Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker sent shockwaves around the world in March when they were seen holding hands at the New York premiere of their latest TV series, Scarpetta. The pair were glowing as they held fast to each other alongside their fellow stars, like Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana DeBose and Bobby Cannavale.
Nicole was stunning in a black dress with a gauzy skirt and a structured black blazer on top, with her long blonde hair worn down in subtle waves, while Simon looked dapper in a tan suit with a black shirt underneath.
In the hit crime series, Nicole plays the lead role of Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist, and Simon portrays FBI profiler, Benton Wesley. The Oscar-winning actress, who is close friends with Simon's ex-wife, shared with The Daily Telegraph that she "begged" him to work with her.
"We have known each other for a huge portion of our lives, so I've always wanted to do something substantial with Simon," Nicole said. "And so, it was me going, would you please, please, do this with me? And he was at a time in his life when he could, when he could make decisions to be away from home and do things that took his fancy, and so it was kind of kismet."
"And he said yes to me," she added. The pair had previously starred as a married couple in the 2022 anthology Roar, and "had a good time" on set, as Simon revealed.
