As a celebrity with an astonishing 250 million followers on Instagram and a history of media attention since the 90s, Jennifer Lopez has limited privacy. Her recent divorce from actor Ben Affleck is finalized, and now speculation links her to a major player in Hollywood.
Kevin Costner, a veteran actor with decades of experience across film and television, has caught the eye of Lopez, 55. The 70-year-old star’s work has long been admired by her, and they recently spent time together during a Christmas holiday in Aspen, Colorado. It’s likely that Affleck might have been aware or at least suspected something.
Affleck had a hunch during their marriage!
It appears that Affleck sensed something brewing between Lopez and Costner. During an interview in 2023 for his film “Air“, he expressed feeling “disturbed” at how much Lopez enjoyed the series “Yellowstone“, which features Costner. He recalled an instance where Lopez showcased a particular monologue from the character Beth Dutton, illustrating the show’s significant impact on her.
Kevin Costner recently finished his role as John Dutton III, the leader of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, in a widely acclaimed series that concluded its fifth season last month. His successful return to the spotlight has inspired him to embark on a new film project called the “Horizon Saga“. During a holiday encounter in Aspen, Lopez expressed her affection for the initial film of this series to Costner.
As it stands, the future of Costner and Lopez’s possible relationship is uncertain, especially considering they both finalized their divorces in the past year. However, Affleck’s surprising comments regarding Lopez’s fondness for Costner have raised eyebrows and become a topic of conversation.
