Newly Single 'Yellowstone' Superfan Jennifer Lopez Seen Mingling With Kevin Costner

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Jennifer Lopez was spotted enjoying the single life as she closed out 2024 in Aspen, CO — and she wasn't the only star out near the slopes.

The actress and singer, 55, partied at Kemo Sabe, a saloon in Aspen, with her manager, Benny Medina, and some friends, according to photos obtained by TMZ. As the "Jenny From The Block" singer enjoyed her time out on the town, the group was joined by none other than Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner.

The 69-year-old actor and the pop icon both went through divorces in 2024 — Costner's 20-year marriage with Christine Baumgartner officially ended in April, while Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August — so the two stars probably had plenty to talk about. Costner also departed from the beloved series Yellowstone this year, and Lopez, who is known to be a fan, may have had questions about the show.

Affleck, 52, mentioned his wife's love of the Paramount drama on a podcast in 2023, saying, "I'm kind of disturbed by the fact that my wife really likes Yellowstone."

Whether the meetup between Lopez and Costner was planned or a coincidence, both stars looked delighted as they enjoyed the Colorado saloon. In one photo, J.Lo even stuck her tongue out directly at the camera. The Maid in Manhattan actress wore a black cowboy hat and a turtleneck and was seen dancing in her seat. The Bull Durham actor, for his part, looked cozy in a black coat and tan scarf.

Costner and Lopez have one other thing in common — they are both parents to children from blended families. Costner shares Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Joe, 36 with his ex-wife Cindy Silva. He has Liam, 26, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Rooney, and he and Baumgartner are parents to Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14. Lopez, for her part, is mom to twins Max and Emme, 16, who she shares with ex Marc Anthony. She has also remained a devoted stepmom to Affleck's three children Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
