Jewel ‘blushes’ at Kevin Costner dating rumors
As a new magazine profile of Jewel attests, the singer-songwriter continues to keep people guessing — these days about her rumored romance with Kevin Costner, her upcoming “immersive art experience” in Arkansas and the nasty-looking cut on her right index finger, which she displayed in two recent Tiktok videos.
A couple of fans good-naturedly alluded to reports that she has been dating “Yellowstone” star Costner, with one saying the cut probably was caused by “Kevin Costner eating an apple with his pocket knife on your front porch when you got a little too close!”
A new profile for Elle revealed that Jewel’s injury came from a raven bite. The musician, 49, was posing for a photo with an actual live raven, while standing on a giant turntable that rotated her like “a life-size music box dancer.” Dressed in an ivory-colored gown, Jewel held up her right arm. A shiny black raptor was perched on her wrist and took at least one nip that drew blood.
The photo shoot was for a large hologram of Jewel that will greet visitors to “The Portal: An Art Experience by Jewel,” opening on May 4 at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas. The 90-minute “experience” also features 10 pieces she’s selected from the museum, an outdoor, choreographed 200-piece drone light show and a portrait of her 12-year-old son that she painted herself after taking a two-week class in Rome.
The Elle story appeared to be timed for Jewel’s exhibition, but it also caught up with her upcoming co-headlining tours with Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls. And, the story let Jewel address rumors and reports that she’s dating Costner, 69.
“He’s a great person,” Jewel said, “blushing,” according to Elle. She didn’t say anything more about the Oscar-winning movie star and director.
