Kevin Costner's New Love: How Kelly Noonan Gores Reminds Him of Christine
KEVIN COSTNER HEATS UP ROMANCE WITH NEW GIRLFRIEND KELLY NOONAN GORES!
The Hollywood hunk, 70, has finally moved on from his very public and messy divorce with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner after a year of drama-filled proceedings. But it seems Kevin Costner has found love again, and this time he's gone for someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to his ex!
Meet Kelly Noonan Gores, the 46-year-old blonde bombshell who has been secretly dating the actor. Sources close to the couple reveal that they've been seeing each other since late July and have a lot in common - including their love of outdoor activities like surfing! But what's really got tongues wagging is how much Kelly looks like Kevin's ex-wife Christine, with many speculating that he has a type.
"Kevin is dating and happy again after a very dark time in his life," spills an insider from thescholarlynote.com. "He has been seeing Kelly. They were together in Aspen in late July. He has tried to keep it very hush-hush because he doesn't want this to go off the rails."
But what really gets our attention is how much Kelly and Christine look alike - talk about a type! With their similar facial features and blonde hair, we can see why Kevin might be drawn to her. But insiders claim that there's more to their relationship than just physical attraction.
"She is exactly his type," says the source. "They have a lot in common: the outdoors, sports — she likes to surf — long walks with dogs... Also she has young kids and he loves kids, so he thinks that's cute."
This new romance comes after Kevin finalised his divorce with Christine back in February 2024 after a bitter legal battle that left both parties bruised. The former couple were married for over two decades, welcoming three beautiful children together before things took a turn for the worse.
Christine filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences, but what really sparked the drama was when she requested an astonishing $248,000 in child support per month! Kevin, on the other hand, was only ordered to pay $63,209 - still a handsome sum, but not quite as steep as Christine had hoped.
The animosity between the exes even led to Christine being forced to vacate their luxurious beachfront estate in Carpinteria just two months after filing for divorce. But it seems she's moved on and is now engaged to financier Josh Connor - who proposed earlier this year in January!
As for Kevin, he's clearly put his past behind him and is focusing on the present with Kelly by his side. The couple was spotted together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Snowmass Village near Aspen over the holiday weekend, but kept a low profile.
However, insiders claim that their romance has been going strong since July, with Kevin "loving every minute of it" and describing Kelly as "just chill" - exactly what he needs after his messy divorce!
It's clear that Kevin is smitten, but we can't help wondering... will this new relationship last? With his track record, you'd think he might be jinxed when it comes to love! But for now, let's just enjoy the juicy gossip and speculate about what the future holds for these two.
