Academy Award-winning Australian-American actress and producer Nicole Kidman is currently dating American private equity businessman Michael Reinstein.
Reinstein, who was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1971 (according to Famous Birthdays), making him either 54 or 55, was first photographed with Kidman outside a hotel in Portofino, Italy, on July 18 this year. The pair were then seen getting cosy on sun loungers around a week later. That immediately made it clear Reinstein was a love interest of the “Lioness” and “Scarpetta” star.
Kidman, 59, split from Australian-American country singer Keith Urban, 58, around a year ago, after 20 years of marriage. Reinstein is the first person the actress has been romantically linked to (at least publicly) since the separation occurred.
Sources close to Kidman have revealed the full nature of the relationship to Us Magazine.
Nicole Kidman & Michael Reinstein Were Set Up by Mutual Friends
A source close to Nicole Kidman told Us Magazine, “Nicole is dating again after her divorce from Keith and has been seeing businessman Michael Reinstein.”
The unnamed source then added, “It is casual, and she is having fun. They were set up by mutual friends. She has also been on several dates with other people, and her friends are always trying to set her up.”
Kidman’s current relationship with Keith Urban was also touched upon by the source — and it seems the pair are now on good terms with each other following their split.
After saying the “dust has really settled” and that the pair are “in a much better place now,” the sourced elaborated, saying, “There’s still a lot of respect between them despite everything they went through.”
That’s good to know. It’s never nice when exes aren’t on good terms — especially when it’s two people who are constantly in the public eye.
Whether or not Kidman’s new relationship will lead to anything serious remains to be seen, but it’s nice that she’s enjoying herself for now.
