Kevin Costner is ready to jump back into the dating game after his divorce from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner. After 18 years of marriage, Baumgartner, 50, filed for divorce in May of 2023. Things got messy in terms of the child support that she asked for from the actor. But after a few months of legalities, the ex-couple went their separate ways.
While Baumgartner was quick to jump into another relationship right after the divorce was finalized, Costner took it slow. He was seen with singer Jewel a couple of times early this year, but allegedly, they are just good friends, and she has been a great support to him since the divorce. However, as stated by sources close to both parties, they are not dating. But looks like the Bodyguard fame might have someone in mind to fill the empty space next to him.
Kevin Costner Allegedly Believes Sandra Bullock Would Be The Perfect Partner For Him
Sandra Bullock is an industry sweetheart who lost her partner, Bryan Randall, to ALS last year following a private, 3-year battle. The couple had been together for close to a decade, and she loved him very much. His death was a hard pill to swallow for the Oscar-winning actress, but she is slowly coming out of that haze. Rumor has it she is ready to open herself back up but is being cautious, taking her time with it.
And Kevin Costner thinks she would be the perfect partner for him. She is a brilliant woman who is both emotionally and financially independent. After his ex-wife tried to ruin him financially, he wants to be with someone who has her own money and would not come for his. An insider spoke to Life&Style exclusively, revealing:
Kevin and everybody around him know that a relationship with Sandra would solve a lot of problems for him. She exactly fits what Kevin is looking for — she’s smart, she’s self-made and she’s incredibly wealthy.
These two Hollywood elites getting together would be a sight for sore eyes for fans of both celebs. Both Costner and Bullock are adored by the audience, and seeing them side by side might not be a bad idea.
Kevin Costner’s Ego Is Proving To Be The Biggest Hurdle
Kevin Costner is turning 70 this year and has already been through two marriages. While sources say he wants to be in a relationship, there are certain things that might pose difficulties for him. Sandra Bullock has always been very easy and approachable, and while Costner is in no way a diva, he does have his moments.
Being considered a sex symbol at 70 does that to a person, we suppose. But Costner has always been one of the most fashionable and good-looking actors in Hollywood, and we cannot deny that. Further talking to Life&Style, the insider said:
Sandra is a naturally humble person who has never considered herself to be a ‘hot girl,’ but Kevin loves that he’s still a sex symbol against all odds, soaking up the spotlight in Cannes earlier this year.
Hopefully, his ego doesn’t come between what could potentially be a fairy tale romance for two of Hollywood’s most beloved personalities. We can only keep our fingers crossed and our eyes and ears peeled for any update on that front.
