Nicole Kidman 'at top' of Orlando Bloom's dating wish list

Nicole Kidman Tops Orlando Bloom's Dating Wish List

Newly single Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom is reportedly interested in dating Nicole Kidman after both ended high-profile relationships. The English-born actor, 48, is said to have placed Nicole at the top of his dating list following his split from Katy Perry earlier this year. Nicole separated from her husband Keith Urban in September.

Shared History and Chemistry

An insider told New Idea magazine that Orlando has long admired Nicole, not just for her celebrity status but because they share a past.

"Orlando has Nicole at the top of his dream date wish list, and not just because of her A-list status. He's always had a thing for Nicole, for a very simple reason – they have history together."

Though they never publicly dated, in March 2002 they appeared close at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, about a year after Nicole's split from Tom Cruise.

"There was chemistry between them, all night. Orlando was clearly entranced by Nicole and she loved his attention."

Despite the spark, Nicole did not take him seriously at the time, leaving Orlando heartbroken.

"But the truth is she didn't take him seriously. He was devastated."

Summary

Orlando Bloom is keen to date Nicole Kidman, fueled by their shared history and recent mutual breakups, although past chemistry did not lead to a relationship.
