Kevin Costner & Jewel Spark Dating Rumors With Virgin Islands Trip

Actor Kevin Costner and singer Jewel have sparked relationship rumors after recent photos captured them in an affectionate embrace. 

The snapshots show Costner, 68, with his arms wrapped around Jewel, 49, whose full name is Jewel Kilcher, as she speaks into a microphone.

Sources report that their romance is still in its early stages, and they have kept their relationship relatively private. However, the duo spent a week together last month in the British Virgin Islands as part of a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation.

Insiders revealed that there was a palpable chemistry between the two while they were in the Caribbean. Although they tried to maintain discretion, their connection did not go unnoticed by those around them.

Costner and Jewel reportedly flew home from their trip together.

So far, representatives for both celebrities have not responded to requests for comments about the rumored relationship.

At their tropical getaway, Jewel posted updates on her Instagram and expressed gratitude to Costner for his mentorship. She shared that her foundation, Inspiring Children, organizes an annual tennis event on Necker Island with Richard Branson to raise funds for underprivileged children. Jewel described it as an incredible experience where she could relax, rest and play with her son.

Costner was married to designer Christine Baumgartner in 2004. The two have three children – Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13. After 18 years of marriage,

Baumgartner filed for divorce in May. The divorce was settled in September after Baumgartner initially refused to move out of his $145 million home.

Jewel has been married once before to professional cowboy Ty Murray in 2008. They welcomed their son, Kase, three years later. In 2014, the couple divorced. 

News of the romance comes just a month after rumors that Costner was in a relationship with actress Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon’s representatives responded to the speculation saying, “This story is completely fabricated and not true.”
