Nicole Kidman continues her relentless pace in Hollywood, securing nine film and TV roles over the past 18 months following her divorce from Keith Urban. The 58-year-old actress recently captivated audiences at the New York premiere of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, donning a daring sheer Schiaparelli gown. She shared the red carpet with co-star Elle Fanning, 28, ahead of the comedy’s debut on Apple TV+ next week.
Recent and Upcoming Projects
Kidman’s 2024 highlights include the steamy thriller Babygirl alongside Harris Dickinson and the animated feature Spellbound. The prior year brought roles in the psychological drama Holland, Netflix’s hit series The Perfect Couple with Liev Schreiber, and the crime drama Scarpetta.
Four more projects loom on the horizon: Girls and Their Horses, Discretion, The Young People, and Practical Magic 2. Her packed slate signals no signs of slowing down.
Marriage Breakdown Linked to Schedule
Kidman’s intense workload contributed significantly to the dissolution of her 19-year marriage to country star Keith Urban, also 58. The couple announced their split in September, with the divorce finalized in January.
Urban reportedly confronted Kidman about her frequent unavailability during a gathering with friends. The pair share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, who now live primarily with their mother in her multimillion-dollar Nashville, Tennessee home. Kidman appeared blindsided by the separation.
Fresh Romance Speculation
Last month, rumors surfaced linking Kidman romantically to her Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker, 58. The duo appeared affectionate, holding hands on the red carpet at the show’s premiere.
Kidman described their on-screen connection: “Our chemistry just vibrates.” Baker, known for The Devil Wears Prada, demurred with, “I don’t kiss and tell.”
Baker’s ex-wife, actress Rebecca Rigg—a longtime childhood friend of Kidman’s—expressed shock and confusion over the whispers. Meanwhile, a close friend of Kidman and Urban revealed the singer feels deeply hurt, viewing the speculation as a personal betrayal.
