What Happened to Nicole Kidman?

Nicole Kidman's career in Hollywood has been marked by versatility and a willingness to embrace challenging roles, a trajectory that continues strongly into 2026. After a successful run in critically acclaimed television series like "Big Little Lies" and "The Undoing," Kidman has maintained a high profile both on-screen and behind the scenes through her production company, Blossom Films.

In late 2024, Kidman was honored with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards for her performance in "Babygirl," which was released in 2024. This was followed by another significant recognition in May 2025, when she received the Women In Motion Award at the Cannes Film Festival, celebrating her decades-long career and commitment to female filmmakers. Her work as a producer has been integral to many of her recent projects, including "The Last Anniversary," an Australian mystery series based on a Liane Moriarty novel, which premiered in March 2025 and saw a resurgence in streaming popularity by September 2026.

2025 and 2026 brought significant personal changes for Kidman. She filed for divorce from musician Keith Urban in September 2025, citing "marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences." The divorce was finalized in January 2026, with the couple agreeing to joint custody of their daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Kidman publicly addressed the divorce in an August 2026 Vogue interview, expressing vulnerability but also hope for the future. Following her divorce, she made her first post-split appearance at the 2026 Oscars in March, where she presented an award. By August 2026, rumors of a new romance with businessman Michael Reinstein began to circulate after they were spotted together.

Professionally, Kidman's schedule remains robust. March 2026 saw the premiere of the horror series "Scarpetta" on Prime Video, where she stars as forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta, with a second season already underway for a 2027 release. In April 2026, her series "Margo's Got Money Troubles" premiered on Apple TV, which has also been renewed for a second season. A major highlight for 2026 is the highly anticipated sequel "Practical Magic 2," reuniting her with Sandra Bullock, which premiered in Los Angeles on August 31, 2026, and is set for a theatrical release on September 11, 2026. She also returned for "Lioness" Season 3, which began airing on August 2, 2026. Kidman is also slated for other projects, including the horror film "The Young People" (2026) and the series "Girls and Their Horses."

Her enduring presence is further underscored by her reported net worth of $250 million in 2026, and her recognition by Forbes as one of the highest-paid actresses in 2024. In September 2026, fans noted a seemingly more natural appearance during a BBC interview for "Practical Magic 2," leading to speculation about a reduction in Botox use. Kidman continues to be a beacon of cinematic excellence, balancing a demanding career with personal life changes, and consistently choosing roles that leave a significant impact.
