Who is she dating?

After a divorce, both sides move on. Or at least, they try. That’s the normal way of things. However, sometimes, when that happens, things start looking clearer for the person who decided to end the marriage in the first place. And that seems to be what’s happening to Keith Urban after Nicole Kidman has seemingly moved on after their divorce.

The reports indicate that it was Urban who decided to end the marriage, and Kidman who wanted to work on it. So, it should come as no surprise that now Urban is the one having second thoughts. Especially as celebrity gossip site Deux Moi reported that Kidman was now dating a “high profile entertainment executive.”

No name was given, but a couple of months ago, Woman’s Day reported that billionaire businessman Paul Salem, 62, who is Chairman of the Board at MGM Resorts International, was interested in Kidman. The two reportedly move in the same social circles, though at the time Kidman was reportedly not interested in a new romance.

But now? “We’re told the relationship has been quietly developing for the past few months and the pair have been keeping things extremely low-key and largely out of the public eye,” Deux Moi reported.

And Woman’s Day is reporting it is indeed Salem whom Kidman is dating, and that close friend Reese Witherspoon had a lot to do with it.

“Reese has been a big factor in helping Nicole regain her confidence and embrace this new chapter. It’s no secret she had the wind knocked out of her sails at the time of her divorce, but the friendship and support she’s had from her circle of friends has been immense, and she openly credits Reese with being a total rock at the very top of that support system,” the source explained.

It all, reportedly, hasn’t been easy for Urban. “Obviously, he’s had plenty of time to process the fact that he and Nicole are fully done and there’s no turning back the clock for their own romantic story. But the actuality of seeing her move on with someone else – or knowing it’s going on — still cuts pretty deep and serves as a brutal reminder that he’s ancient history in her eyes, at least romantically,” the insider said.

“His ego has taken a bit of a knock, in other words, but he’s super busy with work and right now that’s his best therapy by far. His friends are certain that in time he’ll bounce back and get over it.”

It all comes after Woman’s Day previously reported that Kidman and Urban’s youngest daughter, Faith Margaret, was “furious” with her sister, Sunday Rose, after Sunday made her feelings about her father pretty clear by unfollowing (and later refollowing) Urban on Instagram.

“Faith was always a bit of a daddy’s girl and she’s missing him being in her world 24/7,” a source told the outlet. “She doesn’t like all this conflict and feeling like she has to take sides. She was furious that Sunday would take such a public step.”

The Real Reason Tom Cruise Reached Out to a ‘Lost’ Keith Urban Amid Daughters’ Fight Over Nicole Kidman Divorce

Hollywood often produces some of the most unexpected connections, and the latest involving Tom Cruise and Keith Urban is particularly surprising.

According to a June 12 report from Heat World, sources claimed that Cruise has reached out to the country musician following Urban’s recent divorce from Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman.

“It’s no secret he’s said some pretty harsh things about Keith over the years, but Tom has softened a lot and now he says he just feels sorry for Keith,” a source told the outlet. “It reminds him so much of what he went through when he and Nicole split all those years ago, he says he feels this sense of duty to help the guy out because he’s the only person in the world who can truly know what he’s going through right now.”

Cruise and Kidman were married from December 1990 until their highly-publicized divorce in 2001. Kidman later married Urban in 2006, and their recent split has attracted similar media attention.

“To hear his side of things, the goal is to give Keith a friendly man-to-man pep talk and tell him to hang in there, whilst suggesting certain tools or coping methods that will alleviate his stress and loneliness right now,” the source continued.

Though Cruise has now extended an olive branch, he hasn’t always been kind toward Urban. In fact, the Top Gun star reportedly once viewed Urban as a “hillbilly crooner who wasn’t good enough for Nicole.” However, the recent scrutiny Urban has faced has apparently prompted Cruise to defend him.

“He’s convinced Keith is being far too dignified and getting crucified because of it,” the insider said. “In Tom’s view, this has become a war of narratives and he says Keith would do well to stand up for himself now before he loses the battle completely.”

Urban has reportedly struggled with the aftermath of his and Kidman’s divorce. In June 2026, insiders told Woman’s Day that Urban’s been feeling “lost” since the breakup.

He made his first post-divorce public appearance at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 17, and a separate source claimed he “didn’t look comfortable at all.”

“His smile didn’t meet his eyes this time – it’s clear he was a little lost without his former ‘other half,'” they added.

Urban is also likely having a hard time being apart from his daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, who spend most of their time with Kidman under their custody agreement. But per a June 2 report from Woman’s Day, there seems to be tension between the girls amid the divorce.

As it turns out, Faith was allegedly “furious” with Sunday for unfollowing (and later refollowing) Urban on Instagram. “Faith was always a bit of a daddy’s girl and she’s missing him being in her world 24/7,” the source explained. “She doesn’t like all this conflict and feeling like she has to take sides. She was furious that Sunday would take such a public step.”

The source further noted that Urban and Kidman’s divorce has left Faith shattered and feeling caught in the middle. “Poor Faith is confused by how two people can go from being loving and supportive for years to where things are now,” they said. “She knows her mum needs her right now, but she’s also worried about her dad, who doesn’t have the same support network around him Nicole does.”
