“Jewel, 51, shows off muscular body after new exercise routine… following ‘romance’ with Kevin Costner”
Jewel, 51, Flaunts Toned Physique After Embracing Weight Training — Months After Kevin Costner Dating Buzz
Singer-songwriter Jewel is proudly showing off the results of her new fitness routine. The 51-year-old star recently shared a mirror selfie in a sleek black bathing suit, revealing a noticeably more muscular physique thanks to weightlifting.
Known for her soulful ’90s hits like Who Will Save Your Soul and Foolish Games, Jewel looks stronger and slimmer than ever. The photo was posted to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, capturing her standing in a bathroom and confidently posing for the camera.
Jewel, originally from Utah, appears to be thriving both physically and personally. Over the summer, she was spotted attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s high-profile wedding in Italy, looking radiant after what many fans have called a “glow-up” makeover.
The Grammy-nominated artist first rose to fame in 1995 with her debut album Pieces of You, which went on to sell over 12 million copies globally. Over the years, she continued her success with hits like You Were Meant for Me, Standing Still, Intuition, and Again and Again.
In late 2023, Jewel made headlines when she was linked to Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner. The two were seen together at a charity tennis event on Necker Island, sparking rumors of a romance. While speculation swirled, Costner later clarified during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show that the two are friends — though he praised Jewel for her intelligence and beauty.
Jewel also addressed the rumors in a profile for Elle, calling Costner a “great person” but keeping further details private.
Earlier this year, Jewel found herself in the spotlight for a different reason — her performance at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” Inaugural Ball. The event sparked controversy due to Kennedy’s political affiliations, particularly his role in Donald Trump’s administration as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
In response to backlash, Jewel posted a heartfelt video apology on Instagram, explaining that her decision to perform was driven by her longtime advocacy for mental health awareness.
“As many of you know, I’m a mental health advocate,” she said. “Mental health affects everyone — regardless of political affiliation.” She emphasized that while she doesn’t agree with all political views, she saw the opportunity to influence policy and raise awareness as too important to pass up.
“If I wait until everything is perfect to participate, I’ll never act,” she explained. “It’s because things are imperfect that we have to find ways to get involved and push for change now.”
Jewel closed by reiterating her commitment to helping make mental health a priority on the national agenda, even in complex political landscapes.
