After a highly publicized and painful divorce, Kevin Costner appears to have decided that he is not ready to give up on romance just yet. The 71-year-old Hollywood actor has increasingly been spotted in the company of beautiful women, and the list of his potential romantic interests is beginning to look like an impressive Hollywood cast.
The latest woman to be linked to Costner is 40-year-old lifestyle coach Jennifer Milburn. In early September, the actor was photographed with the blonde in Santa Barbara while the pair were doing some grocery shopping. They were seen walking through a supermarket parking lot with a cart filled with steaks, vegetables, grapefruit juice and cereal, essentially everything needed for a cozy dinner at home and a lazy morning afterward.
However, it was not the groceries that caught people’s attention. According to reports from those who saw the pair, Costner and Milburn appeared to be “very affectionate” toward each other. Their relaxed behavior and apparent chemistry naturally sparked speculation that there could be more than friendship between them.
Still, Costner does not seem to be in any particular hurry to turn his latest romance into a serious relationship.
Just one month earlier, the actor had been linked to another blonde, 39-year-old lifestyle influencer McKenna Wesley. The two were first spotted together in October 2025 at a screening of Costner’s classic film Field of Dreams in Scottsdale, Arizona.
For a man who unexpectedly became one of Hollywood’s most talked-about single men following his divorce, the choice of movie seemed almost symbolic. According to sources, Costner is currently enjoying what they describe as the “dating game,” rather than looking for another marriage right away.
And, according to people familiar with the actor’s personal life, he has little reason to rush.
“He has dated a lot of women since his divorce, but most of them, as far as I know, have been women around his age. He isn’t one of those Hollywood men who, at his age, goes after 20-year-old girls. He’s an old-fashioned gentleman,” one source claimed.
The same source suggested that marriage is not currently high on Costner’s list of priorities.
“I don’t think he’s in a hurry to get married again. At least, that’s the impression he gives. If he’s dating different women now, it’s simply because he can afford to,” the source said.
Costner’s love life has attracted considerable attention since his split from Christine Baumgartner, his wife of 18 years. Following their divorce, rumors connected the actor to a number of famous women. Among the names that have circulated in connection with him are Sharon Stone, Jewel, Jennifer Lopez, January Jones, Kelly Noonan Gores and model Brooks Nader.
The actor reportedly began dating again relatively soon after his marriage ended.
“He started dating again about four or five months after separating from Christine, so maybe that’s when his reputation as a ladies’ man began,” the source explained. “But that’s a little unfair.”
Indeed, it is difficult to argue that Costner has been lacking attention from women. At 71, the actor remains one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars, with decades of successful films behind him and a career that has made him both wealthy and internationally famous.
“He’s handsome, he’s rich, he’s successful, he’s Kevin Costner. Of course women are attracted to him,” the insider added.
Despite the rumors surrounding his recent dating life, people close to the actor reportedly do not believe that he has completely closed the door on marriage.
Costner’s divorce from Baumgartner was particularly difficult and attracted significant media attention. The former couple had been together for many years, and their separation eventually involved disputes over finances and support. After going through such a complicated breakup, it would be understandable if Costner wanted to avoid another serious commitment.
Yet those close to him say that he has not stopped believing in love.
“He went through terrible divorces and had to pay his former wives huge amounts of money. You might think that after all of that, he would never want another relationship. But he’s always looking for love,” the source claimed.
According to the insider, Costner is the kind of man who still believes that the next relationship could be the one that lasts.
“He’s the kind of man who thinks the next woman could be his last. He still believes in romance,” the source said.
For now, Costner appears to be taking things one relationship at a time. Whether Jennifer Milburn is simply a friend, a new romantic interest or the beginning of something more serious remains unclear. Neither Costner nor Milburn has publicly confirmed the nature of their relationship.
What does seem clear is that the actor has not allowed his difficult divorce to convince him that love is no longer worth pursuing. He continues to meet people, spend time with women who attract his attention and enjoy his life outside the spotlight.
And if he eventually meets someone with whom he develops a genuine connection, those close to him believe that another trip down the aisle is still possible.
For now, however, Kevin Costner seems perfectly comfortable leaving the future open. After decades of playing unforgettable romantic leads on screen, perhaps the Hollywood star is still hoping that his own real-life love story has another chapter waiting to be written.
