Nicole Kidman Makes Ex Feel ‘Disrespected’ Amid Simon Baker Rumors — Source

Nicole KidmanandSimon Baker's growing closeness is reportedly making her ex,Keith Urban, feel "disrespected." The actors worked together on the film "Scarpetta." They sparked rumors after their cozy display of affection on the red carpet. Sources claim this has not only unsettled both actors' exes, Rebecca Rigg and Urban, but also left the country singer feeling "betrayed."

Nicole Kidman's ex Keith Urban feels 'betrayed' by Simon Baker PDA, per source

Nicole Kidmanseems to have moved on from her divorce from her ex, Keith Urban. The couple was married for almost 19 years. However, they separated last year when the "Babygirl" actor reportedly filed for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences."

Months after the divorce, the Oscar-winning actor made headlines for seemingly indulging in PDA with her "Scarpetta" co-star,Simon Baker. They were allegedly seen holding hands at the movie premiere. This sparked speculation about whether something is going on between the two. This definitely hasn't sat well with Urban, who allegedly feels "betrayed" by the entire turn of events.

A source toldGlobe magazinethat the Grammy-winning artist considers Baker a good friend. This is why he couldn't believe he would do this to him, and this "feels like a betrayal" to him.

While he is being told by others that the closeness was just for film promotion, seeing them holding hands has hit a nerve for him, a source claims. The insider added, "From where he's standing, it looks like a line has been crossed, whether they admit to it or not."

Another source claims that after their divorce, Urban was painted in a negative light. However, as per the source, he never really defended himself or said anything "out of respect for Nicole." However, with these latest developments, he allegedly feels disrespected by his ex-wife. The turn of events has been "extra upsetting" for Urban, who reportedly feels hurt by how things have unfolded in the public eye.

Chinese chipmakers claim nearly half of of local market as Nvidia's lead shrinks, IDC says

By Che Pan and Laurie Chen

BEIJING, April 1 (Rtrs) - Chinese GPU and AI chip makers captured nearly 41% of China's AI accelerator server ‌market last year, erodingNvidia's once-dominant position in one of its ‌most important overseas markets, according to data from an IDC report reviewed by Reuters.

The gains ​come as Beijing grows increasingly cautious about dependence on foreign chips, pushing government agencies and companies to adopt domestic alternatives after successive waves of U.S. export controls cut China off from Nvidia's most advanced products.

Total shipments of AI accelerator cards ‌by Nvidia, AMD, and ⁠Chinese chipmakers reached approximately 4 million units in China in 2025, the data showed.

Nvidia remained the market leader, shipping around ⁠2.2 million cards and holding a 55% share. But that figure marks a significant retreat for the U.S. chipmaker, which held a dominant market share in China's ​AI chip ​market. AMD carved out a modest ​presence, shipping roughly 160,000 cards for ‌a 4% share, the IDC data showed.

Chinese vendors collectively shipped 1.65 million cards, accounting for 41% of the total market — a milestone that underscores how aggressively domestic players have moved to fill the void left by tightening U.S. export controls.

Huawei Technologies emerged as the runaway leader among Chinese vendors, shipping ‌around 812,000 AI chips, roughly half of all ​domestically branded shipments. Alibaba's chip design unit ​T-Head claimed second place, shipping ​approximately 265,000 cards.

Baidu's Kunlunxin and Cambricon each shipped around 116,000 ‌cards, ranking them jointly third among ​Chinese vendors.

Hygon, GPU startups ​MetaX and Iluvatar CoreX accounted for 5%, 4% and 3% of total Chinese vendor shipments, respectively.

In 2025, the central government launched a new ​wave of AI infrastructure ‌spending, with local governments accelerating intelligent computing centers across provinces, many ​of which carried implicit directives to "buy Chinese."
