Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman’s ex-husband, is reportedly unhappy about her close friendship with her “Scarpetta” co-star, Simon Baker. The two longtime pals seem to have bonded even more since Kidman’s divorce, evident from their friendly red-carpet moment at their latest project’s premiere. Their strengthened connection has allegedly made Urban feel “betrayed,” and he’s hoping there’s no deeper romance between Kidman and Baker.

Earlier this month, Nicole Kidman unveiled her new project “Scarpetta,” starring alongside her longtime Australian friend Simon Baker. At the premiere, the two Aussie stars sparked buzz with their affectionate display, including hand-holding and mutual smiles. They were also spotted slipping away to an after-party together, fueling further speculation. This led to rumors of a deeper connection between them, with reports now claiming it left Kidman’s ex-husband feeling “betrayed.” A source told Woman’s Day that Keith hopes the pair are just playing it up for publicity, regarding the singer to whom Kidman was married for nearly two decades. The source added, “But even then, it feels like a betrayal to him because both Nicole and Simon know how much even the suggestion of a romance between them will hurt him.” Keith Urban Had Already Suspected His Ex-Wife Was Growing Close to Her Co-Star.

Beyond their professional roles, the characters share a romantic bond featuring kissing scenes and other affectionate moments. Even post-production, the evident chemistry between Kidman and Baker persisted in promotional interviews for the series, such as a Q&A with Vogue Australia. Reports indicate Urban took notice of this, with a source claiming he anticipated it during filming and was deeply displeased. “He already suspected they were getting close while filming.” “This is his worst nightmare come true,” the insider further revealed. “He hates that they’re giving interviews about how close they are,” the source added.
