On September 3, 2026, Us Weekly reported, citing a source, that Nicole Kidman is dating again after her divorce and is seeing a businessman Michael Reinstein. The source described the relationship as "casual" and said Kidman is "having fun," and that her friends are also introducing her to other men. The same source stated that the relationship between Kidman and Keith Urban after the divorce has become calmer and mutual respect remains.
Nicole Kidman is "having fun" in a "casual" relationship with private investor Michael Reinstein: the couple was first spotted in July in Portofino, drinking Aperol spritz by the pool of the Belmond Splendido hotel, laughing and sitting close on loungers.
The divorce from Keith Urban was finalized in January of 2026 after 19 years of marriage. By that point, the dust had already settled: according to an insider, the exes are "in a much better place," and Kidman has "already been on several dates with other people." Friends are allegedly constantly trying to set her up.
The rumors are not coincidental. They appeared exactly one year after the final divorce and one month after Kidman stated in an interview with British Vogue that she "embraces love." An anonymous source from the actress's circle gives exactly the version that benefits her: the relationship is light, non-committal, and she remains desirable and open.
For a Hollywood star at 59, such a narrative works as insurance. The public likes to see that a woman after a long marriage hasn't "fallen apart" but continues to live. At the same time, it reduces pressure: if everything is "casual," then there will be no failure if the relationship ends quickly. Reinstein is a successful but not public person, the founder of the private equity firm Regent. An ideal figure for a controlled return to the social chronicle.
Kidman herself, apparently, now considers it important to maintain the right to privacy. She does not comment on photos from Italy, does not give joint interviews, and does not pose on red carpets with her new companion. This is a classic move: to leak the story so that it exists but does not turn into an official release.
In the end, the rumors about Reinstein say less about a new romance and more about how Kidman is rebuilding her public image after nearly two decades in the status of "half of a couple." She is making it clear: life goes on, but on her terms.
