Kevin Costner Sparks Romance Speculation with New Outing

Kevin Costner, known for his role in “Yellowstone,” was seen shopping in Santa Barbara, California, fueling romance rumors. The 71-year-old actor was spotted at an Albertsons grocery store with Jennifer Milburn, a 40-year-old lifestyle coach, according to the Daily Mail.

The two appeared relaxed and cheerful, taking turns with the shopping cart down the aisles and in the parking lot. Costner dressed casually in white jeans, a white collared shirt, flip-flops, and sunglasses. Milburn wore cutoff denim shorts, a long-sleeve white button-up shirt, and brown sandals, with her blonde hair tied in a ponytail.

Milburn and Costner matched in white outfits and black sunglasses during their casual shopping excursion.

Aside from the recent outing with Milburn, Costner was associated with country singer Jewel in late 2023 when photos showed her sitting on his lap. However, Costner clarified on “The Howard Stern Show” in June 2024 that they are just friends. He mentioned the photos were taken on Richard Branson’s Necker Island and were unexpected.

“No, Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out ever,” Costner emphasized during his interview. “She’s special to me, and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship.”

Costner went through a divorce from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, in February 2024. Following Baumgartner’s filing for divorce in May 2023, the couple parted ways. They share three children: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace.

Addressing the divorce, Costner’s representative requested privacy for the family, stating it was a challenging time: “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.”

In the legal proceedings, Baumgartner raised concerns about child support and their prenuptial agreement. Ultimately, the former couple resolved to joint legal and physical custody of their children.
