John Travolta may be quietly stepping back into the dating world—and insiders say Nicole Kidman is at the center of the buzz.
Six years after the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Kelly Preston, sources claim the Hollywood icon is finally open to the idea of romance again. While he has spent recent years focused on healing and raising his two younger children, friends say he’s now cautiously considering what a new chapter could look like—and that chapter may include a very familiar A-list name.
According to insiders, Travolta and Kidman have recently reconnected and have been speaking frequently following her split from Keith Urban. The two share decades of Hollywood history and once moved in overlapping circles when Kidman was married to Tom Cruise. Though they reportedly lost touch for a time, sources say their renewed connection has been meaningful—and noticeable.

“John lights up after talking to Nicole,” one insider revealed, adding that those close to him are beginning to wonder if the friendship could evolve into something deeper. While Travolta has reportedly insisted they’re just friends, people in his orbit say the chemistry is undeniable. Both stars understand the intense public scrutiny that comes with high-profile relationships, and that shared experience has strengthened their bond.
For now, neither camp has confirmed anything romantic. But as two seasoned stars navigating life after long marriages, the idea of Travolta and Kidman finding comfort—and possibly love—with each other has Hollywood watching closely. Whether it turns into a romance or remains a close friendship, one thing is certain: this unexpected pairing has everyone talking.
