Kevin Costner reportedly desperate for a fling with Demi Moore: The two have been flirting for a while now

evin Costner may be turning a page in both his personal and romantic life following a turbulent period that included his highly publicized divorce from Christine Baumgartner. According to insiders, the famour actor has set his sights on longtime friend Demi Moore.

Moore, who had been considered a frontrunner for Best Actress after winning both the Golden Globe and SAG Awards for her role in The Substance, was unexpectedly edged out by 26-year-old Mikey Madison.

The emotional blow reportedly hit Moore hard, with one source noting: “It’s no secret that losing out to a woman less than half her age was a hard blow for Demi.”

That’s where Costner, 70, entered the picture more visibly. The Oscar-winning Dances With Wolves director reportedly reached out to Moore in the aftermath, offering support and encouragement. But sources suggest his intentions may extend beyond friendly concern.

“Kevin has been going out of his way to remind her that she’s still one of the most gorgeous women in the world,” said a source close to the situation. “But he definitely has an ulterior motive.”
