Kevin Costner’s love life has certainly been a hot topic lately! Okay, maybe not as hot as the drama surrounding his departure from Yellowstone, but hey—we’re trying to stay in the present here.
Over the decades, the Field of Dreams star has captivated not just with his acting and directorial work, but also with a love life that could rival one of his Hollywood scripts. While Kevin has had two significant marriages—his latest to Christine Baumgartner ended on a rather turbulent note—his post-divorce chapter has become tabloid fodder on a near-weekly basis.
After a headline-grabbing split from Baumgartner in 2023, Costner found himself thrust back into the spotlight, this time for his rumored romantic ties to folk-pop singer Jewel. The speculation began swirling when the two were photographed together at a charity event for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation in December 2023. TMZ obtained a shot of Kevin with his arms around Jewel, and naturally, the gossip mill went into overdrive.
An insider close to the event didn’t hold back, noting that “There was definitely something going on. They were flirty, and when they were together, it was like they both just lit up.” That kind of chemistry doesn’t go unnoticed—not by fans, not by the media, and certainly not by eager matchmakers.
While many were quick to assume something more was brewing, Costner himself set the record straight in a revealing June 2024 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. “Jewel and I are friends—we’ve never gone out,” he said. But his response wasn’t entirely cold. He also shared that he found Jewel to be “special,” indicating deep admiration. “I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have,” he added, clearly drawing boundaries while still honoring the bond they share.
Still, in the age of viral whispers and fan-fueled shipping, the door—at least in the public’s mind—remains slightly ajar.
Meanwhile, another unexpected name has entered the rumor arena: Hoda Kotb, the beloved Today show co-host. Though there’s no concrete evidence of anything romantic brewing, Kevin had nothing but kind words for Hoda in a recent interview, even going so far as to say she has “a spark.” That’s not exactly nothing—especially coming from a guy who knows how to deliver lines that melt hearts.
Adding more intrigue, Hoda’s co-anchor Jenna Bush Hager revealed that viewers have been pushing her to play Cupid. In fact, many fans think Hoda and Kevin would make an ideal couple, particularly since she ended her own long-term relationship in 2022.
And apparently, the whispers have reached Costner’s ears. A source close to the actor told Closer Weekly in an October 2024 report that Kevin might just be open to exploring something with the Today star. “With his bitter split behind him, Kevin’s made it known that he’s back on the hunt for a new romantic partner,” the source said. “And he’s made it pretty clear his sights have zoomed in on also available Hoda.”
Whether these stories amount to anything more than just chatter remains to be seen. Still, Costner, at 69, seems to be embracing this next chapter of his life with openness—whether it leads to friendship, flirtation, or full-blown romance.
One thing is for certain: as Yellowstone prepares to return for its final season on November 10, 2024, fans are watching not only for the fate of John Dutton but for any hint of what—or who—Kevin Costner may be riding off into the sunset with next.
