“The only person responsible for Kevin and Jewel hooking up”: One Famous British Billionaire is Behind Kevin Costner’s Romance With Singer Jewel
Kevin Costner and Jewel might be dating, and they have one person to thank for this budding romance. Kevin Costner just got off a lengthy and messy divorce with his longtime partner Christine Baumgartner. However, if rumors are to be believed, then he is not off the market just yet.
After his divorce, Kevin Costner and Jewel were spotted in the Caribbean, spending some cozy moments together. But according to sources, they do not want to rush into anything. This is not just another rebound or “foolish game,” and they are taking it slow. However, it would not have been possible without British billionaire Richard Branson.
How did Richard Branson help in Kevin Costner and Jewel’s swoon-worthy romance?
Kevin Costner, famously known for his role in Yellowstone, is probably having butterflies in the stomach for singer Jewel after his divorce from his wife of 18 years. The pair was seen warming up to each other on Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands for a tennis fundraiser for the Inspiring Children Foundation. Sources told Daily Mail in an exclusive that the pair is just “having fun.”
“They are not serious right now, but they are having fun.”
According to the Daily Mail sources, Branson is the master matchmaker behind this possible cute couple in town. The sources have claimed that:
“The only person responsible for Kevin and Jewel hooking up is Branson. Richard invited Jewel to hold her charity fund-raiser on Necker, and, honestly, the hookup happened organically. They hit it off well, and Jewel seems to be happy about it.”

Sources close to her have also claimed that although Jewel has not come clean to her friends yet, they can see “a light in her” that has not been there for quite some time.
TMZ shared pictures before where the public could see Jewel sitting on the Oscar winner’s lap with his arms wrapped around her waist.
Kevin Costner’s Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner has to say this about his budding romance with Jewel
Despite the rather messy divorce, according to sources close to the couple, Christine Baumgartner is actually quite happy to see Kevin Costner seemingly moving on with Jewel. Although, according to the insider via. Daily Mail, it is not a great feeling for her to see her ex with someone else:
“Christine said she’s not surprised that Kevin has moved on so quickly, but he didn’t need to make it so obvious by wrapping his arms around he. She said she’s happy for him, but it still isn’t a great feeling seeing your ex with someone new.”
The person also mentioned that Baumgartner is happy that the new person in Costner’s life is not just another fame seeker. She is described as a “down-to-earth person” by Costner‘s ex-wife who allegedly said:
“Christine said the last thing she wanted was for some fame seeker to come along and play mom to their three children. But Jewel has a son of her own, she has her own life and isn’t a gold digger. So that’s a relief.”
Costner and Baumgartner shared a 4-year relationship before getting hitched in 2004. They have three children together, named Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.
Kevin Costner is gearing up to appear in Horizon: An American Saga and Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 2 in 2024.
