At 68 years old, Kevin Costner has had his fair share of ups and downs in the spotlight. As a Hollywood A-lister, he’s no stranger to rumors and speculation surrounding his personal life. But last year was particularly challenging for the beloved actor.
2023 brought a wave of changes for Costner. Not only did he make the difficult decision to leave the hit show Yellowstone, but he also faced the news of his separation from his longtime partner, Christine Baumgartner. The divorce proceedings made headlines, leaving Costner in the midst of a tumultuous period.
After 18 years of marriage, the news of Baumgartner filing for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” came as a shock to Costner. However, as 2023 came to a close, it seemed that he was ready to move forward. Reports surfaced of Costner’s new relationship with singer Jewel. The two were even spotted together at a charity tennis fundraiser on Richard Branson’s Necker Island, supporting the Inspiring Children Foundation.
Looking ahead to 2024, Costner likely hopes for a quieter year, away from the media frenzy. But it’s no surprise that he captured attention once again at the recent Golden Globes. Costner took the stage with America Ferrera to present an award. Their chemistry and banter resonated with the audience, garnering praise online.
During their presentation, Costner made a reference to Ferrera’s impactful monologue from Barbie. The audience erupted in laughter as he recalled the empowering words. Mentioning the importance of the message, Costner highlighted the potential of powerful filmmaking moments that stay with us forever.
Fans around the world thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between Costner and Ferrera. One viewer wrote, “I couldn’t stop laughing with Kevin Costner trying to stay serious…and he’s aging so well! Go America!” Another cleverly added, “He put as much effort into that segment as he did into his English accent in Robin Hood!”
The lighthearted banter brought joy and laughter, creating a memorable moment for all. If you want to relive the award presentation, watch the video below:
