Who is Kelly Noonan? What we know about the writer-producer amid rumored romance with Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner is rumored to be dating Kelly Noonan.

Kelly Noonan is the writer, director, and producer of the 2017 award-winning feature-length documentary Heal. Kevin Costner is reportedly "casually dating" Noonan, following his recent split from ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.

While speaking to Us Weekly, an insider dished out details about their relationship and said,

"They are hanging out casually and were connected by friends. They both frequent Aspen often and have mutual friend groups. They have been getting to know each other and seeing each other casually when they can."

The two were recently spotted together, and a source told People that they met through mutual friends,

"Kelly is seeing Kevin, but it's very casual. She thinks he's wonderful and interesting."

The source also mentioned that dating is "not a huge priority" for Noonan as the past year was "tumultuous" for her. Noonan separated from her husband last summer, and her Pacific Palisades house burned down. While Costner resides in Carpinteria, California, Noonan lives almost 100 miles away in Manhattan Beach.

The two split in May 2023, when Baumgartner filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. They fought an ugly legal battle over child support and their prenup agreement and eventually settled last year.

While Baumgartner sought $250,000 in monthly child support, she only received $63,000 as per the terms of the settlement. After Baumgartner filed for divorce from Kevin, the actor-filmmaker was romantically linked with singer Jewel after the two were spotted together at a charity event. However, Kevin Costner clarified his relationship status during an interview on The Howard Stern Show in June 2024, and confirmed that he and Jewel are "friends."
