Months after going through a painful separation from longtime wife Christine Baumgartner, it looks as though Kevin Costner has potentially found love again.
According to reports, the Yellowstone star has entered a relationship with singer Jewel – the two were recently snapped together on Richard Branson’s Necker Island at a tennis fundraiser for the Inspiring Children Foundation.
According to reports, Costner was blindsided by his wife’s decision to begin divorce proceedings back in May of this year. The whole sorry saga then continued to spiral downwards from there.
In early May, Christine filed divorce papers, citing “irreconcilable differences”. The pair had been married for 18 years.
A representative for Costner released a statement reading: “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.
“We ask that his, Christine’s and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
Costner and Baumgartner married in 2004. The couple have three kids together: sons Cayden, 15, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 12.
Another source added: “You could tell they were trying to be discreet, but anybody who saw them could tell something was going on.”
Not only that, but Jewel mentioned Costner on social media. Referring to the tennis fundraiser held on Necker Island, located in the British Virgin Islands, she said: “It’s an incredible time, and one I use to relax, rest and play w my son! @kevincostnermodernwest was kind enough to mentor our kids this year.”
TMZ also say that Costner and Jewel flew back together. A source told them that Jewel is “picky,” adding: “She wants a good man, and Kevin fits the bill.”
