As Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban finalise their divorce after 20 years together, rumours are circulating that he’s already moved on with country star Karley Scott Collins, 26.

Collins opened for the 58-year-old singer’s 2025 High and Alive World Tour after collaborating on her 2024 duet Write One with him.

On Sunday, Collins posted an image of an article discussing the rumour that she’d ‘moved in’ with Keith on Instagram.

She captioned it with a cry-laughing emoji, writing: ‘Y’all, this is absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue.’

Rumors of a relationship between Keith and Karley came after the country icon split from Nicole, who he married in June 2006 and with whom he shares two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

The split came as a shock to many, given what appeared to be an idyllic marriage from the outside.

It also might not have been a totally peaceful separation process, as Nicole previously said she was ‘hanging in there’ after filing over ‘irreconcilable differences,’ implying that she was still emotionally recovering.

In October, their unusual custody agreement was revealed, and later that month, both Nicole and Keith made public solo appearances.

It was previously revealed that Nicole will take the girls for the majority of the time, with weekends spent with their dad.

Keith’s time with their kids will be 10am on Saturdays until 6pm on Sundays every other weekend, while they will live with their mother the rest of the time.

Special occasions have also been divided, with Nicole getting Sunday and Faith on Mother’s Day and over Easter while Keith will have them for Father’s Day and during Thanksgiving.

Some have wondered why Nicole seems to get so much more time with the children, with one source previously suggesting – before Karley’s denial that she was in any way involved with Keith – that it might be because Keith has already moved on, and his children feel loyalty to their mother.

A source previously told the DailyMail: ‘I hear he [Urban] has someone, which is why the girls are publicly supporting Mom. People think they are even living together. Look, teen girls love their dads, so there’s a reason they’re making it three against one.

‘Since the split, you are seeing her and the girls all the time, on her social media and in other photos. They were with her in Paris and in Sydney. She posted pictures of them all taking part in a “turkey trot” running race on Thanksgiving which is really unusual, she’s generally more private than that.

‘Each time you see them they are linking arms or holding hands. It looks “us against the world”.’

The source adds: ‘I feel like with the pictures she is briefing against him, without briefing against him. It feels as if she is really mad at him and she is using the girls to show that he is in the doghouse.’

The actress and singer’s salaries have also been revealed in court documents seen by Page Six.

Both reportedly earn ‘in excess of $100,000’ (£74,000) per month, equating to over $1,200,000 (£891,300) each year, meaning neither will pay child support.

Per the terms of the document, the stars agreed not to ‘speak badly of each other’ or other family members and vow to ‘encourage’ their children to ‘love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.’
