Country music darling Jewel and Hollywood legend Kevin Costner set the rumor mill ablaze late last year when they were spotted getting cozy in the Caribbean. Now, Jewel is finally addressing the elephant in the room – Kevin Costner!
In a recent interview with Elle, Jewel blushed while responding to questions about the Yellowstone star. “He’s a great person,” she admitted, adding, “The public fascination is intense for sure,” regarding the dating rumors.
Island Sparks Fly
The speculation began after Jewel and Kevin were seen getting flirty at a charity tennis event for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation held on Richard Branson’s Necker Island. Remember the steamy photos of Kevin with his hands on Jewel’s waist? Yeah, those!
An insider dished to TMZ, “There was definitely something going on. They were flirty, and when they were together, it was like they both just lit up.”
More Than Just a Game?
Sources claim Kevin and Jewel flew to the island together and spent over a week soaking up the sun… and each other? Apparently, they tried to keep things low-key, but insiders say their connection was undeniable.
Jewel even fueled the fire by posting a pic of her and Kevin on social media, along with a heartfelt caption thanking him for mentoring the kids at her foundation’s event.
Divorced and Ready to Mingle?
This island rendezvous conveniently coincided with the finalization of Kevin’s divorce from Christine Baumgartner after 18 years of marriage. Jewel was also previously hitched to Ty Murray for six years before calling it quits in 2014.
Is This a Match Made in Hollywood Heaven?
According to TMZ, Jewel is known for being picky with her partners, and an insider claims, “She wants a good man, and Kevin fits the bill.” In December, sources also revealed their romance was “rather new” at the time.
So, what’s the real deal?
While Jewel didn’t confirm or deny the rumors, that blush and those island shenanigans definitely paint an interesting picture! We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any further developments in this potential A-list romance. Stay tuned!
