Is Jennifer Lopez dating Kevin Costner?
Speculations that Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner are dating are going around, but neither has addressed the rumors at the time of writing. According to Closer Online UK, Lopez and Costner were spotted together at a bar in Colorado, sharing a drink.
The outlet cited an insider source to claim that Lopez was “still laser focused” on Affleck, so Costner had “his work cut out for him,” but that didn’t apparently mean it was “an impossible situation.” The source explained that Costner had many qualities that Lopez would be looking for in a relationship with after Affleck. They added, “He’s incredibly successful and he’s someone that commands a huge amount of respect in the industry and among all their peers. Having him on her arm would make a big statement – and it doesn’t hurt that Ben has always spoken very highly of Kevin.”
The source reportedly told Closer Online UK that Lopez was drawn to Costner’s passion for making movies and music. The source elaborated, “So they actually have a lot in common and a lot of things to talk about.” Costner is the founder and frontman of the country rock band Kevin Costner & Modern West.
Costner turns 70 this January, whereas Lopez is 55. The insider source claimed that Costner had been showering Lopez with praises about her work ethic and her career as an actor. They noted that Lopez wasn’t “ready to rush into anything right now but she does seem excited about the potential.” The source stated, “Even if they wind up just connecting as friends, it’s still a massive ego boost to have him falling all over her like this.”
