Kevin Costner’s New Relationship with Kelly Noonan Gores
Kevin Costner is reportedly finding stability in his life through his evolving relationship with Kelly Noonan Gores, especially as his career faces some challenges.
The two became acquainted via mutual friends, and their romance has been described as “private and casual.” This information was highlighted in a report by Us Weekly.
It seems Costner has been proceeding with caution, influenced by his past experiences.
Sources indicate that the couple manages to see each other when their schedules allow, often gathering at their home in Santa Barbara.
They enjoy low-key activities such as having dinners at home, beach walks, and spending relaxed evenings together.
A different source mentioned that the 71-year-old actor isn’t in a rush to jump into a serious relationship or consider marriage right now.
Representatives for Costner did not immediately respond when contacted for additional comments.
Back in August 2025, it was revealed that Costner began dating Gores, who was previously married to billionaire Alec Gores from 2016 until their divorce in 2024.
This relationship comes two years after Costner’s split from Christine Baumgartner, with whom he shares three children: Kayden, Hayes, and Grace.
Baumgartner has since remarried, which reportedly leaves Costner feeling somewhat bitter about the situation.
While part of him wishes their relationship had worked out, he’s trying not to dwell on the past.
As for his career, Costner seems to be treating 2026 as a “year of redemption,” despite grappling with some complicated feelings toward Hollywood.
It’s been noted that he’s selected a more understated approach lately, with fewer offers coming in for leading roles.
Costner has made headlines for his contentious behavior on the set of “Yellowstone,” where allegations arose concerning unscripted scenes before he was let go in 2024. His film, “Horizon,” didn’t perform well at the box office.
Despite recent controversies, he reportedly believes in his ability to bounce back, keeping a focus on big ideas and proving his critics wrong.
