Inside Nicole Kidman’s $132k-a-month UK rental

Nicole Kidman’s new living arrangement is raising eyebrows over reports she is spending a small fortune to live in a UK home without husband Keith Urban.

The 58-year-old Aussie actress has been staying in England to film Practical Magic 2.

According to Daily Mail, the Oscar-winner has been residing in a luxurious Hampstead mansion once owned by pop star Boy George.

The Karma Chameleon singer lived in the six-bedroom compound until 2022 when he put it up for sale for £17 million (A$28.4m).

The property boasts five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cinema, a roof terrace and a meditation room.

Built around 1868 for the wealthy civil engineer and developer Edward Gotto, the primely located mansion — originally named “The Logs” — has been home to British comedian Marty Feldman as well as Sam Smith.

The Paddington star is apparently “getting comfortable” at the stately manor, which reportedly costs her £65,000 ($A132,000) a month to stay at while her country singer husband is currently on tour.

Urban hasn’t been seen at her rented UK mansion as he is travelling across the US and Canada until mid-October for his High and Alive tour.

Despite the musician’s tour commitments, an insider told Woman’s Day the couple’s time apart has raised eyebrows.

“They do make an effort to speak every day when they’re apart but it’s shocking how much time they’ve spent apart since Nicole’s mother died last September,” the source told the publication.

“It’s like they both went their separate ways. Now she’s getting comfortable in a dream home in London on the other side of the world.

“No one knows how long they can put up with this situation, as they’ve always been diligent about not spending more than two weeks apart. Clearly, that’s not the case anymore.”

Kidman’s UK rental has an eerie past. In 1986, 27-year-old American musician Michael Rudetsky was found dead in the living room from a drug overdose.

Despite the home’s dark history, Kidman doesn’t seem to have put off living there.

“If you put aside what must’ve gone on in that house over the years, it is stunning, in a beautiful location, and it has lots of space,” the source said.

“It’s made for a Hollywood star. It’s close to Hampstead Heath, which is a draw for stars used to living in America.”
