Kevin Costner rung in the new year by paying a visit to the high end Western retailer Kemo Sabe on Wednesday… after supposedly spending New Year’s Eve with Jewel.
The 68-year-old actor posed for photos with Kemo Sabe owner Wendy Kunkle and ‘vibe manager’ Kate Valdmanis on Wednesday.
They also shared a photo of him scrolling through a digital playlist with Valdamis, which lead to many fans joking about his relationship with singer Jewel.
The post’s caption read, ‘When Kevin Costner comes in to Kemo Sabe, you let him pick the playlist. We don’t make the rules. Swipe to see Kevin consulting the perfect tunes with our Vibe Manager, Kate!’
While many fans asked what Costner actually played, Instagram user @havanimal said, ‘Please tell me he played some Jewel.’
Just days earlier, Jewel shared a snap from a performance at Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Colorado, not long after Costner was spotted in nearby Aspen.
While they weren’t spotted together in the state together, it is believed they did in fact spend the New Year’s Eve holiday together.
They were first spotted together at Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands over the Thanksgiving weekend in November.
The Dancing With Wolves star was on Necker island for a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation.
It was said that the couple flew together to the Caribbean and spent over a week hanging out, and that they both left together while never leaving each other’s side.
Her son Kase, 12, whom she had with ex-husband Ty Murray, seemed to be on the trip as well as he was seen on the beach with the star in her Instagram photos.
Jewel mentioned Costner when talking the fundraising event on her Instagram, saying he was ‘kind enough to mentor our kids this year.’
The relationship blossomed just three months after Costner became legally single, following his surprise split from his wife of nearly 20 years, Christine Baumgartner.
‘The relationship between Kevin and Jewel is fresh but not brand new. There is very big attraction on both sides,’ a source told People. ‘Jewel likes Kevin’s type and Kevin likes to be in a relationship, so this is cool.’
The insider added: ‘He is having fun after his contentious divorce. He is glad that is over.’
While their romance is just getting started, the source noted that ‘Jewel is independent and not into dating for the sake of dating.’
Previously, she was married to cowboy Ty Murray from 2008 until 2014 and has been linked to Sean Penn, Jean-Clade Van Damme, Charlie Whitehurst, Christopher Douglas and Colin Ferguson, over the years.
