Kevin Costner's relationships: An 18-year marriage, run of affairs, and seven children
According to sources, 'Yellowstone' star Kevin Costner and American singer-songwriter Jewel are reportedly dating, suggesting that he is seemingly moving on from his divorce from Christine Baumgartner. The singer and 'Yellowstone' star made a splash about their new romance on Friday, December 8, when Jewel, 49, was seen speaking into a microphone while Costner, 68, put his arms around her waist and grinned, as per TMZ. Before he was romantically linked to Jewel, the 'Yellowstone' actor was also rumored to be dating Elle Macpherson, Courteney Cox, and Carla Bruni, per The Sun. Here is a quick rundown of Kevin Costner's love life, starting with his marriage to Cindy Silva and ending with their divorce, fairytale wedding, and seven children with model and handbag designer Christine Baumgartner.
Cindy Silva
Kevin Costner first met Cindy Silva while he was a student at California State University at Fullerton. After dating for three years, Kevin and Cindy got married on February 11, 1978. They have a son named Joe and two daughters, Annie and Lily. Kevin and Cindy officially divorced on December 12, 1994. The former couple said in a statement at the time, "After 16 years together, we are ending our marriage."
Joan Lunden
In 1995, Kevin also briefly dated Joan Lunden, a former co-host of 'Good Morning America'. However, their relationship ended due to the media scrutiny during the 'Waterworld' promotion run and Kevin's divorce from Cindy. The 'Today Show' correspondent recalled to TV Guide, "It was quite romantic and quite beautiful," as per the Orlando Sentinel. Kevin also had a brief romantic relationship with TV reporter Bridget Rooney after his divorce from Cindy. In November 1996, Kevin and Bridget welcomed their son Liam.
Courteney Cox
There were rumors that Kevin had been dating Courteney Cox in 1995. In the end, the rumors of a brief romantic relationship between the 'Friends' star and the Emmy Award winner faded. Courteney eventually married David Arquette toward the end of the decade. She later starred in the action comedy '3000 Miles to Graceland' released in 2001 alongside David and Kevin.
Elle Macpherson
Kevin also had a brief romantic relationship with Elle MacPherson. It was assumed that the two were in a relationship from late 1995 to early 1996. The 'Man of Steel' actor admitted at the time, "I went a little crazy when we [he and Cindy] first split." But now, I have a special lady in my life and I am looking to settle down again. I feel I have met my equal with this beautiful, talented, funny and lovely person. Her name is Elle," he told Page Six.
Carla Bruni
Another model Kevin Costner was rumored to have been romantically involved with during his post-divorce dating life was Carla Bruni. Though the rumors trailed the couple for a while, they ultimately died off.
Christine Baumgartner
Kevin tied the knot with his second wife, Christine Baumgartner, on September 25, 2004. The two met while filming the 1996 film 'Tin Cup', years before they started dating. The couple share three children: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. On May 2, 2023, it was declared that Kevin and Christine decided to separate. Kevin and Christine agreed to a settlement and finalized their divorce on September 19, 2023.
