Newly single Hollywood star Orlando Bloom is reportedly showing interest in dating Nicole Kidman after both recently ended their long-term relationships. According to an unconfirmed report, the 48-year-old British actor has placed Nicole, who separated from her husband Keith Urban in September, at the top of his dating wish list following his own split from Katy Perry earlier this year.
“Orlando has Nicole at the top of his dream date wish list, and not just because of her A-list status,” an insider told New Idea magazine. “He’s always had a thing for Nicole for a very simple reason — they have history together.”
The two actors never publicly dated, but back in March 2002, they were seen sharing a warm moment at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, a year after Kidman’s separation from Tom Cruise. Witnesses described clear chemistry and mutual attraction between them that night.
“There was chemistry between them all night. Orlando was clearly entranced by Nicole and she loved his attention,” the source added. “But the truth is she didn’t take him seriously. He was devastated.”
Orlando Bloom reportedly wants to reconnect with Nicole Kidman after their mutual breakups, reviving old sparks first noticed at a 2002 Oscars party.
