Nashville loves a plot twist, but this one played out without a guitar riff.
Just weeks after finalizing his split from Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, country singer Keith Urban has reportedly severed ties with his entire management team, including longtime manager Gary Borman, the industry heavyweight who has steered his career for more than two decades.
Urban’s partnership with Borman wasn’t just business; it was legacy. Borman’s roster has included country royalty and arena mainstays, making the split feel less like routine restructuring and more like a curtain call.
Another insider insists there’s no backstage scandal. Borman is said to be preparing for retirement this year, softening what might otherwise read as a dramatic fallout. Still, the timing raises eyebrows. Urban is currently on the road promoting his latest project, "High and A(Live)," making the clean sweep feel abrupt, even surgical.
The professional reset lands on the heels of personal upheaval. Urban and Kidman subtly finalized their divorce just over a month ago, closing a chapter that had long been one of entertainment’s most watched marriages.
As if that weren’t enough, rumor mills have been in overdrive. Urban was recently linked to rising country artist Karley Scott Collins after she opened for him on tour. Collins swiftly shut down speculation that the two were living together, dismissing the claims as “absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue.”
Guitarist Maggie Baugh was also briefly dragged into the gossip cycle, though sources close to her called the chatter baseless. Meanwhile, reports have swirled that businessman Paul Salem is “pursuing” Kidman, though insiders maintain she remains unattached.
The Blue Ain't Your Color singer, for his part, has opted for silence. No public autopsy of the marriage, no commentary on the management overhaul, no confirmation of any romantic subplot. Just tour dates, stage lights, and a freshly cleared inner circle.
