Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldana Are Island-Hopping on a Yacht in Greece, After Joking for Years About Wanting to Take a Vacation Together

By

“We want to go on holiday in Italy together,” Nicole Kidman told People back in 2023. “My god. Please!” Zoe Saldaña answered. Three years later they’re on a yacht in Greece with Saldaña’s husband Marco Perego-Saldaña, Omar Epps, and a big group of friends, capping a day of shopping and lunch by dancing on the dock.

The friendship started in a shared makeup trailer on Lioness and never left. By the time press for the first season rolled around in 2023, they were already floating the idea of an Italy trip out loud to reporters, and it became a running bit every time they sat down together.

Around the Season 3 premiere in New York last week, Entertainment Tonight asked if it was actually happening. “Holiday next week,” they confirmed, high-fived, and refused to say where: “We can’t, because then it won’t be a holiday.”

The where turned out to be Mykonos. Lunch was at Nammos Beach Club, where the group ran into former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful; Kidman carried a Loewe bag through the shops beforehand.
