Kevin Costner has stepped into a new chapter of his personal life following his highly publicized divorce from Christine Baumgartner. The handbag designer filed for divorce in May 2023, ending their 18-year marriage. Their legal proceedings concluded in February 2024 after months of disputes.
As part of the settlement, Costner was ordered to pay $63,209 per month in child support for the couple’s three children—Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15. Despite the emotional toll, the actor emphasized resilience, telling CBS Mornings, “I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward.”
Insiders now reveal that Costner, 69, has begun dating filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, 46. Gores, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores, is best known for her work on wellness documentaries.
The pair was recently spotted together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Aspen, sparking speculation about the seriousness of their relationship. Witnesses described them as relaxed and comfortable in each other’s company.
