Keith Urban’s post-split personal life continues to attract attention, and a new name has surfaced in the swirl of speculation. The Daily Mail reported Friday that the country music star has now been linked to 25-year-old singer Karley Scott Collins, who performed as an opening act on his “High and Alive” tour.

Scott Collins, a Florida-born artist signed to Sony Nashville, has been rising steadily in the country music world. Her connection to Urban drew fresh scrutiny partly because he and Nicole Kidman lived in Nashville before their separation in September. Urban and Kidman had been married for 19 years and share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.

Rumors surrounding Urban’s life on tour surfaced earlier when a video posted by 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist Maggie Baugh sparked online speculation. Baugh shared a clip in October of her and Urban performing together, writing, “Singing ‘We Were Us’ with THE Keith Urban? Is this real life? Someone pinch me.” Another video from July showed her reacting to Urban altering lyrics once dedicated to Kidman and singing her name instead.

The posts led to a storm of reactions from Kidman fans, along with media chatter about an alleged affair. Baugh did not comment publicly on the rumors, even after her father initially told the Daily Mail he “didn’t know one way or the other” whether anything romantic had happened. The speculation was later shut down by a friend of Baugh, who insisted the rumors were “absolutely not true.”

Scott Collins has now come under similar scrutiny after posting a video echoing the style of Baugh’s earlier posts. In the clip, which showcased her on-stage duet with Urban, fans again drew connections and started questioning the nature of their relationship. So far, Scott Collins has not commented on the report or the speculation circulating on social media.

Urban and Scott Collins were both present at last week’s Country Music Awards, though they arrived separately and did not appear together during the event. There is no evidence of a relationship beyond their professional connection on the tour, but the ongoing gossip reflects the heightened interest surrounding Urban following his split from Kidman.

As neither Urban nor Scott Collins has addressed the rumors, fans are left to speculate while both artists continue focusing on their careers—one navigating life after a high-profile breakup and the other building momentum in the country music scene.
