The pop star was seen at a trendy celebrity haunt in Aspen, Colorado, this weekend, alongside Yellowstone’s iconic lead, Kevin Costner.
According to TMZ, the duo didn’t arrive or depart together, but their shared time at the Aspen hotspot has sparked a frenzy of gossip.

Are Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner Dating?
The straightforward answer is no—at least
There’s no public confirmation of a romance. According to TMZ, Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Costner were spotted at the upscale Kemo Sabe bar in Aspen, Colorado, on Friday, December 27, 2024, but their encounter appears coincidental. Lopez was enjoying the evening with friends and her longtime manager, Benny Medina, when Costner, also present at the celebrity-favored venue, approached their group to join the conversation.
Their interaction, though brief, has ignited rampant speculation due to both stars being newly single after high-profile divorces—Lopez from Ben Affleck and Costner from Christine Baumgartner—adding fuel to the rumor mill about a potential spark between the two A-listers.
