Kevin Costner, 71, has been spotted getting close with a lifestyle coach 31 years his junior.
The “Yellowstone” alum was seen looking “extremely affectionate” with Jennifer Milburn, 40, during a grocery run in Santa Barbara, California, according to photos. The pair reportedly picked up cereal, grapefruit juice, steaks and vegetables at a local Albertson’s, with onlookers noting their cozy demeanor throughout the errand.
Milburn kept it casual in cut-off shorts, a white long-sleeved shirt and sandals, while Costner sported a white polo shirt with matching pants.
The 40-year-old has an eclectic resume. She previously worked as a Delta flight attendant and a local model, and spent several years at high-profile western retailer Kemo Sabe. According to her LinkedIn profile, she currently serves as director of partnerships for Simon Sinek’s The Optimism Company, working remotely. She hails from Aspen, Colorado — where Costner owns the sprawling Dunbar Ranch.
When the outlet called Milburn and asked whether she was dating the “Dances With Wolves” star, she hung up.
Costner’s romantic life has drawn steady attention since his high-profile split. He divorced Christine Baumgartner, 52, in 2023 after 18 years of marriage, a breakup that became notably public and expensive. Baumgartner has since remarried to Josh Connor.
The actor shares three children with his ex-wife: Cayden, 19, Hayes, 17, and Grace, 16. He also has three older children from his first marriage to Cindy Silva — Annie, 42, Lily, 40, and Joe, 38 — whom he divorced in 1994 after 16 years together.
Last year, Costner sparked dating rumors with Jennifer Lopez, 57, after the two were spotted hanging out at Kemo Sabe in Aspen. That outing turned out to be innocuous.
He then began dating billionaire Alec Gores’ ex-wife Kelley Noonan Gores sometime in 2025. A source said the pair were enjoying a “private and casual” romance, with the Oscar winner “being cautious” in the wake of his turbulent divorce. The couple reportedly favored low-key evenings together, including “dinners at home, walks on the beach and quiet nights in,” spending considerable time at Costner’s Santa Barbara estate.
Whether the grocery store sighting signals a new chapter or a casual friendship remains unconfirmed. Reps for both Costner and Milburn have not publicly addressed the nature of their relationship.
The “Waterworld” star has maintained a busy public profile beyond his personal life, though his romantic entanglements continue to generate headlines. His split from Baumgartner followed a protracted legal battle that reportedly cost him significantly more than their prenuptial agreement had outlined.
Costner’s Dunbar Ranch in Aspen has served as a recurring backdrop for his social connections, linking him to both the retail world through Kemo Sabe and now to Milburn’s Colorado roots.
The actor is next expected to continue work on his upcoming film projects, with his Western epic “Horizon: An American Saga” having premiered its first chapter in 2024.
