Kevin Costner Reportedly Made a 'Big Miscalculation' in Attempting to Romance Jewel
Kevin Costner's dating life is always a hot topic in Hollywood, but some insiders seem to think he isn't done with trying to romance Jewel.
The 70-year-old actor insisted to Howard Stern in June 2024 that he and the 54-year-old singer were only 'friends' and that they've 'never gone out' before. 'She's fantastic, she's special, and I don't want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that's what we have. She's special… She's everything you might think, but it just hasn't happened,' he added.

Still, a Life & Style insider claims that Costner did try to date the 'Foolish Games' singer. 'Kevin's big miscalculation in his ongoing attempts to woo Jewel is his failing to understand that she isn't done yet, and she's certainly not in any frame of mind where she would want to be arm candy,' the source said while noting that Jewel is still heavily pursuing 'her music career and writing.'
Costner's A-list lifestyle probably isn't ideal for someone focused on their career and that might be why he couldn't convince her to date him. 'He would have loved to collaborate with her and even date her, but he has to resign himself to being her number one fan instead because she still has a lot of mountains she wants to climb herself,' the insider added.
The rumors about their relationship first began in November 2023 when they were spotted cozying up together at a charity tennis tournament on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. 'Kevin looked handsome, tan and fit. All the guests were going crazy over him,' an eyewitness told In Touch Weekly in December 2023. 'He really hit it off with Jewel.'
Jewel played coy about their possible romance in an April 2024 interview with Elle. She didn't offer up much insight telling the media outlet, 'He's a great person… the public fascination is intense for sure.' They noted that she 'blushed' while talking about Costner, but that's the only clue that maybe a flirtation did occur.
Since the Jewel rumors came out, Costner has also been catching the eyes of Hoda Kotb, Jennifer Lopez, and Sharon Stone. Still, no one has officially caught his heart since his February 2024 divorce from Christine Baumgartner.Best of SheKnows

Dress Like a French Open Champion With Wilson's Latest Tennis Gear
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Perfectly timed to the French Open, Wilson has unveiled a fresh take on the 'tenniscore' aesthetic with new clay court-inspired pieces that channel the late '90s, when Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, and Steffi Graf dominated the rankings. Equal parts practical and stylish, the twofold drop reimagines heritage silhouettes with a modern edge—bringing the brand's illustrious history with the game to life both on and off the court. Since its founding in 1914, Wilson has built a legacy that spans generations of athletes and sports. Best known as the leading manufacturer of tennis racquets and balls, it's also the official supplier for NCAA basketball tournaments. 'Being a 111-year-old brand allows us the unique ability to pull from our own past and bring it to life in a new and iconic way,' says Joelle Michaeloff, Wilson's VP of design. 'If you look up what happened at this same time 26 years ago—you will find all sorts of cues that inspired this collection.' Take, for instance, bold color-blocking and piping that juxtaposes with the iconic terre battue (red clay) surface. The pieces also are engineered to perform under the specific demands of playing on clay. 'The clay itself can be dusty and stain, so we make sure that is not an issue for our players,' Michaeloff continues. 'We also make sure everything is light and breathable, so you cannot see sweat, and our players do not get too hot even when things heat up on court. We carefully articulate seams and engineer ventilation, so it not only performs but looks beautiful.' Ranging from $12 for socks to $128 for a dress, the assortment includes everything you could possibly need to play—hats, bags, you name it—created with vintage-inspired prints and high-tech fabrics built for elite-level hitting. It's all in the details: think stealthy zippered pockets, skirts designed to hold both a phone and a tennis ball, and a sleek 'brami' that blurs the line between bra and camisole. As far as outerwear, there's a relaxed pullover and a waterproof zip-up jacket, perfect for layering pre- or post-match, weather be damned. 'We are constantly pushing innovation and then figuring out ways to disguise it by engineering each garment to look like you could hang out or go out in it,' Michaeloff adds. Among other standout pieces is a dress worn on the court by Wilson player Marta Kostyuk herself, paired with new footwear she described as 'performing like a running shoe but helping me like a race car.' According to Michaeloff, Kostyuk plays an integral role in Wilson's design process: 'She gives excellent feedback that pushes us to make better products.' For all the aspiring pros, to quote the old saying: If the shoe fits…

How Your Zodiac Sign Influences Your Behavior In A Relationship
