After Urban’s 19-year marriage to Kidman ended in a Nashville court on January 6, 2026, rumors started to spread. Collins, who opened for Urban on his 2025 tour, was the subject of gossip that spread quickly on social media and in tabloids. Fans thought their professional relationship was romantic, especially with headlines like “Keith Urban moved in with girlfriend Karley Scott Collins.”
Collins shared a screenshot of a sensational article on January 18 with the caption, “Y’all, this is absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue,” and added a laughing emoji for emphasis. Urban’s team didn’t respond, so she kept her focus on her rebuttal despite all the talk in Nashville. The denial is meant to bring attention back to her music career.
Collins signed with Sony Music Nashville and released her first album, Flight Risk, in September 2025. People liked her smoky voice and gritty lyrics. She’s gotten a lot of attention in country music through singles, EPs, touring, and even acting roles. People who watch the industry say that the rumor mill could help her get more attention if it is used for promotions.
