Nicole Kidman has reportedly split from Steve Bing over his refusal to marry her.

According to friends, the Far And Away actress ended her four-month relationship with the film producer last month when it became clear that he did not want to marry her, reports The Sun.

A source told the newspaper: "She ditched Steve when it became apparent he had no interest in marriage.

"In fact, he is proud of it. She told him there was no future in the relationship and said she wanted a break."

She has made no effort to hide the fact that she would like to remarry after her split from Top Gun star Tom Cruise.
