Kevin Costner’s dating life has been a hot topic ever since his 2023 divorce from Christine Baumgartner, which ended their 18-year marriage.

The *Yellowstone* star, now 70, has been linked to several women in the months following the split, including singer Jewel and, more recently, actress and global icon Jennifer Lopez. However, new reports shed light on the truth behind his latest rumored romance.

This week, Costner sparked fresh speculation after being spotted having lunch with a mystery woman in Los Angeles. The sighting led to a flurry of rumors about his potential new relationship.

However, according to *Page Six*, the woman in question is not a romantic partner but rather Costner’s longtime assistant and close colleague. The two were reportedly having a working lunch, and their meeting was purely professional.

They have been seen together on other occasions as well, including a recent outing to Erewhon in Calabasas, further fueling misunderstandings about their relationship.

In addition to the mystery woman, Costner has also been linked to singer Jewel. The rumors began after the two attended a charity event on Richard Branson’s private Necker Island in late 2023.

Their shared appearance at the exclusive event led many to speculate about a potential romance. However, Costner addressed these rumors directly during an interview on *The Howard Stern Show* in June 2024. “Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out ever,” he clarified, putting an end to the speculation.

While he admitted that Jewel is “special,” he emphasized that their connection was strictly platonic, stemming from meaningful conversations they shared during the group trip. The event also included other attendees, such as actress Emma Watson and several non-celebrities, further dispelling the idea of a romantic entanglement.

Meanwhile, Costner’s ex-wife Christine Baumgartner has moved on and is now engaged to financier Josh Connor. In contrast, Costner has kept a relatively low profile when it comes to his personal life.

Despite the constant media attention and swirling rumors, the actor has made it clear that he is currently single and focused on his family and professional commitments. Costner has always been private about his relationships, and it seems he is determined to maintain that privacy as he navigates this new chapter of his life.

While rumors about Jennifer Lopez also made headlines, there is no evidence to suggest that the two stars are romantically involved. Lopez herself has expressed a desire for a “regular Joe” as her ideal partner, someone grounded and far removed from the Hollywood spotlight.

This preference makes it unlikely that she and Costner are pursuing a relationship.

For now, Costner appears to be enjoying his single life while focusing on his career and family. Despite the endless speculation surrounding his love life, the actor seems content to let the rumors swirl without addressing them directly.

Whether or not he decides to settle down again, Costner remains one of Hollywood’s most respected and admired figures, both on and off the screen.
