Kevin Costner Reportedly Interested in Elizabeth Hurley Following Divorce

Kevin Costner is embracing the single life after his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, and according to a source, he’s recently been thinking about actress Elizabeth Hurley — someone he’s reportedly admired for years.

The Yellowstone star, 70, is said to have first met Hurley, 60, in the late 1990s when he was dating her then-roommate, Birgit Cunningham. At the time, he was reportedly struck by Hurley’s charm and beauty. “He always thought she was incredibly attractive,” says the insider. “There was a real connection between them, and although nothing was ever confirmed, there were rumors they may have had a brief romance.”

Since his split from Baumgartner — the couple separated in May 2023 and finalized their divorce in February 2024 — Costner has been reflecting on past connections. According to the source, Hurley has been on his mind “quite a bit” in recent months. “Kevin’s confided to friends that if the opportunity ever came up, he wouldn’t hesitate to pursue something with Elizabeth.”

The source adds that Costner sees Hurley as an ideal match. “She’s vibrant, independent, and lives an exciting life. He really admires her spirit. Plus, they’re close in age and share a similar level of fame — it just makes sense to him.”

However, one potential roadblock remains: Hurley’s current relationship with country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, 63. The pair confirmed their romance in April and appear to be going strong, recently sharing a cozy photo in England alongside a tortoise they discovered together.

“Right now, her relationship with Billy Ray is the only thing standing in the way,” the source says. “But if that ever changes, Kevin would absolutely be interested.”
