Nicole Kidman‘s rumored new romance reportedly brought an unexpected sense of relief to ex-husband Keith Urban. An insider has claimed the country singer now feels more comfortable about moving forward publicly with his own personal life. The claims come after photos emerged showing Kidman spending time with private equity investor Michael Reinstein during a trip to Italy.

According to the source, Urban spent months deliberately keeping his dating life out of the spotlight, but believes that could soon change. On July 24, Page Six published photos of Nicole Kidman relaxing poolside with Michael Reinstein in Portofino, Italy. The outlet also reported that photographers spotted the pair together at a hotel a day earlier. This fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship.
According to an insider who spoke to the National Enquirer, people close to Kidman and Reinstein were not surprised by the photos. “Among their friends, it’s common knowledge they’ve both been moving on in their own ways,” the source claimed. “They’d just been very stealthy about it.”
Neither Kidman nor Reinstein has publicly commented on the speculation surrounding the photos.
The insider claimed Urban took extensive steps to ensure his own relationships remain out of public view. Reportedly, the singer avoided meeting dates in public and even required potential partners to sign non-disclosure agreements. He took these steps to protect his privacy.
“It’s become this cat-and-mouse game because Keith does not want to be the one who goes public with someone before Nicole does,” the source alleged.
The insider added that Urban became especially cautious after facing criticism over reports linking him to several younger women following his reported split from Kidman in September.
“He took such a beating… It’s no wonder he’s been afraid to let anything about his private life get out,” the source said.
