The 49-year-old Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Jewel Kilcher was spotted getting cozy with an Oscar-winning actor last month, which made people question their relationship. They tried to be discreet, but people who watched them could guess something was fishing between them.
The American singer-songwriter assisted her father by singing and yodeling while growing up. She won The Masked Singer Season 6 in 2021. She performed on streets, in cafes, in small gigs, and in bands before getting spotted by Inga Vainshtein in August 1993.
Inga became Jewel’s manager, supported her morally and financially, and shaped the first five years of her music career. She released her first album, Pieces of You, in 1995. Besides that, her book of poetry was released in 1998.
Jewel is a soprano and owns various Taylor Guitars. She runs an NGO with her elder brother and mother, focusing on sustainable development and education. Moreover, she raised funds to support cancer patients and supported her ‘Project Clean Water’ program and public housing.
Who Is Jewel Dating Now?
Jewel Kilcher is reportedly dating Kevin Costner. It all started when Jewel Kilcher attended the tennis fundraising program for the Inspiring Children Foundation in the British Virgin Islands in November 2023.
The fundraising tennis event is held every year at Necker Island, and Jewel attends it. Meanwhile, the tennis player, Genie Bouchard, supports them in playing doubles.
However, Kevin Costner was the new guest this time. According to an Instagram video shared by Jewel on 28 November 2023, she delivered a speech during the event while Kevin Costner held her waist from behind.
Jewel attended the event as the founder, and Kevin appeared as a guest. Reportedly, they were already hanging out in the Caribbean a week before the event and returned together. She shared a reel addressing various moments from a trip with him and thanked him for mentoring the children from the foundation.
Kevin’s divorce from his wife, Christine Baumgartner, was finalized on 19 September 2023. On the other hand, Jewel divorced her husband, a professional rodeo cowboy named Ty Murray, in 2014. So, some people think Jewel and Kevin must have been trauma-bonded, and he must be the better fit according to her wish list.
Jewel is reportedly dating Kevin because both are attracted to each other. She is an independent lady and has no other reason to do so. Their relationship is fresh, though not brand new.
Kevin Costner
Born in 1955, Kevin Michael Costner is a movie star, filmmaker, and musician. Costner began acting in the last year of college, and the actor Richard Burton encouraged him to go ahead in this field. Kevin debuted through Sizzle Beach, U.S.A. (1981) and came into the limelight through The Untouchables (1987).
Apart from movies, Kevin is a singer in some bands. He is inclined toward baseball, and several of his films include the baseball theme. He practices and plays baseball and partially owns a baseball team.
Kevin purchased an oil separations company from The United States Government in 1995, opened a casino and restaurant in 1991, and sold it in 2020. The same year, he co-founded the entertainment travel app HearHere.
Kevin’s ex-wives are Cindy Silva and Christine Baumgartner. Meanwhile, he was romantically linked to Bridget Rooney, Birgit Cunningham, and Elle Macpherson.
Jewel’s Previous Relationships
Jewel had a short-lived relationship with the American actor and director Sean Penn. She met him in 1995, and her debut album was released the same year. Sean called her after spotting her at her first TV break, but she assumed it to be a prank call.
However, Sean called her back, and they got closer. Soon, she learned about his witty and romantic side. He helped her bring the best out of her, asked her to help him write his song, and accompanied her on her tour.
Jewel married the world champion cowboy and professional bull rider Ty Murray in August 2008, and they revealed their relationship two years later. Jewel claimed to prioritize their son, Kase Townes Murray, who was born in July 2011. Their marriage lasted six years, while their relationship lasted sixteen years.
Jewel and Murray divorced in 2014 but pledged to remain friends forever. Her son is a teen and loves to travel with her. Murray married Paige Duke, a sideline reporter for FOX Sports and a cookbook author, in North Carolina in November 2017.
Paige gave birth to Murray’s daughter, Oakley, in September 2018. Currently, Kase Townes Murray and Oakley are following their father’s footsteps.
