Kevin Costner Sparks Romance Rumors During Santa Barbara Outing

Actor Kevin Costner recently ignited romance rumors while shopping at a grocery store in Santa Barbara, California. The 71-year-old star of “Yellowstone” was seen with Jennifer Milburn, a 40-year-old lifestyle coach. Photographs captured the two smiling and walking together as they navigated the aisles and parking lot, sharing the task of pushing a shopping cart.

Costner opted for a relaxed look, wearing white jeans, a white collared shirt, flip-flops, and black sunglasses. Milburn complemented his style with cutoff denim shorts, a white long-sleeve button-up shirt, brown sandals, and sunglasses. Her long blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail.

“No, Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out ever. She’s special, and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have,” Costner clarified during an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” in June 2024.

Costner’s recent outing followed previous rumors linking him with country singer Jewel. Photographs from December 2023 showed Jewel seated on Costner’s lap with his arms around her, captured during a trip to Richard Branson’s private Necker Island. Costner dismissed these rumors stating their friendship is important.

Costner’s personal life has seen changes, as he was married to Christine Baumgartner for 18 years. Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023 citing separation from April 11. Their divorce was finalized in February 2024, with joint custody of their three children: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. The couple faced legal disputes over child support and their prenuptial agreement, which ultimately resolved with agreed joint custody, according to Fox News Digital.

Costner’s representatives have requested privacy for the family as they navigate the aftermath of the divorce.

Entertainment news continues to follow Costner’s personal and public life, with ongoing developments in his relationships and career.
