A source claims Kevin Costner is romantically involved with a billionaire’s former partner
Kevin Costner has turned the page on a difficult chapter in his personal life, finding happiness again after his painful divorce from Christine Baumgartner. The split marked the end of nearly 20 years of marriage.
In May 2023, Baumgartner, a handbag designer, filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. What followed was a lengthy legal battle that finally concluded in February 2024.
As part of the settlement, the Yellowstone actor was ordered to pay $63,209 monthly in child support for the couple’s three children—Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15.
Costner admitted the breakup was “a crushing moment” in his life. In an interview with CBS Mornings, he explained that while the pain was deep, he needed to stay strong for his children. “I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward,” he said.
Now, reports suggest the actor has found new love with filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, who was previously married to billionaire Alec Gores.
The two were recently spotted together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Aspen, sparking widespread speculation that they are romantically involved.
Insiders say Kelly fits seamlessly into Costner’s world, sharing his passion for outdoor activities, surfing, sports, and long walks with dogs. With both having children of their own, those close to the couple believe their shared values make the connection especially meaningful.
