Nicole Kidman's New Chapter

Is Nicole Kidman embarking on a new romantic journey? Recent tabloid reports suggest that the actress is moving forward after her divorce from singer Keith Urban, which was finalized in January 2026. She has been spotted with her Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker, with the two seen holding hands at a red carpet event.

Kidman and Urban had reportedly been living separately since early summer 2025, and the Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce after nearly two decades of marriage in September 2025. In the Amazon Prime Video thriller Scarpetta, Kidman and Baker portray a married couple, and the series has already been renewed for a second season.

Are They More Than Friends?

Are Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker Dating?

As reported by The Sun, the duo was seen getting cozy at an afterparty following the premiere in New York City. Kidman takes on the role of Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the lead medical examiner, while Baker plays her husband, Benton Wesley, an FBI profiler.

Sources indicate that their on-screen chemistry is genuine, but another report from Page Six disputes these claims, labeling them as "absolutely false." Kidman and Baker, both Australians, have been friends for years, with Kidman even serving as the godmother to Baker’s son from his previous marriage to Rebecca Rigg, from whom he divorced in 2020. Filming for Scarpetta Season 2 is currently taking place in Nashville, Kidman's hometown, with a potential release in early 2027. The series is based on Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta novels, of which there are 29, but only two have been adapted so far.
