Kevin Costner’s Attempt to Woo Jewel: A Major Misstep

Kevin Costner’s love life continues to be a hot topic in Hollywood, and insiders believe he’s not finished trying to romance singer Jewel.

The 70-year-old actor told Howard Stern in June 2024 that he and the 54-year-old singer are just “friends” and have “never gone out.” “She’s fantastic, she’s special, and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have. She’s special… She’s everything you might think, but it just hasn’t happened,” he said. However, a source claims that Costner did make a move to date the “Foolish Games” singer. “Kevin’s biggest miscalculation in trying to win over Jewel is not realizing that she isn’t done focusing on herself, and she’s definitely not interested in being arm candy,” the insider explained, noting that Jewel remains deeply committed to “her music career and songwriting.”

Costner’s A-list lifestyle likely doesn’t mesh well with someone so dedicated to her career, which may explain why she hasn’t agreed to date him. “He would have loved to collaborate with her and even pursue a relationship, but he’s had to accept that, for now, he’s her number one fan because she still has many mountains to climb on her own,” the source added.

Rumors about their connection first emerged in November 2023 when they were seen getting close at a charity tennis tournament on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. “Kevin looked handsome, tan, and fit. All the guests were buzzing about him,” an eyewitness shared in December 2023. “He really hit it off with Jewel.”

Jewel remained tight-lipped about the romance during an April 2024 interview. When asked, she said, “He’s a great person… the public fascination is intense for sure.” Observers noted that she “blushed” while speaking about Costner, hinting that there may have been some flirtation.

Since the rumors about Jewel surfaced, Costner has also attracted attention from Hoda Kotb, Jennifer Lopez, and Sharon Stone. However, no one has officially captured his heart since his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in February 2024.
