Nicole Kidman spotted with mystery man outside hotel in Portofino six months after Keith Urban divorce

Nicole Kidman has been spotted with a man in public for the first time since her divorce from Keith Urban — with the mystery gentleman seeming smitten by her presence.

The 59-year-old Australian and Hollywood actress was photographed hanging out with the grey-haired man outside her hotel in Portofino, Italy, at the weekend.

The pair were seen engaging in conversation with the man, who kept his identity hidden by wearing black sunglasses, captured smiling and staring at Kidman, who wore a matching satin camisole and midi skirt.

The man then walked Kidman back to her suite door, where they said farewell. The unknown suitor wasn’t yet ready to see her go, stretching an arm inside a grated window where they appeared to touch hands before parting ways.

It’s the first time the Big Little Lies star has stepped out with a man in public since her divorce from country singer Urban was finalised in January after 19 years of marriage.

According to TMZ, the chairman of the board of MGM Resorts International, Paul Salem, is romantically pursuing the Oscar-winning actress.

Sources told the outlet that the 62-year-old businessman plans to win over Kidman’s heart and take her on a date.

It’s believed he has met with the mother-of-two twice in group settings because of their mutual friends, and she reportedly quickly caught his attention.

While the Babygirl star is still offically single she is focusing on her daughters Sunday, 17, and Faith, 15, according to OK! magazine.

Also accompanying Kidman on her Italian holiday was her sister Antonia, her niece Sybella and Sunday, with the teen cousins seen relaxing together in a photo shared on Instagram.

Days before Kidman was seen with her mystery man, she was spotted on board a luxury yacht with Antonia, who was celebrating her 55th birthday in style on Italian Riviera.

In April, Urban offered a three-word response to reports he’s become estranged from Sunday and Faith following their parents fallout, stating: “Family is private.”
