Kevin Costner, unlike, for example, Leonardo DiCaprio, doesn’t have a reputation for dating very young beauties. Of course, his now ex-wife Christine Baumgartner is younger than the actor—by “only” 20 years. However, his new girlfriend, Rainey Castaneda, is nearly 40 years younger than him! Costner will turn 70 in two months, while Rainey is only 30.
According to an insider who was at a party hosted by New York publisher Jason Binn, Kevin spent the entire evening with Castaneda. And he didn’t treat her like just an acquaintance. The actor did everything possible to impress the young woman and, clearly, succeeded. At least, according to the witness, they supposedly left the event together.
It’s worth remembering that after Kevin began his divorce proceedings with Christine, he tried to shift his focus to another woman. At that time, reports surfaced that he had started seeing singer Jewel. However, that fling was short-lived, and by the time of the Venice Film Festival this past August, Costner arrived alone.
Notably, when Kevin showed up at the party where he was flirting with Rainey Castaneda, he was clearly trying to lift his spirits. Not only is he still dealing with the fallout from his divorce earlier this year with Christine, the mother of his three daughters, but he’s also facing setbacks in his professional life. Due to a falling out with the writer of the popular series *Yellowstone*, where he had starred for four seasons, he was forced to leave the show. Additionally, the box office performance of his new film, *Horizon: Part 1*, has been significantly lower than expected.
