Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner Spark Romance Rumors After Divorces

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Jennifer Lopez, 55, and Kevin Costner, 70, are at the center of Hollywood romance rumors following their recent divorces and a reported Christmas getaway in Aspen, Colorado. The two A-list celebrities, both fresh out of high-profile splits, have sparked speculation after spending time together during the holidays.

Lopez, who finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck several months ago, has long been a fan of Costner’s work, particularly his role in the hit TV series “Yellowstone.” Affleck previously revealed in a 2023 interview on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” that Lopez’s obsession with the show, especially a monologue by Kelly Reilly‘s character Beth Dutton, was a point of contention in their relationship. “I was disturbed over just how much she liked ‘Yellowstone,'” Affleck said at the time.

Costner, who starred as John Dutton III in the Western drama, has seen a career resurgence thanks to the series, which concluded its fifth and final season last month. The actor has since embarked on a new project, the “Horizon Saga,” a series of Western films. Lopez reportedly expressed her admiration for the first installment of the saga during her time with Costner in Aspen.

Both stars have recently ended their marriages. Lopez and Affleck’s divorce was finalized after months of speculation, while Costner’s separation from his wife, Christine Baumgartner, was settled earlier this year. The timing of their newfound connection has fueled rumors of a potential romance, though neither party has publicly commented on the speculation.

Costner, who turned 70 on Jan. 18, recently reflected on his career and personal life in a heartfelt Instagram post. He shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of “The Bodyguard,” his 1992 film with the late Whitney Houston. “This photo reminds me of how lucky I am to be getting another birthday,” Costner wrote. “We lost such a light when we lost Whitney.”

As the entertainment world watches closely, the possibility of a “Kennifer” romance continues to captivate fans. Whether the rumors hold weight or not, the connection between Lopez and Costner has already become a talking point in Hollywood.
