OMG! Hoda Kotb & Kevin Costner Spotted Together Again—Flirty Chemistry or Just Friendly Banter? Fans Can’t Decide!
Hoda Kotb and Kevin Costner have set tongues wagging yet again after their recent appearance together on Today with Hoda & Jenna. The Yellowstone star and the beloved TV anchor shared an interaction that had fans speculating if there’s something more than just professional camaraderie brewing between them.
Sparks on Set?
Kevin, 69, appeared on the Today show to promote his upcoming film, Horizon, when he and Hoda, 59, exchanged what some viewers called “undeniable chemistry.” Their conversation was lighthearted and engaging, with Kevin flashing his signature smirk while Hoda laughed and brushed her hair behind her ear—a classic nervous gesture, according to body language experts.
As their interview wrapped up, the two shared a warm embrace. While most saw it as a friendly hug, others noticed Kevin keeping his phone in his hand, which some experts suggested was a subtle barrier preventing full physical connection. Nevertheless, fans took to social media to “ship” the duo, with comments like, “These two have something special! Hollywood romance incoming?” and “Kevin & Hoda = Power Couple 2025!”
Hoda’s Blushing Reaction
Later that day, during a segment on Today, Hoda and Jenna Bush Hager revisited the moment, playing back the clip for viewers. Hoda, seemingly caught off guard by the speculation, covered her face with her hands and laughed, visibly flustered.
“Wait… people actually think Kevin and I are a thing?” she exclaimed, as Jenna teased, “Hoda, you’re blushing!”
A body language expert, Blanca Cobb, weighed in on the situation, saying, “Hoda’s immediate reaction—furrowing her brows, pulling back in her chair, and widening her eyes—suggests genuine surprise. But when someone re-watches an interaction to ‘check’ their own behavior, it could mean they’re wondering if there was a moment they didn’t fully acknowledge in real-time.”
Kevin Costner’s Take
Meanwhile, Kevin, who finalized his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in 2023, has remained tight-lipped about any romantic developments. During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, he addressed recent dating rumors linking him to both Hoda and singer Jewel. “No, Jewel and I are just friends,” he clarified. “And Hoda? She’s amazing. But I think the internet is just having fun with this one.”
Though Kevin downplayed the buzz, his comments didn’t entirely shut down speculation. “We’ve never gone out, ever,” he said, leaving some to wonder whether the emphasis on never could change in the future.
Could Romance Be in the Cards?
Both Hoda and Kevin have endured public breakups, and they share a strong on-screen presence. Hoda, who ended her engagement with Joel Schiffman in 2022, has admitted to dating again, though she hasn’t confirmed whether Kevin is part of the equation.
“Sometimes, people just vibe,” a Today producer reportedly said off-camera. “And sometimes, those vibes turn into something more.”
For now, fans will have to keep guessing whether this is a slow-burning romance or just two Hollywood professionals sharing a moment. Either way, the internet is here for it!
