‘Yellowstone’ star Kevin Costner shuts down romance rumors ahead of his milestone birthday |

As Kevin Costner approaches his 70th birthday, sources close to the ‘Yellowstone’ star have dismissed swirling rumors about a romantic link with Jennifer Lopez. Despite the recent speculation sparked by their meeting at an Aspen bar in December, insiders confirm that Costner is not pursuing any serious relationships.
All this began when Costner was seen chatting with Lopez during their chance encounter in Colorado. The reports have claimed that the two Hollywood A-listers have stayed in regular contact, with suggestions that Costner sent Lopez a thoughtful gift: a bouquet of her favorite flowers, a handwritten note, and a magnum of champagne. There were even whispers about plans for a dinner date when their schedules align.
Ahead of his January 18th birthday, Costner is focusing on family and spending his time post-divorce. In February 2024, the actor finalized his split from Christine Baumgartner, with whom he shares three children: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. He also has four adult children from previous relationships: Annie, Lily, Joe, and Liam.
A source close to the Horizon actor said that Costner is currently prioritizing his loved ones and personal interests. “He’s in a great place, spending quality time with his kids and close friends,” they said. “He’s not seriously involved with anyone and isn’t looking for a committed relationship right now.”
The insider also revealed that Costner has been enjoying life’s simpler pleasures, including the company of his beloved dog. “He’s old-fashioned in some ways, with a love for staying busy and diving into his hobbies,” they added.
Reports tying Lopez and Costner together claimed the two share a deep connection through their shared love of Hollywood and creativity. Some of the sources suggested that the Hustlers star and the Dances with Wolves filmmaker “bonded quickly” during their interactions, with Lopez reportedly drawn to Costner’s “old-school romantic” nature.
On Lopez’s side, insiders hinted that her inner romantic might find Costner appealing, describing him as someone who might even write and produce a film for them to star in together. However, representatives from both parties have remained silent, leaving the speculation to run wild.
It seems clear that Costner is focused on celebrating his milestone birthday with his family and living life on his own terms. Despite the romantic rumors, sources close to him insist, “There’s no relationship with Jennifer Lopez he’s simply enjoying this phase of his life.”
