Wearing a chic white silk tank top and matching skirt, the 59-year-old actress stepped onto a hotel balcony to enjoy some fresh air while spending time with the Beverly Hills businessman.
Although the outing sparked dating rumors, the pair appeared to be enjoying a friendly conversation during the visit.
Kidman kept her look effortlessly elegant with her hair down and minimal accessories, while Reinstein wore a navy shirt, matching shorts and black sunglasses.
Reports Claim the Rumored Romance Has Been Kept Private
In another set of photos obtained by Daily Mail, Kidman was also seen sipping an Aperol Spritz poolside with Reinstein. At one point, he playfully lifted her hat as the two shared a laugh.
According to gossip site DeuxMoi, the actress has quietly been getting to know her rumored new love interest away from the spotlight.
A source told the outlet, "The relationship has been quietly developing for the past few months and the pair have been keeping things extremely low-key and largely out of the public eye."
