Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban 'planned secret meeting in Paris' as insiders claim exes are quietly 'rebuilding' a friendship for the sake of their daughters

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are said to be taking steps towards repairing their relationship for the sake of their two daughters, with rumours claiming the exes may have recently caught up in Paris where the actress was celebrating her birthday. 

According to Woman's Day, the Hollywood star, 59, and the country music singer, 58, have resumed regular communication after months of speculation surrounding their marriage.

The pair agreed to meet privately, with a reunion said to centre on building a friendship and co-parenting daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15. 

The report suggested recent public displays of support on social media have helped thaw tensions between the pair after a difficult period following their shock split last year.

Keith shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to Nicole last week, while she acknowledged him on Father's Day by posting a photo of him and their girls on Instagram. 

'They've tentatively agreed to meet in private and to get back to the job of parenting the girls together,' one source told the magazine.

According to the source, the pair have gradually shifted from limited communication to rebuilding a friendship, which has made discussions between them much easier in recent weeks.

'They're finding it so much easier to build up a supportive friendship between them,' the insider said.

Woman's Day also claimed that while Nicole has quietly returned to dating, she is keeping any potential romances firmly out of the public eye.

According to Deuxmoi, the Aussie star has reportedly been enjoying a secret romance for months with a 'high-profile businessman'.

'We're told the relationship has been quietly developing for the past few months and the pair have been keeping things extremely low-key and largely out of the public eye,' a source told the publication earlier this month.

Nicole and Keith separated in September 2025 after nearly 20 years of marriage.

Their divorce was finalised by a judge in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 6.

Earlier this year, it was reported the Oscar winner was being romantically pursued by Paul Salem, 62, the Chairman of the Board of MGM Resorts International.

The publication reported Nicole and Paul share mutual friends, are acquaintances, and have met twice in group settings.

TMZ went on to clarify they were not dating at the time.

Salem and his ex-wife, Navyn Salem, divorced in 2021 and share four daughters.

He joined the MGM Board of Directors in 2018 and rose to Chairman in 2020.

He spent nearly three decades as a top executive at the powerhouse firm Providence Equity, which oversees a staggering $50 billion portfolio.

Salem is also one of the owners of the Worcester Red Sox.

He holds a B.A. from Brown University and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
