Nicole Kidman and Jacob Elordi – new couple in Tinseltown?

Nicole Kidman and Jacob Elordi have recently been spotted at the Oscars, sparking romance rumours.

The Wuthering Heights actor raises eyebrows as he was caught on camera kissing the Australia actress’ hand at the Oscars.

The rumoured new couple, who were also seen at the Oscars after-party, have utmost admiration for each other, according to an industry insider.

“Nicole has been on the lookout for a new, younger leading man, and after getting to know Jacob, it looks like her hunt is over,” says a source while speaking to Radar Online.

Similarly, the Saltburn actor has “had a crush” on Nicole since he was 15.

For now, the Babygirl actress, who parted ways with Keith Urban in 2025, is currently looking out for a script that could work for both her and Jacob.

Another source tells the outlet that Nicole “loves that she and Jacob have similar backgrounds and hopes that he'll consider letting her take him under her wing.”

“She also knows she's going to have extra kudos from her daughters Sunny and Faith, who, like most teenage girls, are huge fans of Jacob,” says an insider.

On the other hand, the Euphoria star is all set to build his professional relationship with Nicole.

Jacob points out that he is in awe of Nicole and would do anything to work with her, claims a first source.

“He wouldn't dare make a move, though. This is a chance to work with an Oscar-winning actress. He's not going to blow that on an old teenage crush he had,” adds the insider.
