Academy Award-winning actor and director Kevin Costner, aged 70, was seen on Tuesday evening in the company of actress Camilla Belle, aged 39, during The Art of Elysium’s Lee Daniels’ HEAVEN 2025 Gala, held at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, California, near Santa Barbara.
Costner, known for his acclaimed work in Yellowstone and Dances With Wolves, posed alongside Belle, who appeared elegant in a pale mint-green floral gown with a matching cape and an updo hairstyle. Their appearance together drew public attention, as Costner continues to be regarded as one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors following his high-profile divorce from Christine Baumgartner, finalized in February 2024 after 18 years of marriage.
Since the dissolution of his marriage, Costner has been romantically linked by media outlets to several notable figures, including Sharon Stone, Jewel, and Jennifer Lopez, though none of these associations have been confirmed.
Belle, who has previously been linked to Joe Jonas and Tim Tebow, has not publicly disclosed her current relationship status.
Costner’s ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, a handbag designer, has since remarried. She wed her former neighbor, Josh Connor, aged 51, in October 2025 at an intimate ceremony held on a 100-acre vineyard near Santa Barbara.
According to reports shared with PEOPLE, the event was described as “authentic, heartfelt, and intimate,” attended by approximately 100 guests, including the couple’s children — Cayden (17), Hayes (15), and Grace (14). Baumgartner wore a Mira Zwillinger gown for the ceremony before changing into a strapless Lihi Hod dress for the reception.
The celebration reportedly began with a welcome event for family and close friends, culminating in an outdoor sunset ceremony that guests described as deeply emotional.
Baumgartner and Connor, who became engaged in January 2025, are said to have built their relationship on a strong foundation of friendship and shared values, with sources close to the couple noting that she “feels happy, supported, and deeply loved.”
Meanwhile, Costner remains focused on his professional endeavors, including his ambitious Western film project Horizon, and continues to attract public interest both for his cinematic achievements and his reinvigorated personal life.#newsafro_
