Kevin Costner Finds Love After Divorce
Kevin Costner has stepped into a new chapter of his personal life following his highly publicized divorce from Christine Baumgartner. The handbag designer filed for divorce in May 2023, ending their 18-year marriage. Their legal proceedings concluded in February 2024 after months of disputes.

Costner’s Divorce Settlement
As part of the settlement, Costner was ordered to pay $63,209 per month in child support for the couple’s three children—Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15. Despite the emotional toll, the actor emphasized resilience, telling CBS Mornings, “I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward.”

A New Romance Emerges
Insiders now reveal that Costner, 69, has begun dating filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, 46. Gores, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores, is best known for her work on wellness documentaries.

First Public Sighting
The pair was recently spotted together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Aspen, sparking speculation about the seriousness of their relationship. Witnesses described them as relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company.

Shared Passions
Sources close to Costner describe Kelly as “exactly his type.” Both share a love for the outdoors, surfing, sports, and long walks with their dogs. Their mutual experience as parents has reportedly brought them closer.

Romance or Casual?
While some insiders insist the relationship is “hot and heavy,” others caution it may still be casual. The two were introduced by mutual friends in Aspen, a place both frequent.

Baumgartner Moves On Too
Meanwhile, Christine Baumgartner has also found happiness again. She is now engaged to financier Josh Conner, who proposed during a romantic beach dinner in Santa Barbara.

New Beginnings for Both
With Costner and Baumgartner moving forward, both appear ready to embrace new chapters filled with love, companionship, and family focus.
