Last year, Kevin Costner (69) and his wife Christine Baumgartner (50) divorced. Just three months later, the Hollywood star was rumored to have had a fling with singer Jewel (49) after they appeared visibly intimate together in the Caribbean.

Photos published at the time showed Jewel taking a seat on Koster's lap. As reported by TMZ, he put his hands around her waist while Jewel gave a speech to the participants of a tennis fundraiser on Necker Island.

Both left dating rumors uncommented at the time, and in a recent interview, the singer kept fans guessing.

"Public fascination is great"
During an interview with "Elle" magazine published on Wednesday, the 49-year-old spoke briefly about the "Yellowstone" star and said: "He's a great person."

According to Elle, Jewel blushed when she was asked about her supposed romance with the actor. "There's definitely a lot of public fascination," the 49-year-old simply commented on the alleged dating rumors.

There has been speculation surrounding the singer and Costner ever since they were spotted together at the charity event in the British Virgin Islands in December 2023. Jewel was previously married to rodeo champion Ty Murray. The two divorced in 2014 and have a son together. Costner divorced Christine Baumgartner in September 2023 after almost 20 years of marriage.
