[Credit: Instagram] Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s recent divorce is already generating new headlines, with rumors linking the Oscar-winning actress to a wealthy business executive. The speculation surfaced only weeks after the couple officially ended their 19-year marriage, and reports suggest the attention has left Urban unsettled.

The pair share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, and the settlement reportedly established a co-parenting arrangement following their split. Court filings cited irreconcilable differences, and early reports described the separation as amicable.

According to entertainment reports, Salem has expressed interest in the actress, though sources say the two have only interacted in group settings and are not currently dating. Despite that clarification, the speculation has quickly circulated across entertainment media.

Kidman has largely remained silent about both the split and the reports about her personal life, focusing instead on family and upcoming film projects, including the planned Practical Magic sequel with Sandra Bullock. For now, any talk of a new relationship remains unconfirmed.
