Kevin Costner’s Hollywood Career Has Stalled, But His Romantic Life Has Definitely Not

by

Kevin Costner has had a challenging couple of years. While dealing with a public departure from the show Yellowstone and disagreements with Taylor Sheridan, he also went through a divorce. His recent movie, Horizon, didn’t perform as hoped, putting the future of that film series in doubt, and he’s now facing lawsuits related to the films. Despite these career setbacks, reports suggest his personal life is improving.

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner announced their divorce in May 2023, following 18 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in September 2023, and both have since started new relationships. Baumgartner married financier Josh Connor late last year. According to Us Weekly, Costner is now dating 46-year-old writer Kelly Noonan Gores. Sources say they’ve been casually dating since the summer and are doing well.

Their relationship is very low-key and relaxed. After a highly public and costly divorce, he’s taking things slow. They meet up whenever their busy schedules permit, frequently at his home in Santa Barbara. They enjoy simple pleasures like home-cooked meals, beach walks, and cozy evenings together.

A source claims Noonan Gores is seriously pursuing the Bull Durham actor. However, it’s also been said that while things are going well, the actor isn’t interested in a long-term commitment like marriage.

Kevin Costner and his ex-wife seem to be on good terms. They have three children together – Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15 – and a source says they remain positive for the sake of their kids.

He’s happy for her, and he’s trying to keep things positive for the kids’ sake.

Another source claims Costner is actually upset and hoped he and Baumgartner could have resolved their issues. Despite appearing happy in his new relationship, these claims remain unconfirmed.

I’ve been hearing that Kevin Costner’s really focused on his career again, and he’s incredibly enthusiastic about what’s coming up! Apparently, he’s already thinking of 2026 as a fresh start – he’s even calling it ‘his redemption year,’ which is awesome to hear.

Last October, reports surfaced that Kevin Costner was developing a show about diving for lost treasure. Sources also indicated he had numerous projects underway, including potential documentaries, building a studio and soundstage for his Territory Studios, and continuing his music with his band.

Kevin is busy with several projects and is confident about his future success, though he doesn’t like to think of it as a ‘comeback.’ He thrives on ambitious challenges, taking risks, and exceeding expectations.

So, everyone’s wondering what Kevin Costner’s got up his sleeve next, especially with the whole Horizon saga being so up in the air. It’s been a rough few months for him, though. Just when he thought he’d dealt with one legal issue – that costume fee lawsuit last summer – another one popped up in December. This time, a stuntwoman is claiming there was an unscripted, and really disturbing, scene involving a simulated assault on set, and he’s strongly denied it, calling the claims completely false. It’s a messy situation, to say the least.

Following that, an article in The Hollywood Reporter detailing the issues on the Yellowstone set and Kevin Costner’s career created a lot of speculation about what he would do next.

The questions will likely remain, but it appears he’s doing well in his personal life and is also working to rebuild his career.
