Kevin Costner is moving on after his bitter split from ex Christine Baumgartner, with the actor now looking cosy and "flirty" with American singing sensation Jewel.
Oscar-winning actor Kevin started divorce proceedings with Christine, his wife of almost 19 years, back in May. The couple recently settled their divorce. It was back in September that the couple signed off on a three-page settlement, with the judge reportedly informing Christine that their 18-year-old prenup would be enforced and if she did not agree she would have to pay over $1million plus attorney's fees to Kevin.
