Singer and former actress Karley Scott Collins has been rising the ranks of the country music scene for years, and now, it seems people have linked to country music titan Keith Urban, after his messy divorce from Nicole Kidman.
As many know, Kidman filed for divorce from Urban in late 2025, and it is reportedly Urban who has moved on from his marriage to Kidman. Mere days before the news broke, insiders alleged he had a new gal in his life. While fingers pointed to Maggie Baugh, those turned out to be false. And then, the rumors started about him and Collins.

She Has a Love for Old Music
She told Atwood Magazine, “My dad would play a ton of Alice In Chains and Guns N’ Roses, and we would listen Metallica, and then I got a little bit older, and this is obviously a lot less rock, but I’d listen to a lot of Fleetwood Mac and Bob Dylan and Tom Petty things like that.”
She Loves Western Books
“As far as songwriting goes my favourite author of all time is Cormac McCarthy. He wrote a lot in the American West. He wrote the book that inspired that movie No Country for Old Men, but his writing is poetic, and he says a lot of things that are just like ‘Oh my God’! I never would have thought of that, but it you know it will inspire me to write in a more poetic way,” she said to Atwood Magazine. “He’s the only person I ever written actual fan mail to and sent it out, like handwritten letter. Sadly, he did pass away before he could respond.”
