Jewel Breaks Silence on Kevin Costner Dating Speculation

Jewel discusses rumored romance with Yellowstone star Kevin Costner, calling him a "great person" in an interview with Elle. The public's fascination is intense. Costner, 69, and Jewel, 49, sparked romance rumors after being seen together on Necker Island last year. They attended a tennis fundraiser for Jewel's Inspiring Children Foundation. Photos showed Costner with his arms around Jewel's waist as she addressed a crowd with a microphone. The pair also posed in a group photo, wearing matching all-white outfits.

Soon after, an insider revealed they had been quietly dating for a while. Kevin and Jewel highly respect and get along incredibly well. They fulfill each other's requirements. The source revealed that their romance developed naturally through a mutual love for music. They both share a passion for his band, Modern West, and she is deeply involved in the country and western scene. The insider mentioned that they had been part of the same social circles for a long time before their relationship progressed. "Some friends joke about their surprising delay in getting together. There's no pressure or expectation now." Kevin wants to go with the flow, as does she. The consensus is that he's found a great partner in Jewel, and this could be something truly special.

Costner and Jewel started dating a few months after his messy divorce from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner was finalized in September 2023. They have three children together: Cayden (16), Hayes (15), and Grace (13). Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, surprising everyone who thought he and his wife were very happy. "He was completely caught off guard," a source exclusively told media.

Just two months after his divorce was finalized and a couple weeks before the photos of them together were published, Jewel publicly thanked Costner on social media for his involvement in her Inspiring Children Foundation. Late post. Every year, my foundation @inspiringchildren and I join @richardbranson on Necker Island to host a tennis event and raise funds for our kids. Players like @geniebouchard come and support us in playing doubles with the folks who come. It's an incredible time, and one I use to relax, rest and play with my son! @kevincostnermodernwest mentored our kids this year, and Sir Richard was his usual inspiring self who also plays a mean game of doubles!"
