EXCLUSIVE: KEVIN COSTNER NEVER WANTED J.LO — SOURCES SAY STAR “WASN’T INTERESTED THEN, STILL ISN’T”
Insiders insist the Yellowstone icon kept his distance: “He’s not joining the J.Lo circus”
Despite months of feverish speculation, Kevin Costner was never romantically involved with Jennifer Lopez — and insiders say he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“There was never anything going on,” a source close to the 70-year-old Oscar winner tells #ShuterScoop. “He was friendly, that’s all. Kevin’s not interested in dating someone who lives for that level of attention.”
The rumors started swirling after the pair were seen browsing boots together at Aspen’s celeb-favorite Kemo Sabe in December. But those close to Costner say the moment was exactly that — just a moment.
“He’s been through enough,” a longtime friend explains, referencing his high-profile divorce and recent career pivots. “The last thing he needs is tabloid drama. That’s just not his world.”
Instead, Costner appears to be quietly spending time with someone from his inner circle — his longtime assistant. The two were spotted having lunch in Los Angeles earlier this week.
While Lopez has stayed silent on the rumors, those close to Costner say he hasn’t given them a second thought.
“He’s always kept his private life private,” says the friend. “If he’s finding happiness again, it’s not going to come with flashing cameras and stylists on speed dial.”
And for anyone still clinging to those Aspen photos?
“Kevin doesn’t play Hollywood games — and he definitely wasn’t playing them with Jennifer,” the insider adds. “That’s just not who he is.”
