Kevin Costner is getting back on the saddle.
Over a year after he legally ended his 18-year marriage to Christine Baumgartner, the Yellowstone alum is casually dating director Kelly Noonan Gores, according to multiple outlets.
E! News reached out to reps for Kevin, 70, and Kelly, 46, for comment but has not heard back.
Kevin isn’t the first to move on following his breakup from Christine, who he finalized his divorce from in February 2024 after a tense legal battle. Back in January, the former model—who shares kids Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14, with the Field of Dreams actor—got engaged to financier Josh Conner during a romantic beach dinner in Santa Barbara, Calif.
“It was about to rain, so almost no one else was on the beach when Josh got down on one knee,” a source told E! News at the time. “The couple has been going strong for over a year, spending Christmas in New York together last month where it all began.”
And while Kevin hasn’t publicly commented on his ex’s engagement, he’s previously gotten candid about how difficult it was to navigate raising his and Christine’s children amid their yearlong divorce proceedings. (The Bodyguard actor is also dad to Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Joe, 36, with ex-wife Cindy Silva, as well as Liam, 26, with ex Bridget Rooney.)
“You just do it,” Kevin told People in June 2024 of getting through the challenging period. “You just keep talking, you keep coaching [the kids], you keep interested in what they’re interested in.”

“It was excruciating,” Kelly—who shares daughter Riley, 6, with Alec—said on her Heal with Kelly podcast in January. “Even though I initiated the conversation, neither of us wanted this, and it was extremely heartbreaking.”
