Media: Nicole Kidman sparks new romance rumors
A friendly conversation — or something more?
Following her recent divorce, Nicole Kidman’s personal life has once again become a hot topic in the media. While Western tabloids have linked the Hollywood actress to new romances before, this time there may be more than just speculation. Kidman has been photographed in the company of American businessman Michael Rheinstein.

According to Page Six, the 59-year-old Oscar-winning actress was spotted by paparazzi while vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
Kidman spent time by the pool of a local hotel with the private investor. The pair relaxed on sun loungers, enjoyed glasses of Aperol, laughed frequently, chatted animatedly, and appeared completely at ease in each other’s company.

Although there has been no official confirmation of a romantic relationship, Western media outlets have already begun referring to Michael Rheinstein as the actress’s possible new partner.
The businessman is originally from Los Angeles, works in private equity, founded his own investment firm, and is also a co-founder of the USN television network.

Interestingly, earlier this spring tabloids also speculated that the Oscar-winning actress was romantically involved with her longtime friend and colleague, Australian actor Simon Baker, who is also the godfather of one of Kidman’s children.
As a reminder, Nicole Kidman officially divorced country singer Keith Urban in January this year after twenty years of marriage.
