Sparking suspicions about her post-Tom Cruise romantic life, Nicole Kidman is reportedly vacationing at the same luxury resort in Fiji as Russell Crowe, according to a tourism official.

Management denied that the Australian actors were at the Wakaya Club in the South Pacific island nation of Fiji. However, Fiji Visitors Bureau marketing director Bill Whiting said both stars were staying there.

"They're both definitely here on Wakaya Island," Whiting said. "They both arrived separately, not on the same day."

The Wakaya Club's accommodations include beach-front, palm-thatched cottages known locally as bures. Its management routinely denies that celebrities are staying there to protect their privacy.

Kidman and her two children arrived in Fiji on July 6 aboard a private jet, the Fiji Sun newspaper reported Thursday.

Crowe, who won this year's best actor Academy Award for his role as Maximus in "Gladiator," arrived on his private jet Tuesday and immediately boarded a flight to Wakaya Island.

Sources at Nadi international airport, on Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, said Thursday that both stars' jets remained at the airport.

Kidman and Tom Cruise announced their separation earlier this year after nearly 10 years of marriage. They have two children, Isabella, 8, and Conor, 6.

The glamour couple was the toast of Sydney last year, living in a sprawling harborside mansion while filming separate projects. Cruise won the hearts of sports-crazy Sydney residents by supporting a local rugby league team. Pictures of him, ironically sitting with Crowe, with them both draped in the team's colors, were splashed across newspapers and tabloids.