We've all read the generic horoscopes: Aries is bold, Pisces is sensitive, Scorpio is intense. But when it comes to how you actually behave in relationships, your sign reveals some surprisingly deep-rooted emotional patterns—ones you may not even be conscious of. These aren't just traits—they're survival strategies, love languages, and quiet vulnerabilities that shape how you connect, detach, or stay stuck. If you've ever wondered why you crave constant reassurance, avoid confrontation, or love too hard too fast, your zodiac sign might hold the emotional blueprint. This isn't about who you're 'compatible' with—it's about the unconscious behaviors you bring into love, loyalty, sabotage, and self-protection. Here's how each sign really acts in relationships, and what it might say about what you're still healing. You come in hot—intense, passionate, all-in from day one. But deep down, you're afraid love will dull you, tame you, or worse—trap you. So you pick emotional fights to feel alive again. According to Allure, Aries often approach relationships with fiery intensity and a need to keep things exciting. What looks like impulsiveness is often just fear of emotional stagnation. You mistake peace for boredom. And sometimes you destroy intimacy just to feel like you still have power. You crave comfort, but not just for yourself—you want to shape your partner's habits, moods, and rhythms to match yours. You call it loyalty, but it often becomes quiet domination. When someone disrupts your emotional routine, you shut down instead of adjusting. As described by Elle, Taurus seeks stability and can become possessive when their sense of security is threatened. You fear change because it threatens your sense of safety. But love isn't a garden you can just plant and forget. You have to let it grow wild sometimes, even when it scares you. You're dazzling, attentive, curious—but part of you is always outside the moment, narrating it. You flirt with connection but hesitate to go all the way in. Your mind is miles ahead of your heart, and that emotional lag makes things feel temporary. You chase stimulation over stability. But deep down, you want to be known beneath the wit and charm. Love won't stick until you stop performing and start revealing. You anticipate needs before they're voiced, creating a cocoon of emotional care. But your nurturing often comes with invisible strings: 'Don't leave. Don't grow away from me.' When they do, you feel betrayed—like your love wasn't enough. As Allure points out, Cancer's deep need to nurture and protect sometimes leads to over-involvement. You use caretaking as control. It feels generous, but it's secretly transactional. Letting go of that grip could be the most loving thing you do. You love boldly and want your partner to see you as irreplaceable. But sometimes you mistake admiration for intimacy. You want to be the center, but you struggle when someone else's needs take up space. You aren't shallow—you're scared of being invisible. You crave impact, not just affection. Real connection happens when you let yourself be ordinary, too. You spot what's broken in the relationship—and try to solve it before it gets worse. But underneath your logic is a deep fear that you're not lovable unless you're useful. You hustle for emotional safety instead of letting someone show up for you. Your perfectionism is a shield. You correct because you care, but it can feel cold. Vulnerability, not vigilance, is your missing piece. You're the diplomat, the harmonizer, the one who makes it all look effortless. But sometimes you vanish so the relationship can survive. You say yes when you want to scream. As discussed by Self, Libras tend to prioritize harmony and avoid conflict, sometimes losing themselves in the process. You confuse peace with passivity. You think love means sacrificing your truth for someone else's comfort. But real love asks you to show up, even when it makes things messy. You connect on soul-level intensity, but when hurt, you withdraw, plot, or subtly retaliate. You think vulnerability is a liability, so you keep emotional receipts. Love becomes a power game where no one wins. You want loyalty, but your tests can break the very trust you crave. Intimacy scares you because it softens you. But softness is not surrender—it's where real connection begins. You value independence, adventure, and space—but sometimes it's a smokescreen. You keep things casual not because you don't care, but because you care too much and don't want to get trapped. Love threatens your identity, and that makes you run. You fear intimacy will limit your joy. But the right relationship will never cage you. It will expand what freedom means. You show love through responsibility, loyalty, and long-term planning. But you often bypass emotional presence because you're focused on 'building' something solid. You're dependable, but emotionally distant. You fear being vulnerable because it feels inefficient. But love isn't a goal—it's a process. And your partner needs you to feel with them, not just provide for them. You analyze, explain, detach—because staying in your head feels safer than being in your heart. You fear getting swallowed by emotions, so you mask them in philosophy or rebellion. That distance keeps people intrigued—but also alone. You long for connection on your own terms. But emotional closeness doesn't come with logic. It asks you to stay even when things stop making sense. You fall hard, dissolve boundaries, and romanticize pain as part of the bond. You think being all-in means erasing yourself. But then you wake up feeling lost and resentful. You confuse intensity with intimacy. You don't need to bleed to prove your love. The real magic is when you stay rooted and connected.

