Kevin Costner is getting close with a new woman after a summer of divorce drama.
Costner and Jewel, a Grammy winning singer/songwriter, were seen getting cozy with one another at Jewel’s tennis fundraiser, the Inspiring Children Foundation. While Costner’s attendance at the event was considered a guest, his connections with Jewel go much, much deeper.
In a photo obtained by TMZ, Costner was seen wrapping his arms around Jewel’s waist while she gave a speech to the event’s attendees. The event was held at Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.
Two sources revealed to TMZ that the two have been getting closer to one another and even traveled to the event’s location with one another. They spent more than a week together in the Caribbean.
In November, Jewel gave a shout out to Costner via social media.
“Every year, my foundation @inspiringchildren and I go to Necker Island to help host a tennis event w @richardbranson to raise funds for our kids,” her caption also read. “Amazing players like @geniebouchard come and support us in playing doubles with the folks who come… it’s an incredible time, and one I use to relax, rest and play with my son!”
“@kevincostnermodernwest was kind enough to mentor our kids this year,” she wrote while sharing a reel that featured different moments from the trip. “And Sir Richard was his usual inspiring self — who also plays a mean game of doubles!”
In Jewel’s comments, supporters praised her and Costner’s budding relationship.
