Paul Salem, a wealthy businessman and Chairman of MGM Resorts International, has reportedly shown interest in Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman.

While the pair is not romantically involved at this time, they share mutual friends and have crossed paths twice in group settings.

Sources told TMZ that there have been no private meetings yet, but Salem's interest in Kidman is known among those close to him.

Kidman, 58, who is currently single following her divorce from country star Keith Urban, doesn't seem ready for another romantic journey just yet, as an insider who spoke to Page Six shared that "she is not dating anyone" and is "focused on her kids."

The former couple, married in 2006, shares two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15.

Following their separation in June 2025, Kidman reportedly tried to save the marriage, but Urban chose to end it.

Court documents obtained by People Magazine show that "The Perfect Couple" actress and the country music star have waived all child and spousal support and are responsible for their own legal fees.

The parenting plan emphasizes cooperation, requiring both parents to "provide a loving, stable, consistent, and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced."

In November, 2025, a source told People that Faith and Sunday are adjusting to dividing their time between both parents as the family settles into a new chapter following their divorce.

Under their parenting agreement, the girls primarily live with Kidman, who has them for 306 days each year, while Urban spends 59 days with them, including alternating weekends.

Both parents maintain joint responsibility when it comes to major decisions affecting their daughters' lives.

Since the split, Kidman has embraced quality time with her girls. On January 2, she marked the start of the new year by posting a photo to her Instagram Stories that appeared to be taken on New Year's Eve.

The image showed the trio from behind with their arms wrapped around one another as they looked out over the water in Sydney, fireworks lighting up the sky.

Professionally, the "Babygirl" actress has a packed year ahead. She will return to the big screen in September with the sequel to her 1998 hit "Practical Magic" alongside Sandra Bullock.

On television, she will appear in Prime Video's "Scarpetta" with Jamie Lee Curtis, Apple TV's "Margo's Got Money Troubles" with Elle Fanning, and Season 3 of Paramount+'s "Lioness" with Zoe Saldaña.

Additionally, she is developing series adaptations of "Girls and Their Horses" and "Discretion," and is planning a third season of "Big Little Lies."

After news of her split from Urban was made public, Kidman reflected on her journey in an October interview with Harper's Bazaar.

The actress spoke candidly about resilience and personal growth. She said the best part of aging is the "experiences that you've accumulated," adding that "no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is, there is a way through."

"You're not going to be able to numb it," Kidman noted. "You are going to have to feel it, and it's going to feel insurmountable at times. You're going to feel like you're broken. But if you move gently and slowly — and it can take an enormous amount of time — it does pass."
