Kevin Costner has found new love after his difficult split from Christine Baumgartner, his wife of nearly 20 years.

Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023, citing irreconcilable differences, and their proceedings concluded in February 2024.

During the process, Costner was ordered to pay $63,209 monthly in child support for their three children—Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15. Reflecting

on the end of his marriage, he told CBS Mornings, “I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward,” showing his focus on resilience and fatherhood.

Now, insiders say Costner, 69, has moved on with filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores.

The pair, recently seen together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Aspen, sparked romance speculation.

Sources describe Kelly as “exactly his type,” noting their shared love of the outdoors, surfing, sports, and walking dogs.

Both also have children, which reportedly strengthens their connection. While some call the relationship

“hot and heavy,” others suggest it is still casual, as they were introduced only recently by mutual friends in Aspen.

Baumgartner has also embraced a new chapter. She is now engaged to financier Josh Conner, who proposed during a romantic beach dinner in Santa Barbara.
