As Kevin Costner approaches a significant milestone — his 70th birthday on January 18, 2025 

rumors surrounding his love life have taken center stage, largely due to his recent public outing with pop icon Jennifer Lopez.

The two were spotted sharing drinks at a bar in Aspen, Colorado, in December 2024, sparking widespread speculation about a possible romance between the two Hollywood heavyweights.

This sighting led to an avalanche of media attention, especially following their respective breakups with ex-partners:

Costner’s divorce from Christine Baumgartner and Lopez’s separation from Ben Affleck.

However, despite the media frenzy and whispers of a budding relationship, sources close to Costner have been quick to clarify that the actor is not actively seeking anything serious at the moment.

A close insider recently told PEOPLE that Costner is not pursuing romance, instead focusing on enjoying his personal life and family.

“He is not seriously involved with anyone and not necessarily looking for anything more than that right now,” the source revealed, emphasizing that Costner’s priorities are centered on his children, friends, and other personal endeavors.

Costner, who finalized his divorce from Baumgartner in February 2024, is reportedly “in a good place” and content with his current routine, which involves spending time with his family and keeping himself busy.

The actor has seven children from his previous relationships, including Annie, 40, Lily, 38, Joe, 36, Liam, 28, and three younger children: Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14. The insider noted that Costner has been finding solace in his family and his dog in the months following his divorce.

While some reports have hinted at a connection between Costner and Lopez, claiming they “talk pretty much every day” since their last meeting, the actor is not looking for a serious romantic entanglement.

In fact, despite being spotted together in December, the duo has not officially confirmed any romantic involvement.

There were even rumors suggesting that Costner sent Lopez a lavish gift — a bouquet of her favorite flowers and a magnum of champagne — after their meeting, but these claims remain unverified, and the nature of their relationship remains unclear.

Despite the speculation, those close to Costner insist that he is focused on enjoying life without the pressures of a romantic commitment.

Describing him as “old-school in his thinking,” the source added that Costner enjoys a busy lifestyle and has a variety of interests that keep him engaged.

Whether it’s spending time with his kids or diving into his professional projects, Costner is reportedly content with where he is in life.

Jennifer Lopez, meanwhile, has also been at the center of attention regarding her relationship with Costner. Sources close to Lopez have mentioned that she is drawn to Costner’s “old-school romantic” nature, which aligns with her own views on love.

According to insiders, Lopez’s “hopeless romantic” side resonates with Costner, noting that he is the type of person who might even write and produce a movie for the two of them to star in together.

Despite these flattering descriptions of their dynamic, neither Costner nor Lopez has publicly confirmed their relationship status.

The speculation about their bond comes in the wake of both stars’ recent breakups, leading some to wonder if they could find solace in each other after their respective emotional upheavals.

However, with Costner making it clear that he is not actively seeking romance, the speculation about a future relationship between the two remains just that — speculation.

As Costner celebrates his 70th birthday, he appears to be enjoying this new chapter of his life on his own terms.

Whether he continues to maintain a friendly relationship with Lopez or simply focuses on his family and personal interests, one thing is certain: Kevin Costner is content in his own space and is not rushing into any romantic commitments anytime soon

His focus remains on his loved ones, and as he enters his seventh decade, it seems that Costner is prioritizing peace and personal fulfillment over public romantic dramas.
