Actor Kevin Costner and singer Jewel have sparked relationship rumors after recent photos captured them in an affectionate embrace.

The snapshots show Costner, 68, with his arms wrapped around Jewel, 49, whose full name is Jewel Kilcher, as she speaks into a microphone.

Sources report that their romance is still in its early stages, and they have kept their relationship relatively private. However, the duo spent a week together last month in the British Virgin Islands as part of a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation.
