Following a divorce, it’s common for one or both parties to make changes. Perhaps some new clothes? A brand-new vehicle? Perhaps a new hairstyle, a new career, or a new social circle to go out and drink with?
My argument is that, after going through something as life-altering and, typically, traumatizing as a formal separation from someone you thought you would be in love with forever, it’s only normal to make changes to your daily life.
It appears that even celebrities can undergo post-divorce makeovers. As it happens, if Radar Online is to be believed, Kevin Costner is currently in the middle of one.
The short version of Costner’s love life and how it unfolded in 2023—which our coverage of it has been extensive—is that the Dances With Wolves star and Christine Baumgartner parted ways last year after 19 years of marriage.
According to all reports, Costner was taken aback by his ex-wife’s decision, while Christine was the one who started the divorce process. After an inevitable court struggle, Baumgartner received an order for Costner to pay $63,209 in child support each month.
Although it might seem like a lot, it is far less than the $161,592 that Christine was reportedly looking for.
A few months later, the 69-year-old Costner was the focus of several rumors that connected him to different women. I suppose this is to be anticipated, given the day his divorce was finalized, he became become one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors.
In recent months, there has been a lot of conjecture that he is now dating singer Jewel; the two are said to have taken a plane trip together for vacation. In an April interview, Jewel herself mentioned Kevin, slyly describing the actor as “a great person.”
Regarding the speculations that connected the two of them, she said in the same interview, “The public fascination is intense for sure.”

The world won’t likely find out if Costner has found new love until an official announcement is released, but Radar Online claims that the leading man in Yellowstone has changed since splitting from Christine.
“He fusses over his hair nonstop and is now getting weaves,” a source reportedly told news outlet The Globe. “He is dabbling in other beauty treatments like Botox and spray tans to look younger.”
“He used to be a wash-and-go guy, but now he spends hours getting ready and gets really obsessed with his hair,” the insider said. With the bleached fuzz on top of his head, his buddies make fun of him for appearing like a scarecrow, but he doesn’t mind because he thinks it looks wonderful.
Indeed, when Costner was photographed at the Cannes Film Festival this month to introduce the first movie in his new four-part Western serial Horizon: An American serial, he flashed bleached blond hair and a noticeably longer hairline.

The Miracle of Nature: The Story of Genetically Identical Triplets
When Becki-Jo Allen learned she was expecting triplets, her life was completely turned upside down. The young mother from England, already caring for her daughter Indiana, was stunned by the news that she would soon have three more children. However, what happened next was even more unexpected.
Becki-Jo’s journey began when she started feeling unwell and suspected she might be pregnant again. Her excitement grew when a scan confirmed she was expecting triplets. Though the news came as a surprise, Becki-Jo was thrilled by the prospect of expanding her family.
However, there were complications with the pregnancy. At 31 weeks, Becki-Jo was rushed to the hospital and underwent a Caesarean section to deliver her triplets. The babies were born prematurely and were very small, with the lightest weighing just 3.3 pounds. They needed to spend six weeks in special care, fighting for their lives.
Against the odds, the triplets survived and thrived. As they grew, Becki-Jo noticed that people often had trouble telling them apart. Strangers would stop her on the street, asking if they were identical. While Becki-Jo was sure they were not, she decided to get a DNA test to be certain. The results revealed that the triplets were genetically identical—a rare occurrence, happening only one in 200 million times.
Raising triplets is no easy feat, and Becki-Jo’s family requires a lot of help. The household is always busy, with the washing machine running nearly constantly. Despite the chaos, Becki-Jo is incredibly grateful for her miracle children.
As the triplets grow, each one is developing their own unique personality, but Becki-Jo is amazed by the deep bond they share. “It’s incredible to see how close they are,” she said. “They’re always together and have their own little language.”
Becki-Jo’s story is a testament to the power of nature and the unpredictability of life. Though the birth of her genetically identical triplets came as a surprise, they have brought her immense joy and love. Despite the challenges of raising triplets, Becki-Jo feels blessed by the miracle of her children and the special connection they share.
