Surf's Up: Kevin Costner, 24 Years Younger, Finds Love in Kelly Noonan Gores
Kevin Costner's New Love Interest: A 46-Year-Old Blonde Bombshell?
The 70-year-old Hollywood heartthrob is reportedly smitten with Kelly Noonan Gores, a stunning blonde beauty who just so happens to be 24 years his junior. Yes, you read that right - 24 years! The Yellowstone actor's new love interest is a mere 46 years old, while Kevin is still going strong at 70.
But what makes this relationship even more intriguing is the fact that Kelly has recently been making waves on social media with her athletic exploits. The 5'7" blonde bombshell loves to paddle board, surf, and wakeboard - all water sports, which she claims are her "medicine." Yes, you guessed it - Kelly is a total beach babe!
Rumors of Kevin's romance with Kelly began circulating last week, but insiders claim that the two have been seeing each other for a while now. A source close to the couple revealed that Kevin was spotted with Kelly at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Snowmass Village near Aspen over the holiday weekend.
"He has been trying to keep it under wraps because he doesn't want this to blow up in his face," the insider told The Scholarly Note. "But we all know how these things work - the media will eventually catch wind of it, and then there's no going back."
So what makes Kelly so special? For starters, she's a total outdoors enthusiast just like Kevin. They both love spending time in nature, whether it's hiking, biking, or simply taking long walks with their dogs. And get this - Kelly even has young kids, which is music to Kevin's ears!
"Kevin loves kids, and he thinks it's adorable that Kelly has them," the source revealed. "He's also been drawn to her carefree spirit and athletic lifestyle. He says she's 'just chill,' which is exactly what he needs right now."
But what about Kelly's past? Well, let's just say she's had a pretty high-profile relationship in the past. She was married to billionaire Alec Gores from 2016 until 2024 - that's a whopping eight years! The 72-year-old businessman made his fortune through leveraged buyouts of technology firms and even popularized the concept of SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies).
Kelly, on the other hand, has been making headlines for her social media antics. She regularly posts sizzling selfies in bikinis on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into her active lifestyle.
The photos often feature Kelly enjoying time at Lake Michigan or Malibu with her kids in tow. It's clear that she loves spending quality time with her family and reaping the rewards of her hard work.
But back to Kevin - what about his recent divorce from Christine Baumgartner? Well, it looks like he's finally moved on from the drama. The 51-year-old actress filed for divorce from Kevin in 2023, citing irreconcilable differences.
The bitter legal battle that ensued saw Kevin being ordered to pay a whopping $63,209 per month in child support - a far cry from Christine's initial demand of $248,000! And just to add insult to injury, she was also forced to vacate their luxurious $145 million beachfront estate in Carpinteria just two months after filing for divorce.
Fast forward to 2024, and Christine has moved on with her life. She's now engaged to financier Josh Connor, who popped the question earlier this year in January. Talk about moving on!
Meanwhile, Kevin is focusing on his career. His Western saga Yellowstone was a massive hit, enjoying five seasons before he left the show. He's since worked on his film series Horizon, which met with mixed reviews.
But don't worry - Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan has got some good news for fans of the hit show! He's working on several spinoffs, including one featuring Luke Grimes and another starring Kelly Reilly. And who knows? Maybe Kevin will make a cameo in one of them?
As for his love life, it seems like Kevin is finally taking a break from the spotlight and focusing on himself - and Kelly Noonan Gores seems to be just what he needs!
