### Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek Refute Rumors of Tension at Paris Fashion Week

Rumors of a rift between Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek have been dispelled, with insiders affirming that the actresses remain on excellent terms. Contrary to swirling speculation, sources assure us that "there's no bad blood between" Kidman, 57, and Hayek, 58, who reportedly "adore each other."

The speculation arose from a video taken outside the Balenciaga runway show that recently went viral. In the footage, Kidman and Hayek, surrounded by photographers, appeared to have a brief, tense interaction. At one point, Hayek used her hand to position Kidman toward the camera for another photo. Kidman, however, seemed uninterested and moved Hayek's hand away before walking off. Moments later, singer Katy Perry stepped into the frame to pose with Hayek.

UK expert witness and forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman weighed in on the incident, analyzing their brief conversation. According to Freeman, Hayek said, "Let's turn there. OK, here," to which Kidman seemingly responded, "Hey, I'm fine. I'm good. There, it's enough. It's OK." Hayek then appeared to say, "We have to..." before interacting with Perry. Freeman suggests that Hayek concluded the exchange with, "That's fine, that's fine," while directing the pop star towards the awaiting photographers.

An insider backs an earlier eyewitness account, emphasizing that "nothing happened." The observer explained that the actresses were simply overwhelmed by the cameras while trying to have a conversation. Kidman and Hayek reportedly continued to interact amicably for the rest of the evening, with Hayek even sharing photos of the event on her social media.

Hayek posted an Instagram photo carousel from the night, featuring a snap with Kidman, among others. "Finally last night the grand finale of my Paris Fashion Week 2025. Balenciaga and Demna for a terrific show @katyperry @lindsaylohan @nicolekidman @balenciaga," she captioned.

Some social media commenters speculated that Kidman might have been "just not feeling the moment," possibly due to her recent bereavement following her mother's sudden death in early September. Despite the momentary awkwardness, it seems that Kidman and Hayek remain as collegial as ever, showcasing that even among celebrities, occasional misunderstandings are part and parcel of navigating a public life.
