Yellowstone star Kevin Costner’s new relationship with Jewel has everyone buzzing. Fans seem to love this pairing with the singer who grew up living on an Alaskan homestead with no running water or electricity, and the award-winning actor and director who is a cowboy at heart.
They were introduced by the unlikely matchmaker, Sir Richard Branson. He likely saw the similarities with both of these artists and realized that they would be a good match.
This has been quite a happy turnaround for Costner. Just seven months ago, Kevin’s love life was very bleak. The Field of Dreams star was blindsided by his wife of 19 years, Christine Baumgartner, filing for divorce. For many months afterward, they were involved in a bitter and messy Hollywood divorce that was finally resolved in September.
Now, Baumgartner has weighed in on her ex-husband’s new romance. What does she think of the person that the father of her three children is now dating?
What Does Kevin Costner’s Ex Think Of Him Dating Jewel?
After a year of hard challenges, Yellowstone star Kevin Costner seems to have found some happiness. His hard-fought passion project Horizon will premiere in 2024. Also, he has traded in his messy divorce for a new romance with the award-winning singer and songwriter Jewel.
But, what does his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner have to say about this new development in her ex-husband’s life?
According to The Daily Mail, a friend close to Baumgartner has revealed what Kevin’s ex really feels about Jewel. Firstly, his ex, who initiated the nasty divorce, called this recent development “bittersweet.”
Christine said she’s not surprised that Kevin has moved on so quickly, but he didn’t need to make it so obvious by wrapping his arms around her.
However, Baumgartner is reportedly “relieved” that Kevin’s new flame is not a “fame seeker,” and is a “down-to-earth person.”
Understandably, she is “happy for him,” but it is hard to see him move on with someone else.
Jewel And Kevin ‘Are Both Into That Cowboy Thing’
Kevin Costner’s ex Christine Baumgartner allegedly admits “in retrospect it makes sense,” how her ex and Jewel matched up so well.
They’re both into music, into that cowboy thing. What’s not to like about her. At least Jewel is a down-to-earth person and has her own thing going on.
Also, Christine has allegedly shared that Jewel is not a “gold digger.” Finding that a relief, she is glad that the singer has her own career and life, and is not about to “play mom to their three children.”
Jewel is mother to son Kase, age 12, with ex-husband, cowboy Ty Murray. Kevin Costner’s three youngest children with Christine Baumgartner are sons Caydon, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13.
