Kevin Costner<\/strong><\/a> and \u201990s folk-pop queen Jewel\u2019s rumored romance may have fizzled out a while ago, but he remains a huge admirer of her music, and he\u2019s looking forward to being front and center at her upcoming performances whilst quietly hoping it\u2019ll lead to more, Life & Style<\/em> has exclusively learned.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin\u2019s big miscalculation in his ongoing attempts to woo Jewel is his failing to understand that she isn\u2019t done yet, and she\u2019s certainly not in any frame of mind where she would want to be arm candy,\u201d a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cYou talk to Jewel for five minutes and it becomes very clear that she still has a lot she wants to do with her music career and writing, and she still longs to win a Grammy after being nominated four times during her heyday.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider also makes it clear that the \u201cWho Will Save Your Soul\u201d singer, 50, \u201chas other priorities ahead of finding a new romantic relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor all of Kevin\u2019s lofty talk about his own musical ambitions, he is still not much more than an amateur while Jewel is undeniably a seasoned pro. It took a while for Kevin to really understand this, but he remains in awe of her talent and supportive of her career, even from a distance,\u201d the source explains to Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cHe would have loved to collaborate with her and even date her, but he has to resign himself to being her number one fan instead, because she still has a lot of mountains she wants to climb herself!\u201d<\/p>\n Kevin, 70, and Jewel maintained a low-key romance after they sparked dating rumors in November 2023, seven months after the Yellowstone<\/em> alum and ex-wife Christine Baumgartner<\/strong> separated. They finalized their divorce in February 2024.<\/p>\n The pair met while participating in a pro-am tennis tournament at billionaire Richard Branson<\/strong>\u2019s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin looked handsome, tan and fit. All the guests were going crazy over him,\u201d a source told In Touch<\/em><\/a> in December 2023. \u201cHe really hit it off with Jewel.\u201d<\/p>\n The insider told the outlet that the pair were seated next to each other at a dinner and were \u201claughing and chatting\u201d and \u201clooked like they were having a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Chatter about Jewel and Kevin\u2019s romance continued to make headlines in the following months, leading the musician to address the speculation during an April 2024 interview with Elle<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Kevin Costner.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a great person,\u201d Jewel told the publication, who noted that she was \u201cblushing\u201d while talking about the Bodyguard<\/em> actor. \u201cThe public fascination is intense for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
