Meet Karley Scott Collins the Rising Country Singer Connected to Keith Urban Post-Nicole Kidman Split

by

Rumors are swirling that Keith Urban may be dating singer Karley Scott Collins. This comes just weeks after his divorce from Nicole Kidman was finalized. The two reportedly became close while on tour, and people are now wondering if Urban has found a new romantic interest in the country music world.

Growing up in Lake City, Florida, I always knew Karley Collins had a creative spark. It’s funny, though – before she became a country star, she was actually a working actress! I remember seeing her in things like The Class, The Hottie and the Nottie, and even Once Upon a Time. She’s said herself that music wasn’t her first love, but it started with an audition when she was just nine – she needed to learn guitar for a role! And she never stopped playing after that. It totally took over her life. Her house was always filled with rock and country, so when she finally learned a few chords, everything just clicked for her. By the time she finished high school and moved to Nashville, music was pretty much all she lived for – notebooks full of lyrics and a guitar constantly in her hands.

Karley’s music career took off in 2019 when a publisher was impressed by her singing and immediately offered her a record deal. Since then, she’s been a strong supporter of other female artists, expressing how proud she is to be a woman in a growing industry.

Her major breakthrough came in 2023 with a contract from Sony Music Nashville, leading to the release of her first album, Flight Risk, in late 2025. Recently, rumors about a romantic relationship have been circulating, and Karley has directly addressed them.

On Instagram, she shared a screenshot of a headline claiming someone had moved in with her, calling the story “absolutely ridiculous and untrue.”

Karley and another artist have a close professional relationship – they’ve worked together on the song “Write One” and toured together – but she emphasizes that their connection is strictly a mentorship.

Despite recent media attention, Keith Urban is continuing with his busy international tour schedule, including headlining the C2C: Country to Country festival in London, Glasgow, and Belfast in March. He’s also promoting his latest album, HIGH, and its popular single, “Messed Up as Me,” which fans have been discussing in relation to his separation from Nicole Kidman.

Karley Scott Collins is also having a big year, as she’ll be joining Luke Bryan on his “Word On The Street” tour starting in May. With her own shows and increasing festival appearances, she’s quickly gaining recognition in the country music scene. Currently, both artists appear to be prioritizing their careers and music over addressing personal rumors.
