In late December 2024, Kevin Costner and Jennifer Lopez enjoyed a pleasant date in Aspen, Colorado, during their New Year’s getaway. Since then, they have been in regular contact, looking forward to another meeting.
Recently, JLo successfully finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, having filed to end their two-year marriage on August 20, 2024.
On the other hand, Costner’s marriage to Christine Baumgartner ended in February 2024, after 18 years together.
Current speculations suggest that although she’s not yet looking to jump into a new relationship, Jennifer seems enthusiastic about the potential of a good connection with Costner. Even if it becomes just a friendship, it could significantly boost her confidence to have a prominent figure like him in her life.
Common Ground Between JLo and Costner
It appears that JLo and Kevin may have discovered a sense of comfort in each other, sharing similar values regarding relationships.
Jennifer considers herself a “hopeless romantic,” while Costner embodies “the classic romantic,” often the type who would create and produce a film for them to collaborate on, making it plausible that he might support a project for her.
Costner could be a great match for JLo because he meets all her criteria. According to sources, she appreciates his deep passion for filmmaking.
In addition, Kevin is a musician leading Kevin Costner & Modern West, suggesting they share considerable common ground that could foster a strong bond.
Furthermore, Ben Affleck has consistently praised Costner, who enjoys a friendship with Jennifer Garner. This web of connections is appealing to JLo, as she appreciates the notion of dating someone who comes with a strong seal of approval.
Costner has also expressed admiration for Lopez, noting how “incredibly fit and eternally youthful she is.”
At this point, the source revealed that Kevin sent her a lavish bouquet of her preferred flowers, accompanied by a handwritten note and a bottle of champagne following their encounter in Aspen.
