Kevin Costner is now married to someone else after being married to Christine Baumgartner for 18 years. There were rumours that the actor and singer Jewel were dating after they were seen together at a charity tennis event on Richard Branson’s Necker Island.
Costner and Jewel are said to have spent a week together in the Caribbean, which has led to more rumours that they are dating. After Costner’s divorce, which included fights in court and a costly settlement, they went to the island.
Baumgartner asked for a divorce in May, saying that they had “irreconcilable differences.” They have three kids: Grace (12), Cayden (15), and Hayes (14). Costner’s rep said they were sorry about the breakup and asked for privacy during this difficult time.
As agreed upon in their prenuptial agreement, Baumgartner was kicked out of the family home after the divorce. Costner has to pay $63,209 a month for child support.
People who saw Costner and Jewel together say they were flirting and having a good time. Jewel thanked Costner in public for helping with the tennis event. People who know her well say she is “picky,” which suggests that Costner meets her partner requirements.
Even though rumours are going around, it’s still not clear what will happen with Costner and Jewel’s possible romance.
