Kevin Costner has been spending time with 39-year-old lifestyle influencer McKenna Wesley at his properties in Santa Barbara and Aspen, a development Wesley's own representative declined to discuss.
The 71-year-old actor, whose contentious divorce from Christine Baumgartner was finalized in 2024, was first photographed with Wesley at a screening of his classic film Field of Dreams at Scottsdale Stadium in Arizona last October. Anonymous sources told Page Six that Wesley has since visited Costner's homes on multiple occasions.
Wesley, who goes by @thebubblyblonde on Instagram and has more than 400,000 followers, lives in Scottsdale. A representative for Wesley offered a carefully worded non-denial:
"McKenna doesn't wish to comment on her relationship with Mr. Costner."
Costner himself has not commented publicly. No spokesperson statement from his camp appeared in the reporting.
One anonymous source placed the introduction in Scottsdale roughly a year before the story broke. The connection, the source said, was straightforward:
"They met in Scottsdale about a year ago. They both love to golf."
By October 2025, the two were photographed together at the Field of Dreams screening at Scottsdale Stadium. Costner rose to fame in 1987 with back-to-back roles in The Untouchables and No Way Out, and Field of Dreams cemented him as one of Hollywood's most bankable leading men. More recently, he anchored the hit series Yellowstone, the sprawling ranch drama created by Taylor Sheridan, before a high-profile departure from the show.
In August, paparazzi captured Costner and Wesley at lunch overlooking the sea in Santa Barbara. A second anonymous source said Wesley had been Costner's guest at both his Santa Barbara and Aspen properties on multiple occasions.
"She has been his guest on multiple occasions at his Santa Barbara and Aspen properties."
Costner's personal life has been turbulent. His second wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce in May 2023 after 18 years of marriage. Court documents referenced in the reporting described conflicts over finances, a contested prenuptial agreement, child support amounts, and disagreements over Costner's heavy work schedule. The divorce was finalized in 2024.
That marriage was not Costner's first to end publicly. His marriage to Cindy Silva ended in 1994 amid unverified rumors of infidelity. His on-set reputation has also drawn scrutiny over the years, a reminder that stardom and personal friction have long traveled together in Costner's career.
Wesley is not the only younger woman Costner has been linked to since the divorce. Lifestyle coach Jennifer Milburn, described as more than 30 years Costner's junior, was recently seen with the actor. Socialite Kelly Noonan Gores has also been mentioned in connection with him. Neither relationship has been confirmed or characterized by anyone on the record.
What stands out in the reporting is the gap between what the anonymous sources describe and what anyone will say publicly. Two unnamed sources spoke freely to Page Six about golf outings, property visits, and the timeline. Wesley's representative, by contrast, referred specifically to "her relationship with Mr. Costner", acknowledging a relationship exists while refusing to define it.
Costner, for his part, has said nothing. No statement from his team appeared in the coverage. That silence leaves the nature of the relationship, romantic, platonic, or something in between, entirely undefined by anyone willing to attach a name to a claim.
Costner's post-Yellowstone chapter has kept him in the public eye. His ambitious Western film project, along with the 4K restoration premiere of Dances With Wolves at the Locarno Film Festival, have kept his name in entertainment headlines. Meanwhile, the franchise he left behind has generated its own legal drama, a TV writer sued Sheridan, claiming he lifted her pitch to create Yellowstone in the first place.
At 71, Costner is free to spend time with whomever he chooses. But the pattern, anonymous sources doing the talking, representatives declining to comment, and no one willing to go on the record, is the oldest game in Hollywood publicity. Whether this is a genuine relationship or a carefully managed drip of gossip, the only people who know aren't saying.
