Kevin Costner’s New Girlfriend Kelly Noonan Gores Could Be His Ex-Wife’s Twin

After a messy divorce, Kevin Costner has moved on in his love life, but the Yellowstone alum seems to have a type. The 70-year-old is reportedly dating Kelly Noonan Gores, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores.

Gores, 46, looks strikingly similar to Costner’s ex-wife Christine Baumgartner. Both have that polished California look with their blonde hair often worn in loose waves, but they also share similar bone structure with their high cheekbones. Those traits, combined with their bright eyes and wide smiles, might give fans a hint at the type of woman Costner is attracted to.

Rumors began to swirl late last month that Costner and Gore were dating, and then they both made appearances at the JAS Labor Day Experience near Aspen, Colorado.

“Kevin is dating and happy again after a very dark time in his life,” a source told the Daily Mail on Tuesday, September 2. “He has been seeing Kelly. They were together in Aspen in late July. He has tried to keep it very hush hush because he doesn’t want this to go off the rails.”

The source continued, “She is exactly his type and they have a lot in common: the outdoors, sports — she likes to surf — long walks with dogs. Also she has young kids and he loves kids, so he thinks that’s cute. He says she is just ‘chill,’ which is what he needs right now.”

Costner was married to his college sweetheart, Cindy Silva, from 1978 to 1994, and they share three children together. After Silva, the Tin Cup actor married Baumgartner, 51, in 2004. They also welcomed three children together before they split in 2023.
