Kevin Costner has been busy in the romance department! The actor settled his divorce from second wife Christine Baumgartner in September and has seemingly found love again. Kevin and singer Jewel were spotted looking quite comfortable with each other sometime last month in the British Virgin Islands. The two were photographed getting cozy, and witnesses have said they spent a significant amount of time together during the trip. The potential romance between the pair comes after rumors that Kevin was rebounding with Reese Witherspoon .
They were spotted on Richard Branson’s private island in the Caribbean.

Kevin and Jewel were together in the British Virgin Islands, where the singer hosted a tennis fundraiser for her Inspiring Children Foundation. According to photos shared by TMZ , the pair were getting quite cozy and being publicly affectionate.
It appears there’s more than friendship between them.
In the photo, Kevin is sitting behind Jewel with his head close to her shoulder. He has his hands placed on her waist as she stands in front of him. They’re both smiling as the singer makes a speech to the seated crowd.
“There was definitely something going on. They were flirty, and when they were together, it was like they both just lit up,” a source told the news outlet.
According to witnesses, they even traveled together to and from the island.

The pair apparently flew to the Caribbean together and hung out for more than a week. TMZ claimed that they also flew home together.
“You could tell they were trying to be discreet, but anybody who saw them could tell something was going on,” another source shared. The insider also shared that the relationship is “rather new” but definitely happening. According to one insider, Jewel is rather “picky,” but “she wants a good man, and Kevin fits the bill .”
Jewel name-checked Kevin in an Instagram post about the event.

Jewel posted about the trip on Instagram , sharing a Reel full of photos of her time on the island, including pictures with her son Kase.
“Every year, my foundation @inspiringchildren and I go to Necker Island to help host a tennis event w @richardbranson to raise funds for our kids. Amazing players like @geniebouchard come and support us in playing doubles with the folks who come … it’s an incredible time, and one I use to relax, rest and play w my son!” she captioned the post. “@kevincostnermodernwest was kind enough to mentor our kids this year, and Sir Richard was his usual inspiring self — who also plays a mean game of doubles!”

Jewel has been divorced from ex-husband Ty Murray since 2014, whereas the end of Kevin’s 18-year marriage is much more recent. He settled his contentious divorce in September after four very strained months of back and forth over things such as property, assets, and child support between him and ex-wife Christine.
