In a twist that’s got Hollywood buzzing, Kevin Costner is already off the market, just two months after his divorce. Let me tell you, this is the stuff of great drama. Back in November, the Yellowstone star met Jewel at a charity tennis tournament on Richard Branson’s Necker Island, and it seems they've been smitten ever since. A source close to the couple exclusively told Closer, "Richard played matchmaker and Jewel and Kevin hit it off instantly." The pair has been seeing each other quietly, swapping visits between her home in Colorado and his beach house in California. It’s still early days, but there’s definitely a spark there.
Life After Divorce: Kevin Costner’s New Beginning
Kevin, who just turned 68, was in the middle of a tough divorce from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, the mother of three of his seven children. But by September, the split was finalized, and now it seems Kevin’s ready to move on. The source says his new relationship with the iconic singer of “You Were Meant for Me,” Jewel, who’s 49, is exactly what he needed to put the divorce behind him. “Kevin is in a much better place now,” the source reveals. “He seems lighter, happier, and it’s clear this new chapter is doing him good.”
Christine Baumgartner’s Reaction: Surprise and Skepticism
Not everyone is as thrilled about Kevin’s quick rebound. Christine, who’s also 49, is reportedly surprised by how fast Kevin has moved on. According to the source, "She’s caught off guard by how quickly he’s jumped into a new relationship, but she doesn’t think it’ll last. Some might chalk that up to jealousy, but Christine insists she’s genuinely concerned that Kevin is rushing into something.” It’s a complicated situation, for sure, but life moves fast, and Kevin seems to be embracing it.

Common Ground: What Kevin and Jewel Share
For now, Kevin and Jewel are keeping their relationship under wraps. They both prefer to keep things low-key, and they have plenty in common to keep the connection strong. "They both love country life, horses, cowboys, and music," the source shares. "They can sit and talk for hours without getting bored. It’s a deep connection, and they both appreciate each other’s company." Despite the challenges that come with new relationships, especially after a long marriage, Kevin and Jewel seem to be navigating it well, for now.
