A Hollywood veteran has reportedly advised Nicole Kidman that she may be better off staying single for now following her divorce from Keith Urban.

The actress and her singer ex-husband shocked fans when they split last year after nearly two decades of marriage, but rumors linking her to her Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker have continued to swirl in recent months.

While neither Nicole Kidman nor Simon Baker has confirmed a romance, the pair are known to have shared a longtime friendship spanning several years.

The Actress Was Reportedly Advised To Pause Dating By Russell Crowe

Amid growing speculation surrounding Nicole Kidman and her longtime friend and Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker, the actress has reportedly been advised to stay out of the dating scene for now.

The advice is said to have come from actor Russell Crowe, who starred alongside Kidman in the 2018 film “Boy Erased” and has remained a longtime friend.

He believes Kidman would be better off remaining single for the time being, following her split from Keith Urban, as rushing into a new relationship could be more about filling an emotional void than finding genuine love.

“He’s spent years of his life as a single parent without a partner, and he says he experienced a lot of growth during those times,” an insider said of Crowe, per Globe Magazine. “That’s why he’s warning Nicole not to dive headfirst into a new relationship to fill the void left by Keith’s absence.”

Nicole Kidman Was Urged To Focus On Her Children

For his part, Russell Crowe was previously married to Australian actress and musician Danielle Spencer from 2003 until their divorce was finalized in 2018.

Although he has since entered a relationship with Britney Theriot, Crowe has publicly maintained that he has no intention of marrying again.

Instead, he is said to have found fulfillment in his children, whom he prioritizes above all else, and has reportedly encouraged Kidman to adopt a similar focus.

“You have to hand it to Russell because this is all coming from a place of genuine love and respect for Nicole,” the source said of Crowe’s advice.

According to the insider, it remains to be seen whether Kidman will ultimately take his advice to heart.

However, there are already signs she may be embracing at least the perspective of focusing on her kids, as she has been spotted publicly with her children on several occasions since her divorce from Urban.

Nicole Kidman’s Friend Naomi Watts Allegedly Wants Her To Begin A Romance With Simon Baker

Unlike Crowe, who reportedly wants Kidman to steer clear of relationships for now, another friend of the actress is said to feel differently.

According to Woman’s Day, Kidman’s friend Naomi Watts is aware of the rumors linking the actress to her “Scarpetta” co-star Simon Baker and is hoping the two pursue a romance as soon as possible.

“Simon’s always been a good friend of Nicole’s – she and Naomi are both godmothers to his kids – but it’s always been a strictly platonic friendship,” a source told the outlet.

The insider also noted that Watts knows Baker would “drop everything and everyone to hook up with” Kidman, which seemingly makes the duo the perfect fit.

Nicole Kidman Sparked Romance Rumors After ‘Scarpetta’ Premiere

Weeks ago, Kidman sparked romance rumors with Baker at the premiere of their new sci-fi project.

The two arrived with their hands intertwined and appeared very close as they posed for cameras on the red carpet. They reportedly spent the rest of the evening together at an after-party, where they seemed to be enjoying each other’s company.

During promotional interviews, Kidman and Baker also displayed a strong bond and have declined to address questions about whether they are romantically involved.

While it remains unclear whether they are more than friends, the pair’s ex-spouses have reportedly reacted intensely to the romance rumors.

A source claimed that Urban had already suspected Kidman was growing close to Baker during filming and views the situation as his “worst nightmare come true.”

“He hates that they’re giving interviews about how close they are,” the source added, per New Idea.

Meanwhile, Baker’s ex, Rebecca Rigg, is said to have been blindsided by the rumors and reportedly believes the two dating would be “pretty insensitive,” given that Kidman is considered like family.
