Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Finalize Divorce, Details Revealed
Karley Scott Collins is not entertaining rumors about where she stands with Keith Urban.
The “Quit You” singer—who opened for Keith on his High and Alive World Tour last year—clapped back at a headline alleging that the two had begun living together in the wake of his breakup with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.
“Keith Urban moved in with GF Karley Scott Collins?” read the headline shared in a post on Karley’s Instagram Stories Jan. 18. “Fresh speculation amid divorce.”
Under the report—which also described Karley, 26, as the 58-year-old’s “rumored girlfriend”—the country artist added a cry laughing emoji alongside the message, “Yall, this is absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue.”
In the months since Keith and Nicole, also 58, moved to end their 19-year marriage, the Grammy winner has also been romantically linked to his guitarist Maggie Baugh. However, Maggie’s pal Alexandra Kay quickly stepped in to dismiss the speculation, saying it was “absolutely not true.”
“Honestly, I was heartbroken for them because the media scrutiny is insane and the things that people say...,” the singer told Taste of Country in October. “They're like, stirring up rumors about Maggie Baugh, and I’m like, ‘She's a good friend of mine.’”
Instagram Stories
Alexandra also noted that Maggie was already in a relationship, adding, “She’s very happy.”
Meanwhile, Keith and Nicole—who share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15—finalized their divorce earlier this month, agreeing to waive all rights to child and spousal support while each maintaining ownership of their own possessions, according to legal documents obtained by E! News.
The settlement also included a custody plan, with the Moulin Rouge actress spending 306 days a year with their daughters while her ex will have every other weekend with the girls, totaling 59 days.

While the former spouses have not directly discussed their breakup, they’ve both expressed optimism for the future. Nicole recently shared a sweet photo of herself with Sunday and Faith as they rang in the new year, writing atop the Jan. 1 Instagram Stories post, “Looking forward into 2026.”
For Keith’s part, he’s shared how he’s making changes for the year ahead.
“As a friend of mine says, work on how you introduce yourself to the day,” he told Dann Huff in an interview published Jan. 11. “He said to me, ‘How do you introduce yourself to the day, every day?’ And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I love that. I love that.’”
“So how do you do it in the morning?” he continued. “That’s where I’m at. Simplifying. Simplifying is my journey this year.”

“The first thing I thought of with your beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, being on so many great movies, TV shows all the time,” a radio host said on Australia’s Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning. “What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?”

“He's disconnected from Zoom,” a radio staffer said. “I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question.”

Neither will pay child support, according to the doc obtained by E! News.
“The mother and father will behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced,” it stated. “They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”
