After a painful, highly public divorce, Kevin Costner has reportedly found love again \u2014 this time with filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores.<\/p>\n
Just months before announcing his split from Christine Baumgartner, 51, Costner praised his wife of nearly 20 years and the \u201cpower of love.\u201d But in May 2023, Baumgartner filed for divorce, launching a bitter custody and financial battle that ended in February 2024. Costner was ordered to pay $63,209 per month in child support, a major drop from the $248,000 she originally sought. The couple now shares joint legal and physical custody of their three children.<\/p>\n
Calling the split \u201ca crushing moment,\u201d Costner said he had to stay strong for his kids. Now, insiders claim the 69-year-old is happier and dating again. Costner and Gores, 46, have been spotted together in Aspen, and sources say their romance is \u201cexactly what he needs\u201d after a dark period.<\/p>\n
Described as \u201cchill\u201d and sharing his love for the outdoors, Gores has reportedly fallen for Costner\u2019s charm, and the relationship is said to be \u201chot and heavy,\u201d though others insist it\u2019s still casual and early.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Baumgartner has also moved on and recently became engaged to financier Josh Conner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
