Reports of a possible romance between Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker have sparked concern within the actress’s inner circle.
According to sources cited by Radar Online, those close to Kidman are worried she may be moving too quickly following her reported split from Keith Urban. Insiders have questioned whether Baker is currently in the right place for a serious relationship.

One source claimed, “He knows how to turn the charm on, but he’s also going through his own issues and is not in the most stable place right now.”
Concerns are said to stem not only from Baker’s reported personal challenges but also from Kidman’s emotional state after her recent breakup. Another insider noted, “That’s not Nicole’s style at all. She’s very much a one-man woman. Right now she’s still very vulnerable, so her friends can’t help but worry she’s going to end up getting hurt.”
The alleged relationship has also reportedly caused tension within their wider social circle. Rebecca Rigg—Baker’s ex-wife and said to be a close friend of Kidman—has been described as “shocked and confused” by the development.
Sources further suggested that while Baker may not be intentionally sending mixed signals, he does not appear to be “in the right headspace for anything serious,” raising questions about the future of the rumoured relationship.
