Nicole Kidman could be swapping US soil for the sun of Portugal after applying for residency in the country.
The Babygirl actor, 58, submitted her paperwork to the country’s immigration agency earlier this week, according to local media outlet SIC Notícias.
The Australian icon, who was seen stepping out of a private jet in Cascais – a wealthy seaside enclave just outside of Lisbon – is reportedly browsing for a lavish new pad.
The Oscar-winner is said to be eyeing up a property at the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club, a luxury development about 130km south of Lisbon, which is known as a favourite among the Hollywood elite.
George Clooney and Paris Hilton enjoy spending time here, and it is also a base for Princess Eugenie.
Husband Keith Urban was reportedly not mentioned in the documents.
The New York Post reports that the Blue Ain’t Your Colour singer was unable to break away from touring for the trip.
‘Keith was unable to be in Portugal for this appointment as he is currently on tour in the US, and it is mandatory for applicants to be physically present to apply for the visa,’ The Post reported.
‘He is scheduled to submit his application at a later date that works with his tour schedule.’
The Portugal Golden Visa program allows investors to obtain residency through real estate investment. Kidman and Urban already own a home in Lisbon.
Kidman and Urban have multiple properties across the US and Australia, with the Holland actor spending much of her time in the US due to work.
They wouldn’t be the first stars to leave the US since Trump’s presidency began.
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell moved from the US to Ireland, with Trump recently threatening to revoke her citizenship.
Posting on Truth Social, he said the star was ‘not in the best interests of our great country’, adding: ‘I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her.’
O’Donnell posted a picture of Trump with his arm around Jeffrey Epstein on her Instagram in response.
Addressing the President, she suggested she lives ‘rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours’ after 18 years of animosity between them.
The comedian added: ‘You are everything that is wrong with america – and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it.
‘You want to revoke my citizenship? go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.’
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has fled the US for the UK at the end of 2024.
Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, made the leap and ditched their life in Montecito and set themselves up in the ultra-luxury English countryside, the Cotswolds.
The Wrap reported that the duo told friends that Trump’s coming to power was the ‘primary motivation’ and that they planned to ‘never return’ to the US.
