“Kevin Costner Eager to Move On from Challenging Year Following Difficult Divorce”

Kevin Costner is feeling optimistic and ready to move on from what he describes as the worst year of his life.

An insider revealed, “Kevin didn’t anticipate how contentious things would get with Christine.”

However, “Kevin is looking and feeling great now that some time has passed,” the source shared.

Despite a few lingering challenges from his tumultuous divorce, “He’s eager to put this difficult year behind him and is hopeful about the future,” the insider added.

Kevin, who confirmed his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in February 2024, expressed regret over losing the family life he cherished, but he’s familiar with navigating such changes.

“This is his new reality, and he knows he’ll be OK,” the source noted.

A silver lining for Kevin has been his new relationship with Jewel, which has helped him rebuild and regain a healthier mindset post-divorce.

Earlier, a source mentioned that Kevin and Jewel’s mutual passion for music has brought them closer. “They have always had a high opinion of each other and get along exceptionally well,” the insider explained.

Their shared interests in country and western music and their mutual friends’ surprise at their timing only add to their connection. “It’s clear they check a lot of boxes for each other,” the source concluded.
