Jewel Kilcher, also known as Jewel, has been tight-lipped about her rumored romance with actor Kevin Costner. In a recent interview with People, the singer expressed that she has found happiness and love within herself, regardless of whether or not she is in a relationship. She mentioned that she is feeling more inspired now than ever before, similar to when she was in her late teens or early twenties. Jewel did not provide any details about her love life, but she emphasized her contentment and self-love.
In a previous interview with Elle, Jewel briefly commented on her close relationship with Costner, describing him as a great person. She acknowledged the intense public interest in their alleged romance, which began when they were seen together on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands in December 2023. The photos showed Costner with his arms around Jewel’s waist as they attended a tennis fundraiser for her charity, the Inspiring Children Foundation. Despite the speculation and attention, Jewel chose to keep her personal life private.
According to an insider who spoke to Us Weekly, Costner and Jewel have a high opinion of each other and share a deep connection. The insider revealed that they have been quietly dating for some time, with their relationship evolving naturally from their mutual love of music and their overlapping social circles. There is no pressure or expectations in their relationship, and both Costner and Jewel are taking things as they come. Costner, who recently finalized his divorce from Christine Baumgartner after a messy legal battle, is reportedly impressed by Jewel and sees potential for their relationship to grow into something meaningful.
Costner and Baumgartner, who were married in 2004, share three children together: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. Their divorce was finalized in September 2023, paving the way for Costner to explore new relationships, including his rumored romance with Jewel. The couple’s connection is said to be based on a genuine appreciation for each other and a shared passion for music. While they have not publicly confirmed their relationship, sources close to the pair believe that they have a strong foundation and the potential for something special to develop between them. As Jewel continues to prioritize her music and charity work, her personal life remains a private matter.
