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.

My Neighbor Ruined the Peach Orchard I Received from My Grandparents, I Ensured She Regretted Her Actions
Lisa inherited her grandparents’ cherished peach orchard after they passed away. It had been a part of her family for over fifty years, filled with memories of joyful harvest parties with friends and neighbors, especially her beloved neighbor Sam, who had taught her woodworking and shared many stories.
Determined to honor her grandparents, Lisa planned to host the harvest party that year. However, her plans were soon disrupted by a new neighbor, Karen, who seemed intent on ruining everything. On the first day Karen moved in, she complained about the peach trees, demanding that Lisa remove them because their leaves were blowing onto her property.
Taken aback by Karen’s harsh attitude, Lisa explained how the trees were important to her and the community. But Karen was unsympathetic and made it clear that she wouldn’t stop until the trees were gone.
Soon after, Lisa began hearing disturbing news from her neighbors about Karen’s actions, including a cruel incident where she had a dog put down by falsely claiming it attacked her child. At their annual peach harvest party, Karen called the police, claiming the noise was too loud, forcing Lisa to end the gathering prematurely. Things escalated further when Lisa discovered that her truck tires had been slashed and her cat was injured, all signs pointing to Karen’s involvement.
One evening, Lisa caught Karen smirking from her porch, further infuriating her. Lisa felt compelled to defend her family’s legacy but needed proof of Karen’s wrongdoing. When she and her father discovered copper nails driven into the peach trees, they set up cameras to catch the culprit.
It didn’t take long to capture Karen on tape, and when they confronted her, she pretended to be remorseful. But Lisa knew she couldn’t let her get away with it. She gathered evidence of the damage and filed a lawsuit against Karen, even launching a website detailing Karen’s misdeeds. The site gained traction, and Lisa reached out to a friend in the news.
With media coverage and community support, protests against Karen’s actions emerged, forcing the authorities to take action. Karen was held accountable for the damage she caused, and she was ultimately forced to sell her house and leave the neighborhood.
With Karen gone, Lisa set about restoring the orchard, excited to host the harvest party once again. The community celebrated together, and Lisa felt proud to continue her grandparents’ legacy. She learned the importance of standing up for what is right and the power of community support in overcoming challenges.
