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.
