Kevin Costner’s Dating Life Is Reportedly Heating up Again After Making This Mistake With Jewel
Kevin Costner might be one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors after his 2023 divorce from Christine Baumgartner after 19 years of marriage. The 69-year-old actor had a rumored, but not confirmed, romance with Jewel, but it appears he wants to do things differently in his dating life right now.
Costner is reportedly enjoying his time as a single man and “is having some good rebound fun,” according to a Life & Style source. He’s making sure his dates are “trusted and vetted by friends,” which is always a solid dating plan for anyone. Still, it seems that “he learned his lesson getting too carried away like he did with Jewel,” so that’s why the Horizon: An American Saga star wants to keep things breezy for now.

A reporter at Entertainment Tonight tried hard to fix him up with Today‘s Hoda Kotb after they had a cute flirtation when he appeared on the morning show in June. He didn’t seem open to the idea, not because of Kotb, but because he was resistant to making his dating life a hot topic of conversation.
“Well look, I’m not on a national dating service. I appreciate the goodwill,” Costner said firmly, but nicely in mid-October. “She’s been great to me. When I go back there … people treat me well. They treat me good. And she’s got a spark, and we’ve never had coffee together.”
Costner even downplayed his former rumored relationship with Jewel during a June 18 appearance on Sirius XM’s The Howard Stern Show. “Jewel and I are friends,” Costner explained. “We’ve never gone out, ever. She’s fantastic, she’s special, and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have. She’s special… She’s everything you might think, but it just hasn’t happened.” He believes that it was convenient to put them together after their December 2023 charity event on Necker Island — but those photos showed them looking rather cozy.
No matter what the real story is, Costner is trying to keep his dating life on the down low and away from the Hollywood spotlight. Give the man his privacy!
