Jewel Basically Confirms That She’s Dating Kevin Costner In New Interview

After Kevin Costner’s very public and very heated divorce, the world has been watching to see who he’d date next, and it looks like we have our answer.

The 69-year-old ‘Yellowstone‘ actor is reportedly dating 49-year-old singer, Jewel. You’ll remember, rumors of their romance first sparked back in December after they were spotted getting real cozy together in the British Virgin Islands.

Now, in a new interview with Elle magazine, Jewel briefly touched on the romance. She said, “He’s a great person,” and was reportedly blushing as she spoke about him. She added, “The public fascination is intense for sure.”

And we have to imagine it’s going to get even more intense now that she basically confirmed the relationship. Insiders claim it was Richard Branson who set them up…

Richard is 100 percent responsible for Kevin and Jewel hooking up. She has been a friend of Branson’s for years and he has been a close friend of Kevin’s since the 1990s. They hit it off well and Jewel seems to be happy about it.

It’s not clear how serious the relationship is. As mentioned above, Costner is just getting out of a costly divorce, so we can’t imagine he’s rushing to say “I do” again.

As for Jewel? Well, she’s been living the single life for a while after divorcing her bull riding husband, Ty Murray, back in 2014. They share one kid together. Meanwhile, Costner has three kids with his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner.
