Costner’s Rule for Romance

Kevin Costner may be one of Hollywood’s most iconic leading men, but when it comes to love, he doesn’t want a leading lady. According to insiders, the Yellowstone star has one firm requirement for any future partner: she can’t be part of the Hollywood spotlight.

“Kevin doesn’t like dating actresses or people from the Hollywood scene,” a source explained. “He prefers someone more down-to-earth, a regular person.”

The 70-year-old actor is reportedly open to dating again but isn’t rushing into anything serious. “He appreciates the admiration but his priority for 2025 is balancing his projects with his personal life. He’s optimistic about the future but wants to take things slow,” the insider added.

A History of Love Beyond Hollywood

While Costner has often been linked to glamorous stars, his most meaningful relationships have often been with women outside of show business.

• His ex-wife Christine Baumgartner ran a handbag company when they met.

• He also dated Bridget Rooney, niece of the late Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney.

• Even with his first wife, Cindy Silva, their romance began before Costner’s rise to fame.

This history makes it no surprise that Costner now prefers someone grounded, away from the demands and pressures of the Hollywood lifestyle.

Focused on Work and What’s Next

For now, Costner’s attention remains on his film and television projects. After the global success of Yellowstone and his passion project Horizon: An American Saga, he’s dedicated to storytelling — while leaving the door open for love when the right person comes along.
