Kevin Costner Reportedly Dating Billionaire’s Ex-Wife

After a long and emotional divorce from handbag designer Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner may have found love again. Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023 after nearly 20 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Their legal battle stretched into early 2024, finally concluding with Costner ordered to pay $63,209 per month in child support for their three children—Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15.

Reflecting on the painful split, the Yellowstone actor told CBS Mornings:
“I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward.”

A Fresh Start

Now, reports suggest that Costner is moving forward with filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, the former wife of billionaire Alec Gores. The two were recently spotted together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Aspen, sparking fresh rumors about their relationship.

Insiders claim Kelly is “exactly his type,” noting her shared passions with Costner—outdoor adventures, surfing, sports, and long walks with dogs. Both also have young children, something that sources say makes their connection even stronger.
