Nicole Kidman's suitor who has become news (before the first date)
The 57-year-old actress divorced in September after 19 years of marriage and has already begun to receive offers from gentlemen who are interested in having romantic dates with her
BarcelonaIt is not difficult to understand that the fact that an icon like Nicole Kidman is single depends solely on her will. Anyone can easily get an idea that in the Hollywood circles she moves in, someone with her talent, beauty, and media position has no shortage of suitors. That is why, while at the end of September 2025 we wrote the news that after 20 years she had separated from Keith Urban we were all already thinking about the flood of news we would write shortly about her future relationships, material that American paparazzi and the media that sponsor them surely could not resist. And neither could we.
The time has come. Just a month after the actress and her ex signed a divorce agreement, we already have the first candidate to occupy the heart of the Australian, who is currently 57 years old. The amusing thing about all this is that on this occasion – and against all tradition in the world of celebrity gossip of all time – we have not been informed that the artist has started seeing someone else. In fact, she is as she was. The news puts her in the headline, but she has done nothing! This time, what the specialized media in North American "celebrity" have begun to spread is that there is a gentleman who is after her. See how interesting this great lady of Hollywood is, that without her even taking any action in this regard, the information has already begun to circulate on both sides of the Atlantic.
The protagonist of the news, with Kidman's permission, is a gentleman four years younger than her named Paul Salem, a senior executive from Las Vegas who has friends in common with the actress. So far, there would be nothing out of the ordinary, as we can imagine the enormous number of people with whom she has friends in common... According to the website "TMZ", the Las Vegas gentleman and the star of "Eyes Wide Shut" have been together – in a group! – a couple of times and he has already told his poor friends in common – I don't want to imagine the "pressure they will receive from now on... – that he is very interested in maintaining a relationship much more than acquaintances with the actress.
Mai s'han vist en privat
This portal has also specified that at the moment they have not had any romantic date, but he is very interested in this happening. "LOL". And half of the single men in the world too... Perhaps letting this information leak to the media is a way for him to promote himself as a publicly relevant figure, or simply a way to get the message to Kidman, who may not have read the "WhatsApp messages" from her "friends" in common. I don't know about you, but to me, the fact that messages are made public in an unclear way suggests an origin that is called an interested leak. Perhaps it was Mr. Salem, who explained it to some journalist to use the public megaphone – like thenarcissistic Norwegian skier who publicly confessed infidelity after winning a bronze to see if he would be forgiven – to see if he can change her mind, who may have already told him that she doesn't want to see him in private.
Since 2020, the executive has held the position of president of the board of directors of MGM Resorts International. This business group, headquartered in the southern part of Las Vegas, in the airport district, manages a juicy list of luxury hotels and also shows. To give some examples, the hotels it owns in Sin City are the iconic Bellagio and Mandalay Bay, along with other luxury names. The live shows managed by his group include Cirque du Soleil or artists like Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, who collaborate with him for their residencies in Las Vegas.
8 children in total
The Las Vegas gentleman does not seem to have had Kidman's luck in finding a partner, as he has been separated since 2021, when he broke up with his wife, with whom he had four daughters. In this, he coincides with the actress, who has had two children with each of her two ex-husbands. She adopted two with Tom Cruise with whom she currently has no relationship, a topic on which there is broad consensus in the press of her country and about which she never speaks. She had two more, two biological daughters, with Keith Urban. In fact, they have been the protagonists of the divorce agreement that the actress and the country singer signed at the beginning of the year.
The daughters of the late marriage are Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, aged 16 and 20, respectively. Since both he and she are rich, the divorce negotiations did not take long, which was surely also contributed to by the fact that their daughters are no longer exactly children. The agreement states that both will spend most of the year at their mother's house, but 59 days a year they will spend with their father, who will also have alternate weekends. The couple, who do not divide their time equally, have specified in the document that they share responsibility 50% in the upbringing of their two daughters. That is, decisions related to their education and all important decisions related to their life and health will be made jointly.
A cadascú el que li tocava
It was also not difficult for them to divide the immense real estate assets they had acquired during the 20 years they have been together. According to various media, it was 240 million euros. The good thing is that when they were married, each bought the properties they wanted and put them in their name. Thus, the division was already made when the time for goodbyes came. Kidman, who did not divorce because she wanted to – but because it was revealed that he had fallen in love with another younger woman... – has been able to turn the page with relative ease, both from a media and legal point of view.
On top of that, life has currently placed her at a point of professional consecration where she is valued as an actress but also as a producer. The actress stars in the Prime Video series "Scarpetta", where she shares the cast with Jamie Lee Curtis. She can also be seen in "Margo is having money problems" (Apple TV) and in "Lioness", available on SkyShowtime. In her role as a producer, it has recently been known that she has plans to bring the book "Girls and their horses" and the short story "Discretion" to the small screen. All this in addition to a possible return of "Big Little Lies... I don't know for what strange reason at this point in her life and having been burned as she has by her previous relationships, she would have to give in to the will of simulating a "First Dates" with Mr. Salem just to make him happy...
