After a challenging period following his divorce, Kevin Costner, 68, has found love once again. But wait till you hear who his new lady is – you might recognize her!
Kevin Costner and his now ex-wife Christine Baumgartner had a marriage that lasted 19 years, and fans were shocked when news of their divorce broke. Costner had always spoken fondly of Baumgartner, so the split came as a surprise to both the actor and his fans.
Reportedly, Christine had warned Kevin that she would leave him if he continued to be absent from home due to work. It seems that his absence was hard for Baumgartner, who wanted more time with her family in Santa Barbara. Sources close to the couple revealed that Christine wasn’t happy with the amount of time Kevin spent away during filming.
Kevin’s career had often taken precedence over his home life, causing tension between the couple. The success and excitement of his new project, Horizon, had diverted his attention away from his family without him even realizing it.
Christine cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce. In a statement, Costner’s spokesperson expressed the actor’s sadness at the circumstances forcing him to participate in the dissolution of their marriage. The spokesperson added that they wished for privacy and respect during this difficult time for Kevin, Christine, and their children.
Baumgartner filed for child support, seeking $161,000 a month for their three children. However, a judge in Santa Barbara ruled in favor of Costner, reducing the payments to $63,000 per month. It was seen as a victory for Kevin, even though he claimed there were no winners in this emotional battle.
Despite the hardship he went through, it appears that Kevin Costner has now found new love. There have been rumors circulating that he is dating singer Jewel. The pair was recently seen together at a tennis event on Richard Branson’s Necker Island, supporting the Inspiring Children Foundation.
According to TMZ, Kevin and Jewel spent nearly a week together in the Caribbean after taking a plane there. It has been confirmed that the two were indeed vacationing together, and something romantic seemed to be happening between them.
Jewel even mentioned Kevin Costner on social media, expressing gratitude for his mentorship during the tennis fundraiser on Necker Island. Sources close to Jewel say that she is a picky person when it comes to relationships and that Kevin meets her criteria for a good man.
It’s heartwarming to see Kevin Costner finding love again after a challenging period in his life. Let’s wish him and Jewel all the happiness in the world!
