EXCLUSIVE 
 
Portofino, ITALY  -   18 JULY 2026

Nicole Kidman shares a farewell with a mystery man outside the suite of her Italian Hotel during Nicole's Italian Riviera holiday in Portofino.    The 58-year-old actress, who, along with country music singer Keith Urban, had finalised their divorce back in January 2026 after 19 years of marriage.    Dressed in a satin slip dress, Nicole enjoyed a rather friendly conversation with the mystery man, who was then seen peering through Nicole's window grates.  ****

It's unclear what time it was, but Kidman was wearing a champagne silky slip tank top with a matching skirt that perfectly matched the dreamy Italian architecture. The Moulin Rouge star looked relaxed as the two lingered in conversation on the terrace.

The photos look straight out of a Nora Ephron movie with the businessman leaning against the brick wall, flashing a giant smile as Kidman rested her arms on the railing with the wind blowing through her famous red locks.

They were in no rush to say goodbye, with the Mediterranean sun pouring over them and the historic building. The photos looked like they were filming Kidman's next romantic comedy.

In other pictures shared by Page Six, he puts his hand through the window grates of Kidman's suite as he walked away. While it seemed like there were butterflies, it's unclear what the nature of their relationship is.

The Italian getaway comes just months after Kidman and Keith Urban officially finalized their divorce following 19 years of marriage.

Who is Michael Reinstein?

Reinstein might not be a Hollywood A-lister; he's a regular in the business world. From his resume, he's super successful, educated, and has experience in entertainment. 

The Los Angeles native is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Regent, a Beverly Hills-based global private equity firm he launched in 2013. Reinstein has built a portfolio spanning fashion, media, retail, consumer products, and industrial companies. 

According to the Regent website, they oversee acquisitions of brands like Escada, La Senza, Club Monaco, Sunset magazine, Defense News, Army Times, and Lillian Vernon, among others. 

Before founding Regent, Reinstein worked at Hollywood talent agency ICM Partners and even spent time as a junior staffer in the office of former President Ronald Reagan. 

He's also a trained attorney, earning his law degree from Pepperdine University after graduating from the University of Southern California, and is a member of the California State Bar. 

Earlier in his career, Reinstein co-founded the USN television network, which expanded to more than 30 million homes before it was sold. He has also served as CEO of The Franklin Mint and the digital entertainment platform CinemaNow. 

Outside of business, Reinstein founded the Military Charity Organization, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that honors U.S. service members through its Service Members of the Year program. He had over 46k followers on his Instagram page, which has since been deactivated. 

Keith Urban's love life

Keith and his guitarist got a lot of hate because of the rumors

As for Urban, he was making messy headlines last year right after the divorce from his guitarist Maggie Baugh. 

The rumors gained traction after he changed the lyrics to a song he wrote about Kidman, using her name instead. The lyric change went viral, and they were both slammed online, but fellow country singer Alexandra Kay later publicly defended Baugh, insisting there was never a romantic relationship between the two.

Then there were rumors that he had moved in with a 19-year-old country singer named Karley Scott Collins in January 2026. But the singer shut them down herself, calling them ridiculous.

How the divorce ended

The divorce followed reports that the pair had quietly separated months earlier. Sources claimed Kidman had hoped to save the marriage before ultimately filing for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Court documents filed in Nashville in January 2026 confirmed the former couple reached an amicable settlement.

Neither Kidman nor Urban will pay alimony or spousal support, and they also waived monthly child support. The agreement grants Kidman primary custody of daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, who will spend the majority of the year with their mother, while Urban will have parenting time every other weekend
