Kevin Costner’s Flirty Comeback: How J.Lo Gave Him the Confidence to Date Again!

At 70, Kevin Costner is embracing his bachelor status with newfound confidence after a tumultuous few years. The Yellowstone star, who has recently experienced the emotional rollercoaster of a high-profile divorce from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, is reportedly easing back into the dating scene with a light-hearted, no-strings-attached approach.

Sources close to Costner reveal that the actor is currently not looking for anything serious. “He doesn’t want anything serious, not for now,” a tipster told Radar Online, adding that the actor has adopted a carefree attitude, “acting like a bachelor in their 20s.” His more relaxed dating outlook is no surprise, given the emotional toll of his divorce and the subsequent news that his ex-wife is now engaged to his former best friend, Josh Connor.

Despite the personal upheavals, Costner has remained in impressive shape for his age, and his charm still draws attention from a variety of women. “He’s in pretty good shape for his age and attracts the ladies, even the famous ones,” a source remarked. And one of those famous women, none other than Jennifer Lopez, recently seemed to take an interest in Costner at a star-studded party in Aspen.

A source close to the actor shared that his flirtation with Lopez provided him with a “buzz” and an extra dose of confidence. “It’s given him the confidence to get out there and date up a storm,” the insider revealed. The brief flirtation with Lopez appears to have served as a reminder of his once-wild Hollywood days when he was known for his player persona, a trait that reportedly played a role in the breakdown of his first marriage.

Costner’s first marriage to Cindy Costner ended in 1994, reportedly due to his affair with Michelle Amaral, a hula dancer he met on the set of Waterworld. Although his friends like to joke about his past relationships, they also acknowledge that the actor has been through a lot in recent years. “He deserves to have some fun,” one source added, pointing to the emotional strain of the divorce, Baumgartner’s engagement to his former friend, the drama surrounding his departure from Yellowstone, and the disappointment of his failed Horizon epic.

While Costner’s romantic life is currently lighthearted and fun, his friends and insiders note that he’s earned this phase after weathering some personal storms. As he continues to navigate the ups and downs of Hollywood, it seems that the actor is enjoying the freedom of his new dating life, with no plans to settle down just yet. After everything he’s gone through, it’s clear that Kevin Costner is relishing a well-deserved chapter of fun.
