Fans Say Kevin Costner’s New Girlfriend Is the Spitting Image of Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner
While many fans were glad to see Kevin Costner moving on from his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, some couldn’t help but notice something striking about his rumored new romance with director Kelly Noonan — the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores. According to fans, Noonan looks remarkably similar to Baumgartner, sparking a wave of side-by-side comparisons online.
From their blonde hair and radiant smiles to their facial structure — including similar noses and chins — the resemblance is hard to miss. And it’s not the first time Hollywood has seen this kind of déjà vu in dating. Gavin Rossdale’s girlfriend, Xhoana X, has drawn comparisons to his ex-wife Gwen Stefani, while Ethan Hawke’s wife, Ryan Shawhughes, has long been said to resemble his former partner, Uma Thurman.
Clearly, everyone has a type — and for Costner, that seems to hold true.
For context, Costner and Baumgartner finalized their divorce in 2024 after nearly two decades of marriage. They continue to co-parent their three children: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. Shortly after the split, Baumgartner began dating her now-fiancé Josh Connor — though Costner has claimed their relationship may have started before the divorce was finalized.
As for Costner and Noonan, sources say the relationship is still casual. “Kelly is seeing Kevin, but it’s very casual. She thinks he’s wonderful and interesting,” an insider shared.
