Nicole Kidman appears to be on the upswing following her recent divorce from Keith Urban. Reports suggest she has been leaning on old friend and co-star Russell Crowe during this challenging time. According to sources from OK! Magazine, Crowe has taken on the role of a supportive confidant, offering Kidman the kind of pragmatic and heartfelt guidance that comes from his own experiences of heartbreak.
A friend of Crowe’s remarked on his willingness to help, saying, “He understands exactly how devastating it is when a long marriage ends. He’s lived through that heartbreak himself, so when Nicole leaned on him, he didn’t hesitate. People think he’s all hard edges, but with her, he’s showing a much softer side.”
The connection between the two actors has been reinforced through daily check-ins, ensuring that Kidman doesn’t isolate herself. “They caught up over coffee not long ago, and you could see he was trying to lift her spirits. He’s hardly the warm and fuzzy type, but he’s fiercely loyal to the people he considers his own,” noted another insider.
Kidman and Crowe previously shared the screen in the drama “Boy Erased” and collaborated at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts, where Crowe held the position of president and Kidman served as vice president. Their friendship has also included lighter moments, such as when Crowe referred to Kidman as “one of his favorite people in the world” after they fortuitously ended up sitting next to each other on a flight to Australia in 2019.
Amidst these developments, Urban has reportedly reestablished contact with another notable figure: Jennifer Lopez. Sources indicate that Lopez reached out to him soon after learning about his split with Kidman, wanting to offer her support. “A lot of people did that for her when she and Ben broke up and it meant everything to her,” an insider shared.
Lopez’s kindness has resonated with Urban, who has felt the sting of some friends choosing to side with Kidman during this tumultuous period. “Keith has been so grateful for her support,” the source noted, emphasizing that Lopez recognizes Urban’s good heart and feels it is unfair that he has faced scrutiny during this time.
The two pop culture icons have maintained a friendship dating back to their days as judges on “American Idol,” and Lopez’s support is reportedly a source of comfort for Urban as they both navigate the complexities of life after marriage.
