Kevin Costner may be back on the market, and it seems he has his eye on none other than music legend Cher. The Hollywood veteran, recently divorced after 18 years of marriage, was reportedly enamored with Cher during her performance at SNL’s anniversary event, leaving her younger boyfriend, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, fuming.
According to insiders, Costner, 70, was seen in awe as Cher, 78, took the stage in a daring sheer ensemble. The Yellowstone star managed to secure a seat next to the singer and spent the evening lavishing her with attention. Sources at the event said Cher responded warmly, engaging in flirtatious banter with the Oscar-winning actor.
“A.E. was visibly irritated,” a source revealed. “Sitting beside Costner, he felt overshadowed and unable to compete with a Hollywood heavyweight like him. He’s now questioning whether Cher is simply keeping him around for show while entertaining other options.”
Tension rises in Cher’s relationship
Cher and Edwards, 39, have been together for over two years, but their romance has faced its fair share of speculation. The music executive has allegedly been hesitant about marriage, despite Cher’s repeated hints. Adding to the tension, insiders claim he has a wandering eye, fueling whispers of infidelity.
While Cher’s camp denies any trouble in paradise, some sources suggest otherwise. “Costner is single and making his intentions known,” another insider shared. “He’s drawn to powerful, iconic women, and Cher fits that mold perfectly. If Edwards isn’t careful, he could lose her.”
A star-studded spectacle
At the event, Costner was spotted standing with his hands on his head in admiration as Cher performed. Witnesses described the moment as one where the actor seemed completely enthralled by the singer’s presence. Meanwhile, Edwards, seated on the other side of Cher, appeared tense and disengaged.
Hollywood insiders believe Costner’s interest in Cher isn’t just casual admiration. “Kevin has been through a rough divorce, and he’s ready for a fresh start,” a source explained. “He wants someone who understands the pressures of fame, and Cher certainly does.”
For now, Cher and Edwards are still together, but those close to them say the tension is undeniable. If Costner continues to pursue the iconic performer, their relationship could be on shaky ground.
As for Cher, she has yet to publicly comment on the situation. However, one thing is certain—whether it’s her music or her love life, she always knows how to keep the spotlight on her.
