media outlet. “It’s no wonder he was afraid to reveal anything about his private life.”
The insider noted that “the moment Nicole confirms a new romance, whether with this man she’s now linked to or someone else, Keith will be more than happy to do the same.”
“He will actually be relieved,” the source continued. “Then he won’t have to look over his shoulder or worry about being painted as the bad guy again.”
