About Babygirl
Romy is a powerhouse chief executive who rules a demanding empire of work and family. When she begins a forbidden fling with her much younger intern Samuel, the line between ambition and affection blurs. The affair pulls at her marriage and the company's delicate balance, forcing uncomfortable choices and exposing hidden loyalties. As the romance deepens, Romy must weigh professional risk against personal desire, while the people around them react with envy, concern, and betrayal. Babygirl, in this drama about desire and duty, follows a woman who pushes hard to have it all and discovers there may be a cost. Set against sleek corporate backdrops and getaways, the affair tests loyalties and hides betrayals while the truth starts to surface.
Directed by Halina Reijn, Babygirl arrived in 2024 as a drama romance with Nicole Kidman leading as Romy, Harris Dickinson as Samuel, Antonio Banderas as Jacob, and Esther-Rose McGregor and Sophie Wilde. It offers an original take on workplace romance.
