31-Year Age Gap and Public Affection: Kevin Costner Linked to 40-Year-Old Beauty

71-year-old Kevin Costner has sparked rumors of a new romance after he was spotted with 40-year-old lifestyle coach Jennifer Milburn.

The Dances with Wolves star was photographed while out and about in Santa Barbara. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the actor is seen with Milburn, with eyewitnesses claiming that Costner was “extremely affectionate” toward the woman.

According to the publication, the pair stopped by a local Albertsons supermarket, where they bought cereal, grapefruit juice, steaks and vegetables.

Sources told the Daily Mail that the woman accompanying the actor was indeed Jennifer Milburn, a 40-year-old lifestyle coach from Aspen, Colorado.

Milburn is originally from Aspen, where Costner owns the sprawling Dunbar Ranch. Representatives from the Daily Mail contacted the woman and asked whether she was indeed romantically involved with the actor.

The grocery run became the latest reason for speculation about Costner’s love life. Since his 2023 divorce from Christine Baumgartner, the actor has repeatedly found himself at the center of romance rumors.

In 2024, Costner was linked to 57-year-old Jennifer Lopez after the pair were spotted together at the Kemo Sabe store in Aspen. It later emerged, however, that the encounter was not romantic.

The actor later began dating Kelly Noonan Gores, the former wife of billionaire Alec Gores. According to Us Weekly, their relationship began around 2025 and was described as “private and casual.”

A source told the publication at the time that the Oscar winner was trying to “be cautious” following his high-profile and costly divorce from Baumgartner. His ex-wife is now married to Josh Connor.

According to an insider, Costner and Kelly preferred to spend time away from the spotlight, enjoying dinners at home, walks on the beach and quiet evenings together at the actor’s estate in Santa Barbara.
