Kevin Costner has been romantically linked to a string of women in the two years since his 2023 divorce from Christine Baumgartner, with recent sightings in Santa Barbara, Scottsdale, Las Vegas and Aspen fueling fresh speculation about the 71-year-old actor’s personal life.
Baumgartner filed for divorce from the “Yellowstone” star in May 2023. Since then, Costner has been photographed or reported to be spending time with several women, though he has publicly denied romantic involvement with more than one of them.
A Santa Barbara grocery run
Most recently, Costner was photographed shopping in Santa Barbara with a woman identified by the Daily Mail as 40-year-old lifestyle coach Jennifer Milburn. The pair smiled as they walked the store aisles and parking lot together, taking turns pushing a shopping cart. Milburn wore cutoff denim shorts and a white button-up shirt, while Costner was dressed in white with sunglasses. It is unclear when their relationship began.
Ties to influencer McKenna Wesley
Costner has also been spotted multiple times over the past year with influencer McKenna Wesley. The two were first photographed sitting together at a screening of “Field of Dreams” in Arizona in October 2025, and nearly a year later were seen having lunch together in Santa Barbara.
A source told Page Six the pair “met in Scottsdale about a year ago. They both love to golf,” adding that Wesley “has been his guest on multiple occasions at his Santa Barbara and Aspen properties.”
Sharon Stone denies a romance
In November 2024, the Daily Mail reported that Costner and Sharon Stone appeared “flirty” at the Governors Awards, with a source describing him turning on “his Kevin Costner charm.” Stone addressed the rumors directly in a December 2024 interview with Extra TV, saying, “First of all, I’m not dating Kevin Costner. I’ve known Kevin Costner for probably 30 years, and I think if we haven’t dated so far, we’re probably not going to.”
Jewel calls him “special”
Speculation also followed a TMZ photo of Costner with his arm around singer Jewel during a visit to Richard Branson’s Necker Island. Both said the visit was unrelated to romance — Jewel was there for her charity, the Inspiring Children Foundation, and Costner said he had finally accepted a longstanding invitation from Branson. Speaking on “The Howard Stern Show” in June 2024, Costner said, “Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out ever. She’s special — and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have. She’s special to me. She’s beautiful enough to go out with.”
A casual connection with Kelly Noonan Gores
According to People, Costner and casting director Kelly Noonan Gores began seeing each other casually in August 2025. A source told the outlet at the time, “Kelly is seeing Kevin, but it’s very casual. She thinks he’s wonderful and interesting.” A January source told Us Weekly that Gores has been “grounding” for Costner, who is “not looking for a serious relationship or marriage any time soon,” adding that the two often spend time at his Santa Barbara estate with “dinners at home, walks on the beach and quiet nights in.” It’s unclear whether the two are still seeing each other.
A Las Vegas sighting with Brooks Nader
Costner and model Brooks Nader sparked rumors after being photographed together at the Las Vegas opening of the social club Zero Bond, where both attended a VIP dinner hosted by Scott Sartiano, according to TMZ. Nader later shut down the speculation in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, “Oh my gosh. I am single. As of right now, I am single.”