Shop The Exact Fashion In 'And Just Like That...' Season 3 – Carrie's Most Maximalist Looks Yet
And Just Like That... has returned for Season 3, and like the rest of its loyal fans, we're as captivated by the will-they, won't-they long distance travails of Carrie and Aidan as the outfits our protagonist – alongside Charlotte, Miranda, Lisa and Seema – will be wearing. The Sex and the City revival continues to deliver viral fashion moments with aplomb (see the enormous gingham hat sported by Carrie in episode 1) while advancing the style evolution of our favourite trio. Miranda now favours quiet luxury (Loro Piana checked coat incoming), Charlotte is staying true to her Upper East Side preppy and Carrie's outfits are more eclectic than ever. Costume Designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago continue to helm the show, having worked alongside Patricia Field on Sex and the City. On approaching styling for the reboot, Rogers told The Golden Globes: 'The girls were so excited to be back, like we never left. It was the same atmosphere, the same energy. They loved to look through the racks and pull things up and we'd all look in the mirror with the same critical eye and say, 'That needs to be shorter, or that's not flattering...' We did a vote. It was really collaborative and fun.' FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Summing up their individual style, Rogers shares: 'I'd like to describe Carrie as whimsical, the best word for Charlotte is polished, and Miranda, she's more relaxed now.' Following its return to screens (stream AJLT on Sky and Now TV in the UK with new episodes every Friday ), we've spotted Charlotte in Veronica Beard, Roger Vivier and Marni with Miranda opting for neutral creams and grey, plus earthy tones of green while dating Rosie O'Donnell's Sister Mary. Meanwhile Carrie's looks are among her most maximalist yet, with a beautifully romantic rose-embedded Simone Rocha runway dress and jacket worn to send lovelorn postcards to Aidan, and a print clash pairing of a graphic print cotton top and some Zimmermann silk capri pants. Moving on from her beloved Manolos, Ms Bradshaw favours Aquazurra heels this season, worn for five outfits so far and counting. Reassuming its position as one of the most closely followed, imaginatively styled and widely debated comedy dramas of our time, we've rounded up the best looks, viral moments and exact matches from And Just Like That... season three. Never knowingly overdressed, Carrie wears Simone Rocha's beautifully romantic SS24 dress and jacket straight from the runway to write and send Aidan's heart-emblazoned postcard. The corseted dress is decorated with 3D roses on the bodice and hips, while the gauzy jacket has a utilitarian feel with pockets and an oversized hood. She pairs them with bejewelled Aquazurra So Nude sandals. While the exact dress isn't available you can shop similar from the designer. In the most outlandish outfit of the episode, Carrie goes maximal in a huge gingham hat by Maryam Keyhani, worn with a multi-coloured striped Ossie Clarke dress (which with AJLT's costume designers drew comparisons to Carrie's striped strapless dress in SATC Season 6, Episode 1). White Dr. Scholl sliders and a Pierre Cardin navy logoed cross-body bag add a touch of practicality to the now-viral look. Charlotte pairs a high neck polkadot blouse with smart black trousers and Jennifer Chamandi heels (the exact pair later spotted on Lisa Todd Wexley) for a trip to the vets. You can shop her exact heels and bag now. Miranda opts for an olive Weekend Max Mara jumpsuit to meet Carrie and Charlotte for drinks, and you can shop the exact style now. As Lisa attends husband Herbert's campaign event, Nicole Ari Parker stuns in a citrus brights La Double J column dress worn with a Bottega bag, both of which you can shop now. While Carrie seeks advice on her phone sex fail with Aidan, Charlotte stays true to her roots in a floral print Marni dress, available to shop in sale now. Dressed for what we assume is a date night, Carrie stuns in an crystal embellished Alex Perry dress which sold out as soon as paparazzi captured filming. Dubbed 'the new Carrie dress' it is worn with a silver diamanté bag and another pair of Aquazurra heels. Shop a version of it now.
