Kevin Costner recently extinguished the swirling rumors linking him romantically with singer-songwriter Jewel. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show to promote his new film, Horizon: An American Saga, Costner emphasized that his relationship with Jewel is purely platonic. “Jewel and I are just friends. We’ve never dated,” Costner clarified. “She’s a remarkable person and I cherish our friendship deeply.”
The rumors gained traction after the duo was spotted together at various events, including a tennis fundraiser in the British Virgin Islands. However, both have repeatedly underscored the platonic nature of their relationship. Jewel herself has described Costner as “a great person,” highlighting the intense public fascination with their friendship.
Aside from addressing rumors, Costner also delved into his storied career, particularly his role opposite Whitney Houston in the iconic film The Bodyguard. He shared how he insisted on casting Houston for her cinematic charm and vocal prowess, despite other big names being considered. Costner recalled advocating for Houston to start her rendition of “I Will Always Love You” a cappella, to showcase her boldness and emotional depth.
Moreover, Costner revealed his past plans for a sequel to The Bodyguard that would have potentially starred Princess Diana. Despite the intriguing premise, the project was never realized, largely due to Diana’s untimely death.
As Costner continues to explore new creative avenues, including a recent venture into coffee with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, his interview served as a poignant reflection on past collaborations and clarified his current personal life.
