Kevin Costner's bachelor era: Actor sparks romance rumors with Jewel, Sharon Stone, Brooks Nader and more
Kevin Costner is living the life of a bachelor following his 2023 divorce.
After his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce in May 2023, the 71-year-old actor has been sparking romance rumors with a number of women, both in and out of the entertainment industry.
Most recently, he was photographed shopping in Santa Barbara with a much younger lifestyle coach, and prior to that had the internet buzzing with speculation he was dating actress Brooks Nader.
Here is a rundown on some of the women Costner has been connected to since entering her bachelor era.
Costner was recently photographed on a shopping date with his latest reported romance, a woman the Daily Mail identified as 40-year-old lifestyle coach Jennifer Milburn.
The pair were photographed smiling as they walked down the aisles of the grocery store and through the parking lot together, taking turns pushing the shopping cart around.
Milburn kept it casual in cutoff denim shorts and a white button-up shirt, while Costner walked the aisles in an all-white outfit paired with sunglasses.
It is unclear when their relationship began.
The "Dances with Wolves" star has also been spotted out and about with influencer McKenna Wesley a few times throughout the past year.
They were first photographed sitting next to each other at a screening of "Field of Dreams" in Arizona, in October 2025.
Nearly one year later, the two were photographed together again, while enjoying lunch in Santa Barbara.
One source told Page Six that "They met in Scottsdale about a year ago. They both love to golf," while another added that "She has been his guest on multiple occasions at his Santa Barbara and Aspen properties."
In November 2024, The Daily Mail reported that the "Yellowstone" actor and Sharon Stone were getting "flirty" with each other while at the 2024 Governors Awards.
"They started off polite with small talk then he put on his Kevin Costner charm, you know, like the vibes he gave off in Bull Durham and Tin Cup, like heyyyy baby," a source told Daily Mail at the time.
The source went on to say that it seemed like the two actors "liked each other a lot."
While rumors of a romance between the two ran rampant, Stone shut down any speculation when speaking with Extra TV in December 2024.
"First of all, I'm not dating Kevin Costner. I’ve known Kevin Costner for probably 30 years, and I think if we haven’t dated so far, we’re probably not going to," she told the outlet.

Costner sparked speculation he was dating country music star, Jewel, when TMZ published photos of the two of them spending time together.
In the photos, Costner has his arm around Jewel while the two were visiting Richard Branson's private island, Necker Island.
Both Costner and Jewel addressed the rumors separately, noting the singer was there doing work for her charity, The Inspiring Children Foundation, while Costner was there because he finally decided to accept Branson's invitation to the island after 10 years of saying no.
"Jewel and I are friends. We've never gone out ever," Costner explained on "The Howard Stern Show" in June 2024. "She's special – and I don't want - I don't want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that's what we have. She's special to me. She's beautiful enough to go out with."

Costner and casting director, Kelly Noonan Gores, casually began seeing each other in August 2025, according to People.
"Kelly is seeing Kevin, but it's very casual," a source told the outlet at the time. "She thinks he's wonderful and interesting."
The two kept their relationship mostly private, with a source telling US Weekly in January that Gores has been "grounding" for Costner, and that he is "not looking for a serious relationship or marriage any time soon."
"It’s very private and casual," the source said. "After such a public and expensive divorce, he’s being cautious. They see each other when schedules allow, often spending time at his Santa Barbara estate. They love dinners at home, walks on the beach and quiet nights in."
It is unclear when or if the two stopped seeing each other.
