Who is Karley Scott Collins?
Collins is a former actress (Once Upon a Time) and a country singer known for her tracks such as “I Used to Love Him” and “Madman.” Her debut album, Flight Risk, was released this past September.
The 26-year-old Florida native has always had a passion for music-making.
In an interview with Country Swag in 2022, Collins said, “When I was nine, I had got this audition and they told me I needed to learn how to play guitar for it. So, that was when I picked up my first guitar ever, and I just kind of just really fell in love with it, and pretty much never put it down.”
Once she figured out the chords and songwriting, it was game over. Music was her life. She originally met Urban during his “High and Alive” tour.
Collins, alongside Chase Matthew and Alana Springsteen, were all opening acts for the tour.
Collins Addresses the Rumors
With all the rumors flying around about Collins and Urban, the young country singer decided to take action on social media. She publicly denied the allegations on Instagram Stories on January 18th.
The post had a screenshot of one of the many news reports about their relationship, and Collins added the following text over it: “Yall, this is absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue.”
She even added a crying laughing emoji to get her disbelief across.
Urban’s Recent Split
Keith Urban has most recently been all over media outlets due to his split with his now ex-wife, Nicole Kidman. The couple divorced in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage.
Many of the details of their split have been kept private. However, the attention and rumors surrounding Urban’s future relationship status have only grown.
To make matters more interesting, the dating speculation arrived just 12 days after Kidman and Urban finalized their divorce, adding fuel to the fire.
Neither Urban nor Collins’ representatives have responded to media outlets for comments about the rumor.
