Russell Crowe has reportedly advised Nicole Kidman to steer clear of the dating scene following her divorce from Keith Urban, urging her to focus on herself and her children instead. The advice comes from a place of personal experience, as Crowe has been a single parent since his own divorce from Danielle Spencer in 2018.
According to a source cited by Globe Magazine, Crowe, who has been friends with Kidman since the 1990s, believes that avoiding a new relationship after a split can lead to personal growth. The insider explained that Crowe's happiness stems from prioritising his children above all else, a lesson he has now passed on to the Oscar-winning actress.
The source added that Crowe also recommended Kidman spend more time in her native Australia and adopt a less demanding work schedule, suggesting that her constant working may have been detrimental to her marriage. Crowe himself has reportedly embraced a more relaxed lifestyle since his divorce.
Kidman and Urban announced their divorce after 19 years of marriage, a decision she reportedly did not want. The couple share two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, and were married in a lavish ceremony in Sydney in 2006, which Crowe attended.
It remains to be seen whether Kidman will take Crowe's advice to heart. The source noted that Kidman has been one of the most prolific producer-actresses in the world, and that slowing down could be the key to her lasting happiness.
