Hoda Kotb Says She’s ‘Not Dating Anyone’ Amid Kevin Costner Rumors After Super Bowl Encounter

Hoda Kotb Isn’t Dating Anyone Amid Kevin Costner Speculation

Despite speculation surrounding Hoda Kotb and Kevin Costner following their interaction at the 2025 Super Bowl, sources say Hoda is not currently dating anyone. After sharing a photo on Instagram with the Oscar-winning actor, Hoda reportedly enjoyed the rumors about their relationship, describing them as a delightful surprise. An insider close to the situation revealed that Hoda, who has always had a soft spot for Costner, was amused by the attention and the playful banter among her former colleagues at Today.

During an interview in June 2024 on Today, Kotb and Costner had undeniable chemistry that caught the eye of viewers. However, the dating rumors escalated when Hoda appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in July 2024, where a fan asked about the potential romance. Initially perplexed, Hoda was taken aback by the fan’s inquiry, admitting to not being aware of the viewers’ interest in a possible connection until that moment. When pressed further, she jokingly suggested she might consider giving the fans what they want.

Costner later addressed the swirling gossip in an October 2024 interview, emphasizing that while he appreciates the sentiments, there has been no romantic development. He mentioned their pleasant interactions but noted, “We’ve never had coffee together.”

Hoda, who departed from Today on January 10, has been focusing on her upcoming projects and exploring opportunities in the wellness space while spending quality time with her daughters, Haley and Hope. A recent appearance at the Super Bowl with friends included a spirited photo with Costner, further fueling the chatter. Savannah Guthrie teased Hoda in the comments, playfully suggesting a new couple alert, but sources clarified that Hoda isn’t in the dating scene right now, although she remains open to love.

Following her breakup with Joel Schiffman, whom she dated from 2013 to 2022, and Costner’s divorced status after parting ways with Christine Baumgartner in February 2024, both have shown positivity and a knack for fun in their respective lives post-relationships. For now, while the chemistry is evident, both Hoda and Kevin are content enjoying their single lives.
