Kevin Costner: A New Chapter in Love with Ex-Billionaire’s Ex?

Kevin Costner is reportedly back on the dating scene ¿ just 18 months after his bitter divorce was finalized; (seen in May)

KEVIN COSTNER SPOTTED COZING UP TO NEW FLAME KELLEY NOONAN GORES - IS THIS THE END OF HIS HEARTBREAK?

It's been 18 months since Kevin Costner's messy divorce from Christine Baumgartner was finalized, but the Yellowstone star is finally ready to move on. Sources close to the 70-year-old actor claim he's caught feelings for Kelley Noonan Gores, a stunning director and author who's been making waves in Tinseltown.

The Oscar-winning heartthrob has had his fair share of rumored romances since his split from Christine, but nothing seems to have stuck. There was Jewel, Sharon Stone, Jennifer Lopez, and January Jones - the list goes on! However, insiders reveal that Kevin is genuinely smitten with Kelley this time around.

So, who is Kelley Noonan Gores? A quick Google search reveals she's a talented director, author, and host, who's also a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter, Riley. Her Instagram bio describes herself as "Mama, Meditator, Sports Nut," giving us a glimpse into her fascinating personality.

Kelley's love life has been a bit of a mystery until now, but it's been reported that she was married to billionaire Alec Gores for eight years before their divorce in 2024. As the two navigate their newfound single lives, Kelley and Kevin have been spending quality time together in Colorado - yes, you read that right! The rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains seems to be the perfect backdrop for their blossoming romance.

But don't get too excited just yet; a source close to the couple reveals that things are still casual between them. "They're not rushing into anything serious," they spill. With Kevin living in Carpinteria and Kelley based in Manhattan Beach, over 100 miles away, it's no wonder they're taking things slow.

Rumors of their romance have sparked a flurry of interest among fans and the media alike. We couldn't help but recall Kevin's recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, where he shut down rumors about dating Jewel by confirming they were just friends. "She's special to me," he gushed, adding that he didn't want their friendship to be ruined by false reports.

And if you thought that was the end of it all, think again! Kevin was also spotted mingling with Jennifer Lopez in Aspen back in December, leaving fans wondering if they had a secret connection. But according to insiders, those sparks were just friendly banter - nothing more.

Meanwhile, Kelley has been keeping a low profile since her divorce from Alec Gores last year. As the two navigate their separate lives, it seems she's found someone new to share experiences with - and that someone is none other than the dashing Kevin Costner.

Only time will tell, but for now, let's just say we're excited to see where things go. After all, as Kevin so aptly put it in his recent interview, "She's special" - and we couldn't agree more!
