The Necker Island Mystery: Is Jewel the One?

In late 2023, the internet exploded with photos of singer Jewel sitting on Costner’s lap at Richard Branson’s private Necker Island. Rumors suggested Branson himself played matchmaker. For months, sources “close to the couple” claimed they were a perfect match because both love music, the outdoors, and are fiercely private. However, in 2024,

Costner addressed the rumors directly, saying they are “very special” friends but never actually dated. He explained that they shared a private plane with seven other people, but the media only focused on the two of them. Despite the denial, fans still speculate that there was a “brief, intense spark.”
