Is romance in the air between Kevin Costner and Jewel?

The Oscar-winning actor, 68, and Grammy-winning singer/songwriter, 49, have sparked relationship rumors after they were spotted getting cozy last month at a tennis fundraiser for her Inspiring Children Foundation, according to photographs obtained by TMZ.

In the pictures, Costner was snapped with his arms wrapped around Jewel while sitting behind her as she stood and gave a speech to attendees of the event, held on Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.
