Karley Scott Collins is quickly becoming a name fans want to know as rumors swirl that the rising country singer is romantically involved with Keith Urban following his divorce from Nicole Kidman. At just 26, Collins has reportedly grown close to the 58-year-old country music superstar, with sources claiming the two may already be living together—an alleged relationship that has drawn intense attention due to their 32-year age gap.
As speculation continues to build, curiosity has surged around Collins, the young artist said to have caught Urban’s eye after his highly publicized split. While she hasn’t yet reached household-name status, Collins is steadily carving out her place in country music and is currently signed to Sony Music Nashville.
Originally from Florida, Collins’ journey into music began earlier than most—but not exactly how she expected. In a past interview, she shared that acting first led her toward music after she landed an audition at age nine that required her to play guitar. What started as preparation for a role quickly turned into a lifelong passion, with Collins falling in love with songwriting and performance almost immediately.
Music played a major role in her upbringing. She has spoken about listening to rock music with her father while commuting to school, while her grandmother introduced her to classic country legends like Willie Nelson. Those early influences helped shape her sound, along with inspiration from artists such as Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, and Guns N’ Roses.
After graduating high school, Collins set her sights on Nashville, determined to pursue music full-time. Performing around the city helped her gain confidence, and a chance moment proved career-changing when an industry executive overheard her singing and offered her a publishing deal. That break eventually led to her signing with Sony Music Nashville.
Before fully committing to music, Collins also explored acting, appearing as Gretel on ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Still, songwriting and performing ultimately won out. She released her debut single, Heavenly, in 2022, followed by her first full-length album, Flight Risk, which dropped last year and features 16 tracks.
Collins’ connection to Urban reportedly deepened when she joined his High and Alive World Tour as an opening act, a period that overlapped with the final stages of his divorce from Kidman. Fans quickly noticed their chemistry onstage, particularly during duet performances that circulated widely online, further fueling romance rumors.
According to recent reports, the pair may have taken their relationship offstage as well, with insiders claiming they’ve moved in together. Neither Urban nor Collins has publicly confirmed the relationship, but the speculation has been enough to push the young singer firmly into the celebrity spotlight.
