Jewel is opening up about her rumored relationship with Yellowstone star Kevin Costner. In a recent interview with Elle published on Thursday, April 11, she described him as a great person. She also mentioned that the public interest in their relationship is quite strong.

Costner, who is 69 years old, and Jewel, who is 49, were first rumored to be in a romantic relationship after they were seen together on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. They were attending a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation in December of last year.

In pictures posted by TMZ, Costner was photographed with his arms around the waist of the singer of "You Were Meant for Me." She was holding a microphone, appearing to speak to a crowd. The couple also took a group photo together, both dressed in matching all-white outfits.

Shortly after the photos were released, we were told by a trusted source that Kevin and Jewel had been in a secret relationship for a while.

According to the insider, Kevin and Jewel have a deep admiration for each other and have always had a strong bond. They seem to be a perfect match for each other.

The insider mentioned that the couple's relationship grew naturally after bonding over their mutual passion for music.

According to the source, he is passionate about his band, Modern West, and singing, while she is deeply involved in the country-and-western music scene. They were part of the same social circles for many years before deciding to take their relationship to a romantic level. Some of their friends even joke about how they should have gotten together sooner.

The source mentioned that there is no pressure of expectation in Kevin and Jewel's relationship. They both prefer to go with the flow and enjoy each other's company. Many believe that Kevin has found something special in Jewel and their connection has the potential to be truly meaningful.

Costner and Jewel's romance began several months after Kevin finalized his divorce with his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, in September 2023. Their divorce was settled after a challenging four-month legal process. Kevin and Christine have three children together: Cayden, who is 16 years old, Hayes, who is 15, and Grace, who is 13.

Baumgartner surprised everyone when he filed for divorce in May. Their friends and family were shocked by the news. "Everyone thought Kevin and his wife were super happy. ... He’s been blindsided by this," a separate source told us exclusively at the time.

Two months after the actor's divorce was finalized and a couple weeks before the photos of them canoodling were published, Jewel thanked Costner on social media for his involvement in her Inspiring Children Foundation.

In a post on Instagram, she shared, "A little late posting. Every year, my foundation @inspiringchildren and I go to Necker Island to help host a tennis event with @richardbranson to raise funds for our kids. Amazing players like @geniebouchard come and support us in playing doubles with the folks who come..."

"It's a fantastic time for me, where I can unwind, recharge, and have fun with my son! This year, @kevincostnermodernwest generously mentored our kids, while Sir Richard, as always, was his motivating self and even showed off his skills in doubles tennis!"

Editor's P/S:

The rumored relationship between Kevin Costner and Jewel has sparked curiosity and intrigue. Their chemistry and mutual interests, particularly in music, have fueled speculation about a deeper connection. While the couple has remained tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship, their public appearances and shared passion suggest a strong bond.

It is interesting to note that Costner's divorce from Christine Baumgartner was finalized just months before the initial reports of his involvement with Jewel. The suddenness of the divorce and the subsequent emergence of this rumored relationship have raised questions about the timing and potential overlap. However, both Costner and Jewel have maintained a low profile, allowing their actions to speak louder than words. The public remains eagerly awaiting any further developments in this enigmatic relationship.
