Nicole Kidman & Simon Baker's New Romance Rumors

Nicole Kidman and her Scarpetta co-star Simon Baker are sparking romance rumors after getting cozy at the show's New York premiere earlier this month. The two play a merry couple in the new Amazon Prime series, and Insiders say their on-screen chemistry is spilling over into real life. Nicole 58 and Simon 56 were spotted holding hands and smiling all night on March 3rd. Adding fuel to the fire, Nicole split from her husband Keith Urban last September after nearly two decades together. The divorce came quick, with her filing just a day after it went public, citing irreconcilable differences tied to busy work schedules. Now, Keith, also 58, is reportedly struggling to watch her move on so fast. Keith feels especially hurt because he knows Simon well from Hollywood Circles. Sources close to him say, seeing Nicole lean on Simon at the event hit hard, like losing a close friend to his ex. He had hoped their hand-holding was just promo hype for the show,

She's even Godmother to Simon's kids, along with Naomi, and stays tight with his ex-wife Rebecca Rig, who split from Simon in 2020. Naomi reportedly nudged Nicole to consider dating him or cast him in Scarpetta. For now, Nicole seems cautious, not wanting to risk those long-standing bonds. Keith is bracing for whatever comes next, hoping it's all just friendly fun while the series builds buzz. Fans are watching closely as the drama unfolds off screen.
