Nicole Kidman is still finding her footing after the end of her 19-year marriage to Keith Urban, and those closest to her say the adjustment has been quietly brutal. Two months on, Kidman remains booked, busy, and professionally unstoppable. She was recently named a co-chair of this year’s Met Gala, alongside Anna Wintour, Beyoncé, and Venus Williams. But friends say the public success hasn’t made the private loss any easier.

In a recent interview, Kidman alluded to a period she described as “painful,” admitting she felt “broken.” According to those in her inner circle, that was real grief. “Nicole built her entire adult life around the belief that her marriage was permanent,” one source said. “When it suddenly unraveled, it wasn’t just the relationship that fell apart – it forced her to question who she was without it and to rethink every assumption she’d made about her future.”
As Kidman takes time to rethink her life, her friends are encouraging her to focus on one simple thing: finding joy without pressure. “Among women in her orbit, there’s an unspoken understanding that dating younger, low-profile men offers freedom without complication,” a source explained. “Nicole’s friends have been nudging her toward that idea, telling her she’s earned the right to excitement that doesn’t come with emotional demands,” the source added.
One name, insiders say, surfaces more than any other: Zac Efron. Kidman and Efron have a history, professionally. They starred together in A Family Affair and earlier in The Paperboy. “There was an ease between them that didn’t feel forced or manufactured,” one insider said.
They added, “At the time, Nicole was fully committed to her marriage, so it went no further, but it certainly didn’t go unnoticed how naturally they clicked.”
Since his 2021 split from model Vanessa Valladares, Efron has kept his personal life largely out of the spotlight. He previously dated Vanessa Hudgens and Lily Collins, but friends describe him as reserved, even shy, away from cameras. The source said, “Nicole has no appetite for a highly visible romance at this stage. What she wants is to feel attractive and alive again, without scrutiny, and Zac’s long experience of fame means she trusts him to handle any personal connection with discretion.”
