Country music artist Karley Scott Collins has publicly refuted speculation alleging that she is residing with Keith Urban following reports of his finalized divorce from actress Nicole Kidman.
Ms. Collins, who previously served as a supporting act on Mr. Urban’s 2025 High and Alive World Tour and collaborated with him on the 2024 duet Write One, addressed the claim via social media on Sunday. In an Instagram Story, she shared a screenshot of an article advancing the allegation and categorically denied its accuracy, characterizing the report as false and unfounded.
Ms. Collins and Mr. Urban have maintained a professional relationship that includes public expressions of mutual respect and friendship. In recent months, Ms. Collins has shared images and statements acknowledging Mr. Urban’s mentorship and support of her career, including his role in facilitating her debut appearance at the Grand Ole Opry. These communications, however, have not indicated any personal or residential arrangement beyond a professional association.
Mr. Urban recently gave his first public interview following the legal dissolution of his marriage to Ms. Kidman, which was finalized on January 6 after approximately 19 years. In that interview, he spoke generally about entering a new phase of personal reflection and creative focus, without reference to any romantic or domestic relationship.
As of the time of publication, representatives for Mr. Urban have not issued a formal response to the rumor. Both artists continue to maintain separate professional schedules, with Mr. Urban and Ms. Collins each slated for upcoming performances later in the year.#newsafro_
