Amid Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce, a new beginning awaits as the music star reportedly sparks romance with Yellowstone alum Kevin Costner.

It’s been a tough year for Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner as they have faced divorce battles in 2024 with their respective ex-partners. Now that both of them are single, it is time for a new chapter in their lives to unfold, and since it’s a new year, they might as well take this chance at opening up their hearts once again for a possible romance.

It seems like it won’t take long for both stars to move on from their past marriages as they have sparked dating rumors just recently. They have been spotted shopping together in Aspen during the Christmas holidays.

Friends of Jennifer Lopez reportedly agree with her dating Kevin Costner

Jennifer Lopez has expressed her love for Paramount’s Yellowstone, and as an avid fan, she was disappointed at Kevin Costner’s exit from the show. Somehow, this was a compliment for the actor, and he was reportedly flattered at Lopez’s sentiment about him, as per Life & Style magazine.

The outlet also shared that the music div a wanted him to know that she also adores Horizon: An American Saga, Costner’s self-financed movie that bombed at the box office. Still, the singer’s remark allegedly stroked his ego. According to the same source, the pair is possibly trying to find their common denominator and make this blossoming romance work.

Timing is everything, so there’s certainly a chance these two could make a go of it. Plus, pals on both sides think that J. Lo and Kevin would make a super fun match.

Lopez’s friends are reportedly fine with her dating Costner, who is 14 years her senior. Age is not a problem for most couples as long as they have great compatibility and chemistry, which we have yet to find out for Lopez and Costner.

Less than two years after they tied the knot, Lopez and ex-husband Ben Affleck decided to part ways last year. The former couple haven’t been on good terms for quite some time, and the public is very aware of their on-and-off relationship. Meanwhile, Costner and ex-wife Christine Baumgartner finalized their divorce in February 2024 after 18 years of marriage.

Hopefully, this year will be a blast for both of them and with the Latina star’s friends encouraging her to pursue this new opportunity, it only means that they see Costner as a great potential partner.
