Kelly Noonan Gores Reportedly Dating Kevin Costner

Los Angeles, August 30, 2025 - Director and author Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, has been spotted spending time with actor Kevin Costner, 70, sparking romance rumors less than a year after her divorce from billionaire Alec Gores. Sources describe their relationship as casual but genuine.

According to People magazine, Noonan Gores and Costner were introduced by mutual friends and have been “getting to know each other and seeing each other casually when they can”. Although they live nearly 100 miles apart-Costner in Carpinteria and Noonan Gores in Manhattan Beach-they have been observed together in Colorado, particularly around Aspen, where both frequently visit.

Friends of Noonan Gores note that dating is not her primary focus. After finalizing her divorce in December 2024, she endured a tumultuous year that included losing her Pacific Palisades home to fire and prioritizing her health and six-year-old daughter, Riley. On her podcast Heal with Kelly, she described the divorce as “excruciating,” emphasizing the importance of self-care and her daughter’s well-being.

Costner, who finalized his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in February 2024, has expressed a desire to move forward while remaining devoted to his children. Insiders say he is enjoying this new chapter without serious commitment at present. The couple’s shared experiences with high-profile separations and parenthood have been cited as a foundation for mutual understanding.

No official comment has been made by either party, but industry observers say the pairing underlines a trend of high-profile figures finding companionship through shared social circles. Further developments are expected as the story unfolds.
