Kevin Costner Says There’s ‘No Resemblance’ Between Ex Christine and Current Partner

Something Seems Familiar!

Over a year after his high-profile split from Christine Baumgartner, 51, Kevin Costner has quietly entered a new relationship with 46-year-old filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores. Observers have pointed out that Kelly bears a striking resemblance to his ex — but not according to Kevin.

“He doesn’t see it at all,” a source tells Star. “Aside from them both being blonde, he thinks they’re completely different.”

Kelly, who was previously married to billionaire Alec Gores, was recently spotted with the Yellowstone star at a Labor Day event near Aspen. Insiders say the relationship has actually been going on “for a while.”

Kevin, now 70, finalized his divorce from Christine in early 2024 after two decades of marriage and three children together. He also has four other kids from previous relationships. Since the split, he’s been briefly linked to Jewel and Jennifer Lopez — but sources say this time, he’s hoping for something more lasting.

“Kevin’s definitely enjoying himself,” the source adds . “But there’s concern he might be rushing into something serious too fast. He’s the kind of guy who’s all in — and that intensity can be overwhelming.”

Adding to the emotional stakes: Christine is reportedly preparing to marry financier Josh Connor — a former friend of Kevin’s.

“It’s definitely stirred up some emotions,” the source adds. “Kevin says he deserves happiness after everything he’s been through — and he does. But jumping in too fast could leave him vulnerable to yet another heartbreak.”
