Nearly two years after his emotional divorce, Kevin Costner is seen beside a new woman. But he hasn’t said a word. Is it a new love… or simply the quiet understanding between two broken hearts?
A painful ending leaves silent wounds
In 2023, Kevin Costner officially divorced his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner. The high-profile separation made headlines, but behind the scenes, it deeply affected the actor. Costner admitted it was one of the most emotionally empty periods of his life—despite still working on directing and producing.
The Aspen sighting
In late August 2025, paparazzi spotted Kevin Costner walking side by side with a mysterious woman in Aspen, Colorado. It didn’t take long before she was identified: Kelly Noonan Gores – filmmaker, wellness advocate, and ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores. The two were seen having dinner and leaving the restaurant hand in hand with gentle smiles.
An undefined connection
Sources close to Costner said it’s not a whirlwind romance. It began with quiet friendship and shared empathy. Both had been through long marriages and emotional fallout. Costner has not publicly labeled it as a relationship, but he admitted that “being with her brings peace.”
A familiar face in elite circles
Kelly Noonan Gores is no stranger to success. She’s the founder of the wellness brand “HEAL” and directed a documentary of the same name. After her divorce from Alec Gores, she kept a low profile—focusing on meditation, health, and charity. Her calm, thoughtful nature is said to have touched something soft in Kevin’s heart—after years of emotional storms.
What lies ahead?
Whether this connection will blossom into something official remains to be seen. But it’s clear Kevin Costner is slowly rediscovering emotional clarity—and perhaps even hope. Sometimes, peace is the beginning of everything.
