'You're not ready': Internet abuzz as Kevin Costner and Jewel's love story hits a hurdle as singer refuses to relocate

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Yellowstone star Kevin Costner and singer Jewel's blossoming romance seems to be hitting a rough patch, according to RadarOnline.

Despite their initial enthusiasm, the relationship is allegedly cooling down as the couple grapples with differences in pace and lifestyle preferences.

Kevin Costner and Jewel's romance faces hurdles

Sources suggest that while Costner, 69, is eager to dive headfirst into the relationship, Jewel, 49, is more cautious.

The geographical distance between them, with Jewel residing outside of Los Angeles, has posed a significant challenge. The "long-distance thing," as described by insiders, is reportedly taking its toll on their connection.

"Kevin and Jewel are still dating but she doesn't live in LA so they're doing the long-distance thing, which makes it tough — especially because Kevin wants to spend all his time with her," an insider spilled the National Enquirer.

According to reports from the National Enquirer, Jewel favors a more measured approach to their relationship, preferring to "take things slow and steady." Her reluctance to uproot her life, particularly considering her 12-year-old son, contrasts with Costner's desire for a more immediate commitment.

"She really likes Kevin, but she wants to take things slow and steady," the source explained.

"He would love for her to move in with him but she's not ready, plus her son is 12 and she's not uprooting the kid just because she's got a new boyfriend."The insider added, "Kevin's taking it personally!"

Costner's purported reluctance to visit Jewel in Telluride, Colorado, allegedly stems from his pride and desire for control. Insiders suggest that he prefers Jewel to join him in Los Angeles, reflecting a struggle with adjusting to a shift in power dynamics within the relationship.

"He has a huge ego and he wants her to come and be with him at his place," an insider revealed. "He's always been the one with the money and the power, so he gets to make the rules. But not with Jewel! She isn't impressed with his money or his stuff."

According to a source, the power dynamic has become "a whole new ballgame" for the Field of Dreams star, a source said. "He's having a hard time adjusting."

Interestingly, Costner's ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, seems amused by his romantic predicament. Baumgartner, who is reportedly dating Costner's former friend, Josh Connor, is said to find humor in her ex-husband's struggles with Jewel.
