Kevin Costner’s love life has been anything but smooth, and his most recent divorce in February 2024 marked another difficult chapter for the Yellowstone star.
With two marriages behind him, Costner’s romantic journey has been full of ups and downs—and now, rumors are swirling that he may have found new happiness with none other than Hollywood icon Demi Moore.
Costner’s first marriage was to his college sweetheart, Cindy Silva. Their 16-year relationship produced three children: Anne, Lily, and Joe. Interestingly, his second marriage to Christine Baumgartner followed a similar pattern—lasting over a decade and bringing three more children into his life. However, his split from Christine was far from amicable.
The divorce turned contentious, with both sides lawyering up and trading accusations.
Christine cited Costner’s constant absence as a major factor in their breakup. Between filming Yellowstone and investing heavily in his Western epic, Horizons, Costner was rarely home.
While Christine felt neglected, Costner was blindsided by the divorce papers. He later suspected there was more to the story, especially after seeing Christine spend time with their neighbor, Josh Connor, a California financier.
Costner reportedly believes Christine’s new romance with Josh began before their marriage ended, though her friends insist it only turned romantic after the divorce. Regardless, Christine and Josh’s relationship has moved quickly—they’re now engaged, and Christine seems to be thriving.
For Costner, the end of his marriage was devastating. He descri
bed the experience as “crushing” and admitted it hurt deeply. Still, he’s determined to move forward, focusing on his children and his own well-being. “I can’t wilt like a daisy,” he said. “I have to go forward and continue to be who I am.”
Despite the heartbreak, Costner hasn’t given up on love. Recent reports suggest he’s rekindled an old crush on Demi Moore. The two first met on the set of the film Mr. Brooks, and sources say Costner has been interested in Moore ever since.
Now single, he’s reportedly taking the opportunity to get to know her better, approaching things cautiously and prioritizing friendship before romance.
Demi Moore, like Costner, has had her share of high-profile relationships and heartbreaks. She’s been married three times—to musician Freddy Moore, action star Bruce Willis, and actor Ashton Kutcher.
While her marriage to Willis ended amicably (they remain friends and co-parents), her split from Kutcher was more difficult. Since then, Moore has dated younger men, but friends are encouraging her to try something new, and Costner—an acclaimed actor and director who understands the complexities of love and fame—seems like a promising match.
Sources close to both stars say there’s a real spark between them, and Costner is playing the “long game,” happy to let things develop naturally.
He’s not rushing and wants to ensure they build a solid foundation. Moore’s friends are reportedly supportive, seeing Costner as someone who could truly relate to her life experiences.
Only time will tell if this rumored romance turns into something lasting, but fans are already eager to see what the future holds for these two Hollywood veterans. For now, Costner is focusing on healing and new beginnings—with Demi Moore possibly by his side.
