Kevin Costner ‘Casually’ Dating Billionaire’s Ex-Wife

New Delhi, August 30, 2025 - Kevin Costner, the 70-year-old star of Yellowstone, has quietly embarked on a new chapter in his personal life, sources report. Nearly two years after finalizing his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, Costner is “casually” dating director Kelly Noonan Gores, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores.

According to People, the pair met through mutual friends and have spent time together in Colorado and Aspen, though their relationship remains in its early, non-serious stages. Costner resides in Carpinteria, California, while Noonan Gores lives in Manhattan Beach, roughly 100 miles away, making their meetings infrequent but meaningful when schedules allow.

This new romance follows Costner’s highly publicized divorce settlement in February 2024, which saw him paying over $63,000 per month in child support for their three children, Cayden (18), Hayes (16), and Grace (15). Noonan Gores, 46, finalized her divorce from Alec Gores in late 2024 and shares custody of their six-year-old daughter, Riley.

Insiders emphasize that dating is not a priority for either celebrity at this time. Noonan Gores has focused on rebuilding her life after losing her Pacific Palisades home in a fire earlier this year, while Costner remains dedicated to his ongoing film projects, including the multi-part epic Horizon: An American Saga. Both appear content to “get to know each other” without pressuring the relationship toward anything more serious.
