Nicole Kidman\u2019s explicit onscreen love scenes were one of the major dealbreakers in her marriage to Keith Urban, sources tell Globe.<\/p>\n

But now the Babygirl star, 58, is leaning into her sensual side and looking forward to getting her cougar on with more projects like Practical Magic 2 and the upcoming Big Little Lies season 3, sources say.<\/p>\n

And insiders say she\u2019s relishing rubbing her 58-year-old Aussie ex\u2019s face in all her new va-va-voom roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeith made it clear he wasn\u2019t comfortable with the sexual side of her projects, even if he never said outright she should stop working,\u201d an insider says. \u201cHe worried about how it looked, and he hated the idea of other men touching her, even if it was acting. Nicole kept trying to reassure him, but it got exhausting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although she didn\u2019t want a divorce, she has a huge sense of relief that she no longer has to tiptoe around Keith\u2019s feelings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer close friends all saw the toll it took on her and they\u2019re quietly rejoicing she\u2019s finally free of him,\u201d says a source. \u201cThey want to see her fully step into her power. The fact that she\u2019s still playing complex, sensual women in her 50s is something to be celebrated and she needs a partner who recognizes that and is man enough to handle it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As her 19-year marriage was ending, her team sent a loud and clear message to industry colleagues \u2014 Nicole would be continuing to make boundary-pushing movies and series and was still open to risqu\u00e9 roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis approach is working for her and she\u2019s not going to let anybody rain on her parade or stop her from using her voice and her body in unexpected ways,\u201d says the insider.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anything, the end of her marriage to Keith means there are even fewer limits on what she is willing to do for the sake of a juicy role, and she still wants nothing more than to keep topping herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to our insider, \u201cKnowing Nicole, the projects she picks going forward are going to push the boundaries even more, and without Keith holding her back, she can be as bold as she wants to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
