Eligible bachelor Kevin Costner raised eyebrows after he was seen out with a mystery woman on Monday.
But now interested parties can breathe a sigh of relief.
As it turns out, the woman is Costner’s long-time assistant.
The woman has been employed as Costner’s assistant for two years and was merely having a work lunch with him, according to Page Six.
She was also seen with the actor, 70, earlier this month during a trip to upscale supermarket Erewhon in Calabasas.
Costner, who is back on the market following his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, 51, was recently romantically linked to Yellowstone superfan Jennifer Lopez, 55.

Costner got people talking when he was spotted in December having a drink with Lopez at the iconic western apparel store Kemo Sabe in Aspen, Colorado, in December.
Despite the seemingly chaste meeting, fans of the two stars wondered if there could be something between them because Jennifer was previously revealed to be a massive fan of his since-concluded series Yellowstone.
Lopez’s ex-husband Ben Affleck even revealed in a March 2023 appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast with his BFF Matt Damon that he was ‘disturbed’ by the degree to which his then-wife was attached to the fan-favorite drama.
However, a source told DailyMail.com last month that Lopez was less interested in a Kevin Costner–type star and more desirous of someone in the mold of Yellowstone character Rip Wheeler (played by Cole Hauser).
Ironically, Hauser was a longtime friend of Affleck’s who appeared with him in Dazed And Confused and his early career triumph Good Will Hunting.
Costner left Yellowstone before the release of the second half of its fifth and final season, reportedly due to issues with Sheridan and pay disagreements.
His character, patriarch John Dutton, was killed off in the premiere of season 5B, and the show wrapped up its run with a series finale last year that was excoriated by critics.

Kevin has dealt with heartbreak in recent years after his wife Christin Baumgartner filed for divorce in May of 2023.
Their tumultuous split, which saw them bickering over assets and a prenuptial agreement, was finalized in February of 2024.
Despite his appearance Monday with the mystery woman, a source told People in January that Costner was ‘not seriously involved with anyone and not necessarily looking for anything more than that right now.’
Instead, he was focused on having fun with friends and family.
Costner is the father of seven children, including Annie, 41; Lily, 38; Joe, 37; Liam, 28; Cayden, 17; Hayes, 16; and Grace, 14.
He shares his three youngest children with his most recent ex-wife.
Last year, Kevin debunked rumors of a fling with the singer Jewel during an interview with Howard Stern after the two were spotted looking cozy in late 2023.
