Kevin Costner’s New Girlfriend Bears Striking Resemblance to Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner

Kevin Costner’s New Girlfriend Kelly Noonan Draws Comparisons to Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner

Kevin Costner’s new romance is turning heads — not just for the relationship itself, but for how much his new girlfriend resembles his ex-wife.

The 70-year-old actor is now dating Kelly Noonan, 46, who bears a striking resemblance to Costner’s former spouse, Christine Baumgartner. Recent photos of the couple sparked comparisons between the two women, both blonde and sharing similar facial features. Notably, both are also two decades younger than Costner.

Costner was married to Baumgartner, now 51, from 2004 until their divorce was finalized in June 2024, following a year-long legal battle. During their 20-year marriage, they welcomed three children together — sons Cayden, 18, and Hayes, 16, and daughter Grace, 15.

The “Horizon” actor also has four older children from previous relationships.

Since the split, Baumgartner has moved on with financier Josh Connor. Costner, meanwhile, was briefly rumored to be involved with singer Jewel. However, he clarified during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show that the two are simply friends who have “never gone out.” Jewel later addressed the speculation, calling the public’s curiosity “intense,” while keeping details of their connection vague.

As for Noonan, she is the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores. Sources close to the new couple say Costner and Noonan are currently keeping things casual.

“They were introduced by mutual friends and are getting to know each other,” one insider shared, noting the relationship isn’t “serious” yet. “They both spend time in Aspen and have overlapping social circles.”

Though Costner is based in Carpinteria, California, and Noonan lives about 100 miles away in Manhattan Beach, the two recently spent time together in Colorado.
