Kevin Costner Reportedly Ignites New Romance After Finalizing Divorce

Is there a new woman in Kevin Costner's life? That's probably the question on everyone's mind, considering emerging reports of the actor's public sighting with singer-songwriter Jewel on a private island. 

The pair were allegedly all over each other for the duration of a tennis fundraiser in honor of the "Foolish Games" artiste's Inspiring Children Foundation, where Costner was a guest.

Two months after finalizing his contentious divorce with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, Costner seems to have found a connection with Jewel. 

Recently, the "Yellowstone" star participated in a pro-am tennis tournament on Richard Branson's private Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, where sources with direct intel made some interesting observations.

While one insider declared, "There was definitely something going on. They were flirty, and when they were together, it was like they both just lit up," another asserted, "You could tell they were trying to be discreet, but anybody who saw them could tell something was going on."

Informants further alleged that the duo traveled to the Caribbean together and spent more than a week in each other's company. During the fundraiser itself, Costner and Jewel teamed up for doubles with Sir Richard, who, according to the latter, "plays a mean game!" 

Additionally, TMZ mentioned that the supposed lovebirds flew back together, with one source telling the outlet that the "You Were Meant For Me" singer "wants a good man, and Kevin fits the bill."

Meanwhile, in October, the two-time Screen Actors Guild Awards winner was seen on a shopping spree in Montecito County, near Santa Barbara, California. During the outings, he visited Wunderkind and Jenni Kayne, both renowned for luxurious women's designer items, alongside a female assistant. 

Costner — who was captured holding what appeared to be a dress at one point — sported a loose-fitted V-neck sweater with rolled-up sleeves, white denim jeans, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and white-and-gray sneakers.

Per The Blast, the Primetime Emmy Awards recipient's shopping spree might have been to purchase gifts for his ex-wife, Cindy Silva, who celebrated her 67th birthday on Sunday, October 29. The "Let Him Go" actor and Silva were married from 1978 to 1994 before he later married and subsequently divorced Baumgartner.

As for how his latest divorce has played out, a friend of Baumgartner had to speak out after speculations of Costner and the handbag designer entering a "friends with benefits" arrangement following their separation surfaced 

Refuting the claims as false, they stated, "First off, they barely speak to each other, and secondly, she's moved on," adding that the mother of three is "staying strong and moving forward."

Besides being on the rebound, the "No Way Out" performer also reunited with his longtime music crew, Modern West band, as a way to let off steam from his split from Baumgartner. One month after finalizing his divorce, Costner shared glimpses of the band's rehearsals and performances in Yellowstone on his Instagram page. 

As it turned out, the group had reunited for shows at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The gig seemingly made the filmmaker look happier than ever, as he effortlessly showcased his guitar skills on stage, per the clip. He gushed about the performance in the footage's caption, writing:

"The band and I had a truly incredible couple of nights playing at @milliondollarcowboybar. I always love to be in Jackson Hole, where the hospitality is as legendary as this honky tonk's saddled barstools. Thank you for showing us a good time!"

Along with getting over 15k likes, the post also earned Costner praise from his teeming fans. One person commented, "Love your music so very much, and have always been a HUGE FAN of yours," and another pointed out, "I didn't know he had a band; this is new to me super cool."

"Love your songs. I listen to them daily. Come to Northern California, please," a third Instagram user appealed, as a fourth asserted, "I'm sure they all loved you and the band. It doesn't get any better than that," and a fifth raved, "So awesome! I'm so happy you are out and about playing your wonderful music! God bless you!"

Yet another viewer and fan enthusiastically said, "My dear Kevin Costner, you continue to amaze us with your talent... Congratulations dear.. God bless you, my Kevin Costner. I really love you."
