Yellowstone’s Kevin Costner Has One ‘Major Requirement’ For His Next Girlfriend

Following his high-profile divorce in February 2024, Yellowstone star Kevin Costner has found himself at the center of intense speculation regarding his love life. Rumors have swirled about possible relationships with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Jennifer Lopez. His recent intimate interaction with Cher at the SNL50 special only fueled further curiosity. However, despite the buzz, it appears Costner has one crucial condition when it comes to choosing his next partner—she cannot be a Hollywood celebrity.

Insiders close to the actor have disclosed that Costner is not particularly drawn to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood when it comes to romance. “Kevin doesn’t like dating Hollywood actresses or people deeply embedded in the entertainment industry,” a source revealed. Instead, he is reportedly more interested in connecting with someone outside of the celebrity spotlight, someone he considers to be more down-to-earth.

While Costner is appreciative of the attention he has been receiving, sources emphasize that he is not placing too much weight on the speculation surrounding his dating life. “Kevin’s flattered by all the admiration, but he isn’t taking it too seriously,” the insider noted. Rather than jumping into a new high-profile romance, Costner appears to be prioritizing his personal and professional balance. “2025 is about focusing on his upcoming projects while also making room for his personal life. He wants to get out more and maybe meet the right person. He feels optimistic about what the future holds,” the source explained.

This revelation suggests that while Costner is open to romance, his next relationship is unlikely to be with another Hollywood star. His dating history further supports this preference. Despite past connections with well-known actresses, many of Costner’s most significant relationships have been with women outside the entertainment industry.

For instance, his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner was a handbag designer rather than a Hollywood figure, and their meeting was purely coincidental. Similarly, he once had a relationship with Bridget Rooney, who comes from a well-established but non-Hollywood family—her uncle was the former owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dan Rooney. Even his first wife, Cindy Silva, was only an actress before they both found fame, meeting when neither had yet become well-known.

As Costner moves forward in his life, his reluctance to date within the Hollywood circle seems clearer than ever. While fans may continue to speculate on his romantic future, it appears that the Yellowstone star is in no rush to dive into another celebrity romance. Instead, he remains focused on his work and remains hopeful that, in time, the right person will come along—someone outside the world of glitz and glamour.
