“Kevin Costner Finds Sandra Bullock to Be the Ideal Match: ‘She’s Self-Made’
Kevin Costner is feeling the pressure to find a high-profile girlfriend, and those close to him believe Sandra Bullock could be the perfect match.
“Kevin is about to turn 70 next year and is currently without a long-term partner,” a source close to the actor tells Life & Style. The 69-year-old star of Horizon: An American Saga has had a challenging year, including his recent divorce from Christine Baumgartner, 50, in February, and the disappointing reception of his passion project Horizon at Cannes.
“Everyone around Kevin believes a relationship with Sandra would be highly beneficial for him,” the insider reveals. “She’s exactly what Kevin is looking for — she’s intelligent, self-made, and exceptionally wealthy.”
The source adds that Kevin is wary of gold-diggers, especially after the substantial legal fees he incurred during his divorce. “He wants to avoid repeating that experience.”
Sandra Bullock, 60, is also single following the death of her long-time partner, photographer Bryan Randall, who passed away on August 5, 2023, after a private battle with ALS. Despite Kevin’s brief connection with singer Jewel, he is currently single.
“This is the first time in 30 years that both Sandra and Kevin are single and open to new relationships at the same time,” the insider notes.
However, the source also mentions that Kevin’s ego could be a hurdle. “Sandra is naturally humble and doesn’t view herself as a ‘hot girl,’ but Kevin, who enjoys being seen as a sex symbol, might find this challenging,” they say. Kevin had been notably in the spotlight at Cannes earlier this year, enjoying the attention.
Despite his strong bond with his daughters, who will support him in his later years, Kevin is looking for a romantic partner. “He enjoys living with a woman, and his daughters, while devoted, aren’t a substitute for a romantic relationship,”.
Kevin’s previous marriage to Christine lasted 18 years before she filed for divorce in May 2023. The separation became contentious, with Kevin requesting Christine to vacate their home. Following a court ruling on July 5, 2023, Kevin was ordered to pay $129,755 per month in child support, a significant reduction from Christine’s initial request.
