Who Is Kevin Costner Dating? Yellowstone Star Reportedly Seeing Ex-Wife of $2.2B Israeli-American Businessman

Kevin Costner is reportedly dating Kelly Noonan Gores, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores. Is love in the air or smoke and mirrors?

Kevin Costner, 70, is reportedly “casually” dating Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, the wellness author, filmmaker, and ex-wife of Israeli-American businessman Alec Gores, whose current net worth hovers around $2.2 billion (per Forbes). According to Us Weekly, the two were “connected by friends” and have been “spending time” together in Aspen.

While insiders insist “it’s not serious yet,” sparks are allegedly flying over shared friend groups, mutual Aspen getaways, and occasional meetups between Costner’s Carpinteria beachside haven and Gores’ Manhattan Beach retreat.

They have been getting to know each other and seeing each other casually when they can.

This flirtation comes on the heels of Costner’s brutal split from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, finalized in February 2024 after a scorched-earth divorce battle. The exes, married since 2004, share three children and fought tooth and nail over prenups, child support, and lifestyle expectations.

Meanwhile, Gores quietly announced her own divorce from Alec Gores, the billionaire private equity magnate, adding another layer of intrigue to the Costner connection (per NY Post).
