Yellowstone’s Kevin Costner Clearly Isn’t Hiding, Lunches with New Flame Post-Divorce Hell and Jennifer Lopez Buzz

Images from Kevin Costner’s lunch with another woman have brought another dimension to his dating life after his 2024 divorce.

2024 wasn’t the most prolific year for Kevin Costner. On top of exiting Yellowstone following his alleged beef with Taylor Sheridan, the actor also underwent an acrimonious divorce trial with Christine Baumgartner. However, amidst his divorce from Baumgartner, rumors led many to believe that the actor might’ve found his match in Yellowstone fan Jennifer Lopez.

Although these rumors caught steam after the actor was spotted together with the Mother star at the western apparel store Kemo Sabe in Aspen, new images of the actor have introduced another angle to Costner’s dating life.

Months after he was spotted with Lopez, who was linked with him following the revelation of her love for Yellowstone, Costner was recently spotted with another woman, which has reignited the discussions surrounding his love life. Even though the woman in question, who was seen wearing a black cardigan with high-waisted bellbottom jeans, hasn’t been identified, this hasn’t stopped netizens from running wild with speculations (via Daily Mail).

While it’s possible there could be more to the story, given the mystery surrounding the woman and Costner’s previous stance on dating, it seems unlikely. For the unversed, earlier this year, a source close to the actor reported that the Horizon star is not eying a serious commitment at this point, stressing he is in” a good place and having fun with his family and friends.”

The report read (via People):

He is not seriously involved with anyone and not necessarily looking for anything more than that right now.

As for the rumors surrounding Lopez, despite her split from Ben Affleck, the actress was reportedly (via Daily Mail) not interested in dating a Kevin Costner type at this point in her life.

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly more interested in the likes of Rip Wheeler

Jennifer Lopez‘s obsession with the Taylor Sheridan drama was previously highlighted by Affleck, who joked, “I’m kind of disturbed by the fact that my wife really likes Yellowstone“. Although this led many to speculate that something might be brewing between the Dutton patriarch and the pop star, apparently, she’s more into Cole Hauser’s Rip Wheeler, which isn’t surprising given her fascination with Rip and Beth’s dynamic.

The source added:

She had a crush on Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone and wants a guy like that, someone who can have her back and make sure she is OK. She wants to be put first and made to feel special. Her life is a lot, she needs a man who can handle all that and still love her unconditionally like the way Rip love Beth Dutton

As for Costner, amidst the speculations surrounding his love life, which has only heightened since his messy divorce, the actor is currently occupied with the next installment in his Horizon saga, which is slated to release this year.

Yellowstone is available to stream on Paramount Plus (USA).
