Kevin Costner’s Love Life Is Still a Mystery, Unless You’ve Been Watching Closely
Kevin Costner’s love life has once again become a hot topic. Maybe not quite as explosive as his exit from Yellowstone — but it’s definitely keeping fans talking.
Over the years, Costner’s relationships have drawn major media attention. The Field of Dreams star has been married twice, though his most recent marriage ended in a highly publicized divorce from Christine Baumgartner. Since then, speculation about his romantic future has been nonstop.
One of the biggest rumors linked him to folk-pop singer Jewel. Romance buzz began in December 2023 after Costner attended a fundraiser for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation. Photos of the two looking cozy — including one where he had his arms around her — quickly sparked speculation. Insiders even hinted at noticeable chemistry, claiming the pair seemed flirty and lit up around each other.
However, Costner addressed the rumors directly during a June 2024 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. He made it clear: “Jewel and I are friends — we’ve never gone out.” He also emphasized that he values their friendship and didn’t want rumors to damage it. While denying a romance, he did describe Jewel as “special,” making it clear he holds her in high regard.
But that wasn’t the only name in the rumor mill.
Some fans have even speculated about a possible spark between Costner and Hoda Kotb. Costner previously praised Hoda in an interview, saying she has “a spark,” which only fueled fan excitement. Her co-anchor, Jenna Bush Hager, has admitted that viewers have encouraged her to play matchmaker.
Hoda ended an eight-year relationship in 2022, and reports later suggested that Costner might be open to finding love again. Following his difficult split, insiders claimed he’s ready to move forward — and that his attention may have turned toward the beloved morning show host.
Meanwhile, as fans await the latest developments surrounding Yellowstone, they’re just as curious about what’s next in Costner’s romantic life.
