"She's special," Costner says of Jewel, "and I don't want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that's what we have."
The Yellowstone star stopped by SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday (June 18) to promote his new movie Horizon: An American Saga - and break his silence on that dating chatter.He’s not hooked up, not in in love right now. “Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out,” he tells Stern. “She’s special, and I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have.”The pair apparently bonded when they were hosted on Necker Island, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson’s private hideaway. “I got on a plane with nine people - Jewel was one of them,” he explains. “She was somebody I just had some tremendous conversations with.”
