Kevin Costner, the celebrated actor and director, has recently addressed swirling rumors regarding his romantic life, particularly speculation about a potential relationship with pop icon Jennifer Lopez. As he marks his 70th birthday, a source close to the actor revealed to People magazine that Costner is currently in a good place, focusing on family and friends rather than seeking new romantic endeavors.

A year after finalizing his divorce from designer Christine Baumgartner, Costner is reportedly enjoying a period of personal reflection and connection with his loved ones. The insider emphasized that the “Yellowstone” star is not seriously involved with anyone at the moment and is not actively pursuing a relationship. Described as “cool” and “real,” Costner seems to be embracing a more traditional approach to life, relishing in his diverse interests and the company of those closest to him.

In a recent interview with Howard Stern, Costner took the opportunity to dismiss rumors of a romance with singer Jewel. He clarified that while they share a friendship, they have never dated, stating, “It is true that Jewel and I are friends. I do not want these rumors to destroy our friendship because that is what we have.” He went on to express admiration for Jewel, acknowledging her unique place in his heart.

As Costner navigates this new chapter in his life, he remains focused on personal happiness rather than the pressures of public speculation. With a fulfilling circle of family and friends, the actor appears content to celebrate this milestone birthday with an emphasis on meaningful relationships rather than romantic pursuits.
