One of the couples everyone wants to know about is Kevin Costner and Jewel. 2023 has been the year of unexpected romance, and this unexpected pairing has taken the cake! Ever since musings about them being Into one another started in Nov 2023, people have been dying to know more. While we know what Costner’s ex-wife Christine Baumgartner thinks about the relationship, along with the fellow A-lister who probably set them up, we’ve been wondering, “What have Costner’s friends thought about this pairing happening mere months after his bombshell divorce from Baumgartner?”

An insider recently spilled to UsMagazine that this relationship between Jewel and the Yellowstone star may be for the long haul, and that they’re surprised this relationship didn’t happen sooner.

“Kevin and Jewel had an extremely high opinion of each other and have always gotten along great. They check a lot of boxes for each other,” the insider said, adding that their relationship started over their mutual love for music. “He’s really into his [band, Modern West], and singing, and she’s very much a part of that country-and-western world.”

The insider added that the two have known about each other for “for years,” and “Some of their mutual friends joke how it’s surprising they didn’t get together years ago.”
