Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman took a break from the fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle and headed to Iceland.

The star shared a series of atmospheric photos on social media, giving her followers a glimpse into her Icelandic getaway.

The 59-year-old actress was joined by her younger sister, Antonia Kidman, a journalist and television presenter.

Judging by the photos, Kidman opted for more than a typical tourist itinerary, choosing instead a luxurious cruise aboard a yacht from the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection.

In one of the photos, Nicole poses on the yacht’s deck, while another shows the actress relaxing in a hot tub overlooking the cold waters of the Icelandic coast. Her photo collection also features scenic walks and breathtaking landscapes.

«The trip of a lifetime», the actress captioned her Icelandic adventure.

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.

The auction house Christie’s sold more than $1.1 billion worth of artworks in a single evening in New York. During the auction, new records were set for works by Jackson Pollock, Constantin Brâncuși, and Mark Rothko.

The central highlight of the sale was the offering of 16 works from the collection of the late media magnate S.I. Newhouse — owner of Condé Nast and a vast network of American media outlets.

For the promotional campaign, Christie’s enlisted Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman for the first time. She appeared in a video featuring Brâncuși’s sculpture “Danaïde”, inspired by the surrealist films of Man Ray from the 1930s.

Hollywood actress and Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman has revealed that she intends to pursue a new professional path – becoming a death doula. She shared this during a talk at the University of San Francisco, noting that she has already started her training.

Death doulas support people in the terminal stage of illness, helping them and their loved ones cope with fear, anxiety, and emotional distress. Unlike medical professionals, they focus primarily on psychological and spiritual support.

According to Kidman, the decision was prompted by a personal tragedy – the death of her mother in 2024. The actress admitted that in her final days, her mother often felt lonely, and despite their desire to help, the family could not be constantly by her side. This experience led her to reflect on the importance of support at the end of life.

She emphasized that she does not see this new direction as a passing interest, but rather as part of her personal growth and a way to help people during the most difficult moments of their lives.

Kidman is not the only figure in the film industry to take an interest in this field. Director Chloé Zhao has previously spoken about a similar experience, explaining it as a way to overcome the fear of death and develop a healthier attitude toward it.

The series itself is based on the novel by Rufi Thorpe and tells the complex story of Margo Millet. After a relationship with her professor, she becomes a mother and attempts to achieve financial independence through the platform OnlyFans.

Nicole Kidman has become the cover star of the latest issue of Variety. The actress graces the magazine’s cover and took part in an elegant photo shoot photographed by Chilean-Canadian photographer Nino Muñoz.

On the cover, Kidman appears in a semi-sheer floral-embroidered dress by Chanel.

The other images are equally striking, with the actress posing in couture looks from Schiaparelli, Christian Louboutin, Carolina Herrera, Gianvito Rossi, and Brunello Cucinelli. The outfits for the shoot were selected by American entrepreneur, creative director, and fashion stylist Jason Bolden.

Particular attention was drawn to a shot in which the actress poses wearing only a white shirt – her long, slender legs were simply impossible to hide. Without a doubt, Kidman looks magnificent at 58.

Alongside the photo spread, the magazine also published an interview in which the actress commented for the first time on her recent divorce from Keith Urban. Nicole emphasized that she respects personal boundaries and has no intention of discussing the details of the split.

«I’m grateful for my family, for being able to keep it just as it is and move forward. And that’s all. The rest I don’t discuss out of respect. I remain in the position: «We are a family», and that will continue to be the case».

For context, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban in September last year after 19 years of marriage. The couple married in June 2006 and share two teenage daughters – 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret.
