Kevin Costner Reportedly Trying to Reconnect With Ex Amid Rumored Interest in Jewel

Kevin Costner Reportedly Struggling After Split With Jewel, Rumored to Be Trying to Win Her Back

Kevin Costner, the acclaimed Yellowstone actor and Hollywood icon, is reportedly having a difficult time moving on from his rumored ex-girlfriend, singer Jewel. Despite his successful career, recent reports suggest that Costner may be facing personal struggles, particularly in the aftermath of his divorce and the alleged end of his brief romance with the Grammy-nominated artist.

Following his split from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, Costner was rumored to have started a relationship with Jewel. Although both stars publicly downplayed the rumors, with Costner insisting they were “just friends,” many believed there was a deeper connection. Insiders now claim that Jewel has since distanced herself from the actor — a move that reportedly left Costner heartbroken.

Sources close to the actor suggest that Costner had strong hopes for a future with Jewel and that the apparent breakup has hit him hard. According to reports, he has even made several late-night phone calls to the singer, possibly under the influence, in what friends describe as a desperate effort to reconnect.

“He’s not used to rejection,” a source shared. “After everything that’s happened — his wife leaving him, and his film Horizon not performing well — this situation with Jewel has taken a toll on him. His friends think these calls are embarrassing, but he seems to believe there’s still a chance.”

The insider noted that while it’s understandable that Costner may be feeling vulnerable after a difficult year, these late-night calls may not be helping his case. “He’s still charming, but this isn’t the version of himself people are used to seeing. It’s been a blow to his confidence.”

Costner’s recent challenges include the critical and commercial disappointment of Horizon: An American Saga, a self-financed passion project he had hoped would mark a high point in his career. Instead, coupled with personal turmoil, it has become another source of frustration for the veteran actor.

Jewel, for her part, has maintained a graceful and friendly stance when asked about her connection to Costner. The 50-year-old singer referred to him as “a great person” and acknowledged the intense public curiosity surrounding their rumored relationship. While neither has confirmed a romantic involvement, fans remain intrigued.

As both stars navigate their personal journeys, many are hopeful that they each find peace and happiness — whether together or apart.
