Nicole Kidman is reportedly stepping into what friends are calling her “revenge romance era”, and this time, she’s revisiting an old love. More than two decades after her engagement to musician Lenny Kravitz, the Oscar-winning actress is said to be rekindling her connection with the rock legend as she moves forward from her recent split with country superstar Keith Urban.

The “Holland” actor, 58, stunned fans last month when she filed for divorce from Urban, 57, ending their nearly 20-year marriage. Sources close to Kidman revealed that while the separation has been emotionally challenging, she has shifted her focus toward rediscovering herself and reclaiming her independence.

“After everything she’s been through with Keith, we’ve all encouraged her to just enjoy life again,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “She deserves to be cherished – and honestly, no one ever made her feel as loved as Lenny did.”

Kidman and Kravitz, 61, first began dating in 2003 after the actress rented his Manhattan apartment. “Nicole and Lenny go way back,” a friend of the actress shared. “What they had was real love, and that connection between them has never really faded. People who know them both say the spark is still there.”

Back then, however, timing proved to be their biggest obstacle. Kidman, fresh off her divorce from Tom Cruise, was seeking stability and a family.

“They were at very different stages of life,” a former associate of Kravitz explained
