Inside Kevin Costner And Pete Davidson's Friendship

Talk about the buddy comedy we didn't know we wanted ... "Yellowstone" star Kevin Costner has taken to the younger, now tattoo-less Pete Davidson after they both attended the Super Bowl and struck up quite the friendship. According to Vulture, their destinies first intertwined when they were invited to the Fanatics Super Bowl Party, where Davidson happened to mention to a bystander that "Field of Dreams" was his favorite Costner film. Before the game, they took a walk along the football field together, perhaps dreaming of the friendship that was blossoming right before their very eyes. Then the two got to yapping in the stands and eventually sat through the game next to one another. 

But what could have been one magical day in New Orleans turned into something more, with Page Six reporting that the two spent a weekend together in New York as they reconnected at Saturday Night Live's glitzy 50th Anniversary celebrations on Friday and went to comedian Chris Rock's 60th birthday party on Saturday. There, Davidson allegedly dipped out right as his ex, Kim Kardashian, arrived at the event. And while a source told Page Six that the stealthy departure had nothing to do with Davidson not wanting to bump into Kardashian, we would like to imagine that Costner was the one who caught word and gave his new best buddy the heads up to head out. If so, let's hope Davidson repays the favor if Kimberly Guilfoyle tries to cozy up to Costner again.

While many are questioning the nearly 40-year age gap between Kevin Costner and Pete Davidson, they are both recently single and potentially looking to mingle. Costner finalized his divorce with his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, in 2024. In an interview with GQ, Costner spoke about the state of his emotions, saying, "I'm right now looking at myself in the dark and going, 'Are you going to f***ing stand up and finish? Get up.' I'm the audience. Get up, Kevin. Get the f*** up and deal with this and find the joy every day of seeing your kids play while you're here ..." Given that Costner's been seen giving 70s prom divorced dad energy, he might benefit from Davidson cracking a few jokes to lighten the mood.

In contrast to Costner coming out of a long-standing marriage, Davidson has cycled through a laundry list of celebrity flings that have spurred plenty of wild rumors. Beyond Kim Kardashian, Davidson has dated Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Emily Ratajkowski, was famously engaged to Ariana Grande, and most recently called it quits with "Outer Banks" actress Madelyn Cline. Whether it's Davidson teaching Costner how to get back in the dating scene (with someone far younger than him) or Costner teaching Davidson that it's about quality and not quantity — we can't wait to see where this unlikely bromance goes.
