Kevin Costner Sparks Dating Speculation After Warm Moment with Unexpected Star
Kevin Costner has sparked dating rumors after cozying up with former Today show anchor Hoda Kotb during Super Bowl 2025.
The 70-year-old Yellowstone star initially caught fans’ attention watching the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Pete Davidson. But it was a photo shared by Hoda, 60, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans that really set social media buzzing.
In the snapshot, Hoda is seen standing next to Kevin, smiling brightly. She captioned the post, “Oh what funnnnn!!! #superbowl #nolastrong,” accompanied by several other photos from the big game.
Fans were quick to speculate that the pair might be more than friends. Adding fuel to the fire, Hoda’s former Today co-host Savannah Guthrie playfully commented, “New couple alert,” while Jenna Bush Hager wrote, “We have been waiting for this moment!”
Social media users chimed in with compliments and playful remarks like, “You and Kevin — now that’s a Super Bowl win!” and “I think Hoda Costner has a nice ring to it!”
Hoda is believed to be single following her split from ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. The former couple share two adopted daughters, Hope, 5, and Haley, 8, who joined the family in 2019. Recently, Hoda mentioned she’s open to dating again and wouldn’t rule out trying dating apps, though she prefers to be set up by friends.
Kevin, meanwhile, finalized his divorce from wife Christine Baumgartner last February after 18 years of marriage. The couple shares three children: Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14. Kevin is also father to Annie, 40, Lily, 38, and Joe, 37, from his previous marriage to Cindy Silva, as well as Liam, 28, with former partner Bridget Rooney.
Hoda and Kevin weren’t the only celebrities spotted at the Super Bowl. Paul Rudd and Adam Sandler sat near Sir Paul McCartney, while Bradley Cooper attended with his seven-year-old daughter, Lea. Taylor Swift cheered on her boyfriend Travis Kelce but appeared less thrilled when the stadium crowd booed her during her big-screen appearance.
