Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have moved on from their 19-year marriage, but reports of just how far along the split has gotten appear greatly overstated.

Amid speculation that four-time Grammy-winning country artist Urban has moved in with Karley Scott Collins, the rising star in the genre decided to speak for herself.

"Y'all, this absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue," she wrote on a story posted to her Instagram account on Sunday with a crying-laughing emoji. The story contained a screenshot of an article regarding Collins, 26 and Urban, 58. The headline beneath a side-by-side shots of the country musicians read, "Keith Urban moved in with GF Karley Scott Collins? Fresh speculation amid divorce."

Karley Scott Collins denies Keith Urban rumor on Instagram.

Urban tapped Collins, a Florida-born actress and singer-songwriter, as one of the openers for his High and Alive Tour last year. Collins has been releasing country-infused singles and EPs since 2022, but came out with her debut album*, Flight Risk*, while on the road with Urban.

"Happy birthday [Keith Urban]!!!" she wrote on Instagram in October, in the caption of a picture of herself hugging the "Somebody Like You" singer on stage. "I am so grateful for the time we spent on the road with you and everything the boys and I had the opportunity to learn from you and your team... Feel so lucky to call you a friend!"**

Rumors of a romance have followed Urban and Collins ever since. But they aren't the only relationship rumors that have dogged Urban in the wake of his high-profile split.

In October, Urban scolded fans for "reading s--- into" his changing the lyrics of the song "You'll Think of Me," originally written for Kidman, to reference 25-year-old bandmate Maggie Baugh during a Nashville stop on his tour. ****

Kidman filed for divorce from Urban after 19 years of marriage in September. The couple shares two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, in addition to Kidman's two children from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.

Unlike other celebrity breakups, which can rack up multimillion-dollar attorney fees as they stretch on for years, Kidman and Urban proceeded amicably and finalized their divorce in January.

"They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent," reads the agreement, reviewed at the time by PEOPLE. "They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families."**
