Months after his heartbreaking divorce from longtime wife Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner seems to have found love once more. The Yellowstone actor is rumored to be dating singer Jewel. The couple was recently spotted together at a tennis fundraiser for the Inspiring Children Foundation on Richard Branson’s Necker Island.
According to TMZ, Costner and Jewel flew to the Caribbean together and spent almost a week enjoying each other’s company. This comes after the turmoil caused by Costner’s legal battle with his ex-wife. Sources say Costner was shocked when Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple had been married for 18 years.
“It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond Mr. Costner’s control have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action,” said a spokeswoman for Costner. “We ask that his, Christine’s, and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
Costner and Baumgartner tied the knot in 2004 and have three children together. Despite the fallout from the divorce, it seems that there is hope for Costner. TMZ reports that he and Jewel are in a relationship. Witnesses at the tennis fundraiser noted their flirtatious behavior and how they seemed to light up when in each other’s presence.
Jewel herself took to social media to acknowledge Costner’s involvement in the event. She described it as an incredible time to relax, rest, and play with her son, while also expressing gratitude to Costner for mentoring their youngsters.
According to TMZ, the couple returned from their Caribbean trip together. A source revealed that Jewel is “picky” when it comes to relationships and that she wants a good man, which Kevin seems to fit.
Despite the dark journey Costner has been through, filled with grief and stress, it seems that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. The actor has found love and companionship again with Jewel, and they are both excited to see where their relationship leads.
