(NewsNation) — Kevin Costner may have lost his wife and $100 million this year, but he’s got women all over the United States willing to do almost anything to console him.
The unlikely Hunk of Hollywood, 69, is being pursued by “every single woman in New York, Los Angeles, Aspen and everywhere in between,” my L.A. source laughed.
‘Real Housewives’ star Kyle Richards courts Kevin Costner
Indeed, he’s caught the eye of all the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, including Teddi Mellencamp and Kyle Richards, both freshly divorced and who both courted Costner openly.
And it’s similar on the East Coast. When one socialite found out Costner attended a NYC party hosted by Jason Binn last month, she wailed, “Oh my god! I was supposed to go to that but bailed! Why didn’t anyone tell me Kevin (expletive) Costner was going to be there?!”
And Costner – whose beloved character was just killed off of “Yellowstone” – is a bonafide catch. While he may be $100 million short – he’s worth at least twice that and has a $500 million property portfolio.

Kevin Costner ‘a true gentleman’: Former date
But beyond that, according to one woman who dated him, the actor has the “biggest hands in the business” and “is a true gentleman. He will open every door and stand up when you enter a room.”
Another socialite in NYC confirmed this and added, “He makes you feel like you’re the only woman in the world when he talks to you and is always aware of where you are and if you’re sitting down, he will always get your chair. I told my boyfriend to learn something from Kevin – or I’d switch.”
But women who have full-time jobs need not apply as Costner’s girlfriend. As his former paramour said, “he owns so many houses and likes to travel last minute. He will say ‘Let’s go to Aspen today’ and if you have a job… you can’t. The problem is, he wants a woman with her own life and a job…. But his life isn’t conducive to that.”
A representative for Costner didn’t return emails.
