Nicole Kidman's approach to love is a little different now.
The Special Ops: Lioness actress finalized her divorce from Keith Urban, with whom she shares daughters Sunday, 18, and Faith, 15, last year, after nearly 20 years of marriage.
One year later, reflecting on what her love life looks like now with Practical Magic 2 co-star Sandra Bullock, who lost her partner Bryan Randall to a battle with ALS in 2023, she detailed what's changed.
Speaking with former TODAY co-anchor Hoda Kotb on her podcast Making Space, Nicole, speaking about how she views love differently now, said: "If you can move towards, 'OK, it's not this type of love, now it's this love,' I just think it's a much easier place to operate from."
"It can be very hard," she noted, though maintained: "But it's like a soothing balm if you can get there."
Concurring, Sandra, herself a mom to son Louis, 16, and Laila, 13, shared: "When I hear love, my mind does not go to an intimate relationship with someone of the opposite sex."
"I immediately go to, 'What am I feeling right now?' What's sitting in my chest, what makes me feel loving," she added.
Nicole recently also reflected on her love life, specifically her divorce, in a British Vogue interview, teasing that despite having previously gone through divorce, from Tom Cruise in 2006, it's regardless "all new."
While not diving into the specifics of her divorce from the New Zealand-born musician, she described the phase that came after as "free-falling," explaining that she approached the entire process "feelings first."
"I've approached my whole life like that," she added. "That's just who I am."
"I don't overthink things and I'm probably not that analytical. I'm far more feeling-centered and I lead with my heart. I just go, 'OK, what do I feel here? I'll give it a go'," she continued, although she also noted there was a phase when she felt "fearful and vulnerable" after her marriage first ended.
Though she keeps her personal life largely private, Nicole was most recently romantically linked to Michael Reinstein, founder, chairman, and CEO of the Los Angeles-based private equity firm Regent.
