Kevin Costner, the renowned actor and father of seven, has recently opened up about his aspirations for love following his divorce from Christine Baumgartner earlier this year. In an exclusive interview with Fox News at the premiere of “Horizon: An American Saga,” Costner, 69, reflected on his past relationships and expressed his hopes for the future.
“I’ve had two unique relationships,” Costner revealed, “and what I’m looking for now is someone who wants to feel loved and supported, where that love enhances their life rather than complicates it.”
Costner and Baumgartner tied the knot in 2004 and share three children together—Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. His previous marriage to Cindy Silva also blessed him with three adult children—Annie, Lily, and Joe—while he has another son, Liam, from his relationship with Bridget Rooney.
Despite his recent return to single life, Costner has found himself the subject of dating rumors. Addressing speculation about a possible romance with singer Jewel, he clarified on The Howard Stern Show, “Jewel and I are friends—we’ve never dated. She’s a special person, and I value our friendship too much to let rumors interfere.”
Reflecting on a recent trip to Richard Branson’s Necker Island where he was in Jewel’s company, Costner emphasized, “We have a friendship based on mutual respect and shared experiences. As a newly single father, it’s important to me to maintain meaningful connections.”
Known for his roles in iconic films like “Dances with Wolves” and “The Bodyguard,” Costner continues to balance his career with family life. He expressed gratitude for being able to celebrate his latest film success alongside his children at Hollywood events, emphasizing his deep-rooted ties to the industry.
As Costner navigates this new chapter, he remains focused on finding companionship that enriches his life and supports his family-first values.
