Kevin Costner looks to have found love again months after his devastating divorce from his longtime wife Christine Baumgartner. According to speculations, the Yellowstone actor is dating singer Jewel; the two were recently pictured together at a tennis event for Richard Branson’s Necker Island’s Inspiring Children Foundation. According to TMZ, the couple flew to the Caribbean together and spent nearly a week together. This, of course, comes on the heels of Costner’s post-relationship court battle with the aforementioned Baumgartner.
Costner was taken aback by his wife’s decision to file for divorce in May of this year, according to insiders. The unfortunate situation deteriorated from there. In early May, Christine filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.” They’d been together for 18 years.”It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond Mr. Costner’s control have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action,” Costner’s spokeswoman stated in a statement.
“We ask that his, Christine’s, and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.” Baumgartner married Costner in 2004. The couple has two sons, Cayden, 15, and Hayes, 14, and a daughter, Grace, 12. Following Baumgartner’s lawsuit, she and Costner got into a fight, with the former being kicked out of the family home – as per a prenuptial agreement – and the latter being forced to pay $63,209 in child support.
Even though Costner’s road has certainly been a dark one, filled with sadness, uncertainty, and unnecessary worry, it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. According to TMZ, Costner is dating American singer Jewel. As previously revealed, the pair vacationed in the Caribbean together, and according to one insider, “there was something going on.” They were flirty, and they both seemed to light up when they were together.”
Not only that, but Jewel made a note of Costner on social media. “It’s an incredible time, and one I use to relax, rest, and play with my son!” she said of the tennis fundraiser on Necker Island, British Virgin Islands. @kevincostnermodernwest was kind enough to mentor our kids this year.”TMZ reports that Costner and Jewel returned together. Jewel is “picky,” according to a source, and “she wants a good man, and Kevin fits the bill.”
