Costner’s romantic life has been under close watch since his split from Christine Baumgartner, 51, in 2023.
The actor’s post-divorce period has included flirtations and brief connections as Costner carves out a reputation as an aging Hollywood womanizer.
But now sources say a more serious relationship may be on the horizon.

The bachelor is said to be working up to a relationship with Jones.
Friends tell us Costner and Jones first sparked their connection at a December party, where the actress publicly expressed her admiration for him on social media.
The single mother of son Xander, 13, posted online: "Beautiful evening once again with the incredibly warm @brunellocucinelli_brand family. And I finally got to meet @kevincostner."
Behind the scenes, the duo have been exchanging numbers and discovering a mutual attraction, sources say.
An insider said: "Kevin and January have struck up a connection.
"They share a lot in common and there’s a clear mutual attraction.
"January fits Kevin's type perfectly, and she's made it clear she admires his work.
"Everyone close to Kevin is hoping this turns into something serious."
Since his divorce from Baumgartner – with whom he shares three children, Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 14 – Costner has experienced a rocky romantic journey.
Following the split, he was seen with singer Jewel, 50, on Richard Branson’s Necker Island and later at a charity event, though Costner described their relationship as friendship.
A source revealed to us the singer had hoped for more and was "crushed" when it didn't progress and he "ghosted" her.
Later rumors surfaced about Costner's alleged attempts to woo Jennifer Lopez, 55, during a Christmas encounter in Aspen, Colorado, following her split from Ben Affleck.
Age Gap
Jones is 23 years younger than Costner.
Costner’s inner circle has grown concerned about his recent nightlife escapades and rumored habit of making "booty calls."
They are worried some women he met might be 'using' him. an insider told us.
But another source was optimistic.
They said about Jones: "Kevin hasn't been this enthusiastic about someone since Jewel.
"Although that didn't work out, it was a positive experience overall. Kevin really flourishes when he has a partner, and it would be wonderful for him to find that again with January."
The Horizon actor opened up about his divorce in a CBS Mornings interview last year, calling it a "crushing moment," but acknowledging he had "no choice" but to move forward.
"I have to continue to be who I am, and keep a special eye on who (my children) are," he said.
