Kevin Costner Steps Into New Chapter With Kelly Noonan Gores
Kevin Costner, the Oscar-winning actor best known for his roles in Yellowstone and countless Hollywood classics, has been making headlines again — but this time, it’s not about a movie. Word has spread that Costner, now 70, is “casually” seeing director and author Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, following the end of his long and very public marriage to Christine Baumgartner.
According to insiders, the two were introduced through mutual friends and have been spending time together here and there. It’s not being described as serious at this point, partly because of geography — Costner lives in Carpinteria, California, while Noonan Gores is based about a hundred miles away in Manhattan Beach. Still, the pair are said to cross paths often in Aspen, Colorado, where both spend time with overlapping friend groups. Recently, they were even spotted together in Colorado, further fueling speculation.

This new chapter for Costner comes after what many would call a difficult and drawn-out divorce. He and Baumgartner, who were married for nearly two decades, finalized their split in early 2024. The separation involved court battles over custody and financial support, but eventually, the two agreed to share joint custody of their three children: Cayden, now 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15. Costner also continues to be a father to four adult children from his previous relationships. Despite the challenges, he has been vocal about keeping family at the center of his life, saying that the priority has always been staying present and connected with his kids.
Baumgartner has also moved forward, recently getting engaged to Josh Connor, who happened to be a former neighbor of the couple. Costner himself was linked briefly to singer Jewel during the early months of his separation, though he firmly denied any romantic involvement, insisting they were simply friends.
As for Kelly Noonan Gores, she has also faced a season of transition. Best known for her book Heal and its companion documentary, she was previously married to billionaire businessman Alec Gores. The couple announced their split in late 2024, a moment she described as heartbreaking, even though she had initiated the conversation. She shared on her podcast that the decision was incredibly painful, explaining that it wasn’t a lack of love but rather a difficult shift in life’s direction. Together, she and Alec Gores share a young daughter, Riley, who is now six.
So, while this new connection between Costner and Noonan Gores is still labeled as “casual,” it seems both are finding companionship and understanding in each other during times of change. For Costner, it may not be a grand romance yet, but it does signal a hopeful turn after a turbulent year — and for fans, it’s a reminder that even Hollywood legends continue to navigate love, loss, and new beginnings just like anyone else.
