Kevin Costner has his eyes on the horizon heading into the new year, following a whirlwind past few months.
The “Field of Dreams” star was locked in a contentious divorce battle with ex Christine Baumgartner after she filed documents to end their 18-year marriage in May.
In September, Costner and Baumgartner agreed to terms of a divorce settlement shortly before they were due back in court to establish who would be responsible for paying her almost $1 million attorneys’ fees.
Despite those challenges in 2023, Costner remained focused on his prized “Horizon: An American Saga” Western film series, and received a tentative two-part release date in 2024. The newly-single actor also appeared to catch the eye of Grammy award-winning singer Jewel.
“I kind of hemmed and hawed about all of it and kind of avoided it,” he told The Roanoke Times in 2014. “For two years, she kept after me to do it because she saw how much I enjoyed doing it. And finally, I said that I would.”
In addition to his return to music, Costner seemed to be feeling more like himself as of late and recently sparked romance rumors with Jewel after the pair appeared together at a charity event in the Caribbean.
The “You Were Meant For Me” singer was spotted cozying up to the “Dances with Wolves” actor in early December at a tennis event benefiting her Inspiring Children Foundation on Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.

Jewel, who was previously married to professional rodeo cowboy Ty Murray, specifically thanked Costner on Instagram for his help mentoring the kids at her annual fundraiser.
“The relationship between Kevin and Jewel is fresh but not brand new,” a source told People magazine. “There is very big attraction on both sides.”
They added, “Jewel likes Kevin’s type, and Kevin likes to be in a relationship, so this is cool. He is having fun after his contentious divorce. He is glad that is over.”
