The difference is, back then, Simon wasn\u2019t single.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeith is hoping they\u2019re just hamming it up for headlines, but even then, it feels to him like it\u2019s a betrayal because both Nicole and Simon know how much even the hint of a romance between them will hurt him. He already suspected they were getting close while filming. This has become his worst nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kidman and Baker have known each other for decades. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe hates that they\u2019re giving interviews about how close they are,\u201d our insider adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s in total shock that she would flaunt a new relationship so soon after their divorce. It\u2019s not what they agreed on for the sake of the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimon poses a real threat to Keith because the girls absolutely adore him,\u201d added the insider.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kidman broke her silence about her split last week during an interview with <a class=\"body-link\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a>, where she said that she\u2019s happy to be \u201cmoving forward\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always going to be moving forward towards what\u2019s good,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward. That\u2019s that. Everything else I don\u2019t discuss out of respect. I am staying in a place of, \u2018We are a family,\u2019 and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the interview, the reporter asked Kidman if 2026 would be her year, while joking that \u201cevery year is probably the year of Nicole Kidman\u201d given her wildly successful career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, not last year. I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell,\u201d she revealed. \u201cNow I\u2019m in a place of saying, \u20182026. Here we go.\u2019 I have [the sequel to] Practical Magic with Sandy [Bullock]. I\u2019ll be in full witch mode.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keith Urban has reportedly been left in shock after seeing Nicole Kidman flirt up a storm with her&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-335628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
