Rumors of a budding romance between Kevin Costner and singer-songwriter Jewel appear to be cooling off. Despite recent speculation that the two were growing close, sources now say Jewel isn’t currently entertaining the idea of a relationship — even with the Oscar-winning actor.
“Kevin made a move, but she’s not in the frame of mind for romance right now,” a source close to the situation shared. “She’s focused on her career, her son, and her personal growth.”
The whispers began after the two were spotted spending time together on Richard Branson’s Necker Island last year, sparking hopes among fans of a new celebrity couple. However, insiders insist the connection may have been more friendly than flirty — at least from Jewel’s side.
While Costner, newly single after his divorce, reportedly showed interest, it seems Jewel is keeping her distance from the dating spotlight. “She respects Kevin and enjoyed his company,” the source added, “but she’s simply not in that space emotionally.”
For now, any talk of a Hollywood romance appears to be just that — talk.
