Keith Urban and Karley Scott Collins: Rumors have been circulating following his divorce settlement
There are rumors of a romance between Keith Urban and Karley Scott Collins just a few weeks after his divorce from Nicole Kidman, with whom he was married for 19 years, had been finalized.
A settlement agreement between them that was obtained by PEOPLE and filed on Jan. 6, shows that the former couple mutually gave up any rights to child and spousal support in connection with their two daughters, Faith, 15, and Sunday, 17. The agreement also provides that each party will pay their own attorney fees and other costs.
According to the parenting plan, the home of Kidman will be the primary residence of the daughters. The plan also stipulates that both Kidman and Urban “conduct themselves towards each other and each child” in such a manner that, “despite the divorce,” a “loving, stable, consistent and nurturing” environment is maintained.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Divorce: Their Agreement and the Signs of Separation
The divorce papers between Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman spells out the mutual commitment of the couple to safeguard their children from any discord. “Neither of them shall say anything derogatory about the other or their family members,” the pact reads. “They will facilitate each child’s love for the other parent and will keep both families as a place where the child feels comfortable.”
In September, a source told PEOPLE that Urban had “quietly set up his own place” and moved out before the split, with the source explaining that their “lives were moving in different directions.” The person added that it “wasn’t a secret among their close people” that they had been living apart for a while, and those who were with Urban thought the end of the relationship was “kind of inevitable.”
Some sources revealed that Kidman kept “throwing herself” at the relationship “to save the marriage.” At the time of the interview, she recounted to Harper’s Bazaar the kind of vision she’s acquired throughout the years, and how she has faced, as well as what she has possibly learned, from the hard moments.
Nicole Kidman on Walking Away with Wisdom after Painful Experiences
Nicole Kidman talked with Harper’s Bazaar about the lessons in life that have come with age, and particularly through the trials that have brought pain.
“With age, one thing I want is to be able to share and give to others the things that I’ve learned,” she revealed. “I have seen, I have felt, and I have survived a lot. I want to be able to spread some of that knowledge, some of that wisdom, and whatever I’ve learned.”
Kidman made the point that recovery can only come through living through the difficulty. “It is something that we always have in us whether the pain is of great magnitude, or we are faced with a loss, or we are dealing with our deepest despair, that there is always a way to get through,” she explained. “You’re going to have to go through it… sometimes you will think that the pain is so big that you won’t be able to handle it. You will feel as if you are cracked, but if you start by taking very careful steps — and it may take a very long time — it will come to an end.”
