Age is just a number, and Kevin Costner seems eager to prove the same now that he’s reportedly back into the game.
Divorce is a tragically glum phenomenon, and the former Yellowstone star grappled with heartbreak not too long ago when he parted ways from his now ex-wife after nearly two decades of marriage.

But Costner seems ready to forget old (or semi-fresh) wounds with the balm of a brand-new sizzling romance, and he certainly has his eye out for the prize(s).
Kevin Costner is Reportedly On A Girlfriend Hunt
After filing for divorce with Christine Baumgartner due to “irreconcilable differences” in 2023 (via TMZ), Kevin Costner battled it out with her in court for months before their split became official in February this year. But now that the ex-spouses have put their relationship to bed, Costner is rumored to be on the lookout for a new beau.
An insider spilled the beans to Life & Style Magazine about the industry mogul’s soon-to-be resuscitated dating life, claiming how there are “so many gorgeous and eligible” actresses – who are no longer “off-limits” to Costner – that he could go out with.

The source added how nothing is holding the Horizon star back from pursuing Reese Witherspoon – who he’s been crushing on for a while now – and other Oscar-winning stars including Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock with his renewed status as a 69-year-old bachelor. But Jolie isn’t the only ex-wife of Brad Pitt that Costner seems to have heart eyes for. Add Jennifer Aniston to the mix as well.
He’s A-list, so there’s no reason he shouldn’t have an A-list girlfriend. He’s always been close to Jennifer Aniston, who adores him and would most likely go on a date with him in a heartbeat. There’s Sandra Bullock, who he’s known for years. Reese Witherspoon is single now and he’s always had a crush on her, there’s nothing to stop him from asking her out. And the same goes for Angelina Jolie, who he could easily get an intro to through his good buddy Billy Bob Thornton.
After breaking up with former CAA agent and her now ex-husband Jim Toth last year, Witherspoon and Costner – who’d also been in the middle of a divorce – had made headlines for sparking rumors about a potential romance. However, a rep for the Legally Blonde star told E! News that such scuttlebutt was “completely fabricated and not true.”
But you know what they say, never say never.
Hollywood is Kevin Costner’s Oyster (And Dating Pool)
While Costner – who played the Dutton family head in Taylor Sheridan’s legendary neo-Western drama for 5 seasons – hasn’t exclusively reserved the ‘girlfriend’ title for anyone yet, he has no qualms in wanting to date an A-lister actress anymore (via Life & Style Magazine).
He’s not setting anything in stone or obsessing over any one woman right now, he’s just really excited about the idea of throwing himself into dating full force. He’s done holding himself back, he’s totally opened up to the idea of dating a fellow movie star, and everyone in his world is cheering him on.

In a recent conversation with Fox News, the 2-time Academy Award winner revealed that he wanted to be with,
A person who wants to be loved and they want to be, you know … feel like they’re at their very best. And that love helps that and doesn’t hinder it.
Costner, who underwent his second divorce earlier this year, had previously been married to Cindy Silva for 16 years and has three kids with her before they went their separate ways in ’94.
After his split from Baumgartner, the Waterworld star was allegedly besotted with singer Jewel. Costner, however, denied any rumors about a potential affair between them. “We’ve never gone out, ever,” he said, albeit he admitted that she was “beautiful enough to out with” (via The Howard Stern Show).
