Nicole Kidman Boyfriend: Who is the Star’s Latest Love Interest
Nicole Kidman’s love life has been the subject of persistent speculation in recent months, and the Nicole Kidman boyfriend chatter shows no sign of slowing down as September 2026 rolls on.
The Oscar-winning actress split from country star Keith Urban in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage, with court papers citing “irreconcilable differences.” The divorce was finalised in January 2026, with both parties agreeing to waive spousal and child support. Kidman has largely kept her post-divorce life private, telling Variety in March that she was focused on “keeping my family as is and moving forward,” and later telling British Vogue that “the future is completely unknown to me right now.”
That didn’t stop the rumour mill. Celebrity gossip outlet Deuxmoi was among the first to report that Kidman was “allegedly dating a high-profile entertainment executive,” with sources describing a relationship that had been “quietly developing” for months. Reports subsequently named MGM Resorts International chairman Paul Salem as the mystery man, with some outlets claiming the relationship had cooled Keith Urban’s own feelings — he was said to be “raging” with “anger and jealousy” over the idea of Kidman being pursued by such a “powerful” figure.
By midsummer, attention had shifted to a new name: Michael Reinstein, a private equity investor based in Beverly Hills. Kidman and Reinstein were photographed together in Portofino, Italy, in July, lounging poolside at the Belmond Splendido and taking a romantic stroll along the coast. Days later, paparazzi caught Reinstein picking Kidman up from Burbank airport and driving her around Los Angeles in his black Ferrari 296 GTB.
According to the “Deux U” podcast, Kidman had reportedly been “playing the field” before settling into things with Reinstein, going on several other dates that “didn’t work out.” As of early September, the pair appear to still be an item. A source told Us Weekly that the relationship is “casual” and that “she is having fun,” adding that the two were introduced by mutual friends. The timing lines up with a busy professional stretch for Kidman, who has been promoting “Practical Magic 2” alongside Sandra Bullock and the TV series “Lioness.”
Friends say the actress has leaned heavily on her circle throughout the transition, with Bullock in particular offering a sense of “familiarity and home” during filming. An insider told HOLA! that Kidman “is doing really well now; she’s happy, and it feels like she’s finally on the other side of everything.” Interestingly, the same source suggested her relationship with Urban has also improved since the split, claiming the exes are “in a much better place now” with “still a lot of respect” between them.
Kidman shares two teenage daughters, Sunday Rose, 18, and Faith Margaret, 15, with Urban, and two adult children, Bella and Connor, adopted during her earlier marriage to Tom Cruise.
As with most Hollywood romance rumours, nothing about the Reinstein relationship has been confirmed directly by Kidman or her representatives — the reporting so far rests entirely on unnamed sources, paparazzi photos and podcast chatter. Whether the relationship develops into something more public remains to be seen, but for now, the Nicole Kidman boyfriend storyline is one of the more closely watched threads in celebrity news heading into autumn 2026.
