Were Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston together? Costner’s touching tribute explained
Were Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston a couple? Here’s a complete breakdown of the pair’s relationship and timeline.
Warner Bros. Pictures
Whenever Kevin Costner‘s career is examined, one mystery that frequently pops up is that of his relationship with his The Bodyguard co-star, Whitney Houston.
The Bodyguard isn’t necessarily considered one of Costner’s successes. For one, it’s not a Western, and it also received a hugely negative critical response. And although the romance movie earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song, it was also nominated for seven Razzie awards.
But whether you love or hate The Bodyguard, it can’t be denied that Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston are one of the most memorable romantic pairings in cinematic history.
Over the years, many have speculated that this fictional love affair rolled over into real life. So, is that the case? Here’s what we know.
Were Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston a couple?Officially, Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston were never an item, but there has been speculation that Costner harbored feelings for Houston, and he even described her as his “one true love.”
It was clear the two shared a special bond after working on the 1992 action-thriller The Bodyguard. However, the two never appeared to have a romantic relationship, and even if they had, they never went public with it.
Warner Bros.Still, fans love think the two co-stars had a deeper connection that what was on the screen, and that theory has only been further fueled from comments made by Costner, who has spoken about Houston many times over the years.
But most notably, after her death in 2012, Costner released a statement, describing her as his “one true love.”
“I let her down,” he said. “I should have been there, and I wasn’t. And now for the rest of my life I will have to live with that pain. I saved her then, I should have saved her now.
“She was my one true love. I still have ‘I Will Always Love You’ as my ringtone, and I count it a badge of honour every time I get mocked for it.”
Costner then famously performed a 17-minute eulogy at Houston’s funeral.
ABC NewsWhen speaking about the process of selecting her for the role of Rachel in The Bodyguard, he said: “She didn’t think she looked right. There were a thousand things to her that seemed wrong.
“I held her hand and told her that she looked beautiful. I told her that I would be with her every step of the way, that everyone there wanted her to succeed, but I could still feel the doubt.”
He ended his speech with: “I think Whitney would tell you, ‘Guard your bodies, and guard the precious miracle of your own life, and then sing your hearts out’ – knowing that there’s a lady in heaven who is making God himself wonder how he created something so perfect.”
How did they know each other?Costner and Houston played love interests in the 1992 romance movie The Bodyguard.
In The Bodyguard, Costner plays professional bodyguard Frank Farmer, whose new job involves protecting the life of a diva superstar Rachel Marron after she starts getting death threats from a mysterious fan.
Rachel detests the idea of having someone look after her, and alongside Frank’s strict and over-the-top rules, the two instantly clash. However, they soon find a way to work together, and after some bonding, they begin to fall in love.
After a climatic final act, Frank saves the day, almost losing his life in the process. But at the end of the movie, both Frank and Rachel acknowledge that their relationship would never work out, and they part ways with an emotional goodbye. (Cue ‘I Will Always Love You’ and prepare for the waterworks.)
As is the case with most romance flicks, the pair’s chemistry led to rumors of an affair between the two.
Costner’s birthday tribute explainedOn January 19, 2025, Costner shared a picture of him and Houston to Instagram to celebrate his 70th birthday, alongside a heartfelt caption about his old co-star.
“This photo reminds me of how lucky I am to be getting another birthday. We lost such a light when we lost Whitney,” he wrote, reposting the photo from the late singer’s account.

The director of The Art of Negotiation has shared his thoughts on the drama and the cast’s performances!
“The Art of Negotiation” follows the story of Yoon Joo No (Lee Je Hoon), an M&A expert who is known as a legendary negotiator, as he leads his team through high-stakes corporate challenges. The drama is helmed by director Ahn Pan Seok, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and realism.
The cast also includes Kim Dae Myung as Oh Soon Young, Sung Dong Il as Song Jae Sik, Jang Hyun Sung as Ha Tae Soo, Oh Man Seok as Lee Dong Joon, Ahn Hyun Ho as Kwak Min Jung, and Cha Kang Yoon as Choi Jin Soo.
When asked why he chose to direct The Art of Negotiation, Ahn Pan Seok shared, “Usually, when I start a project, I sit down with the writer and develop ideas together from scratch. But 'The Art of Negotiation' is the first time I’ve chosen a drama based on a completed script. As soon as I read it, I knew it had a solid story and compelling conflicts worth exploring, so I took it right away. It’s a first in my career.”
Describing the drama’s unique appeal, he said, “Unlike the dramas I’ve worked on in recent years, this one has a bit of a hard-boiled tone. Instead of focusing on soft romance, it's more like a war over money. Working on something like this again after a long time feels incredibly refreshing.”
Ahn Pan Seok also emphasized his commitment to realism, stating, “All dramas have to feel real. The viewers should never feel like what they’re watching is fake.” Given his track record of delivering realistic storytelling, expectations are high for how he will bring the world of M&A negotiations to life in The Art of Negotiation.
The director also expressed deep trust and satisfaction with the cast, saying, “The actors fit their characters perfectly. Kim Dae Myung has a soft, gentle demeanor, but there's also strength underneath. Sung Dong Il, Jang Hyun Sung, and Oh Man Seok are, of course, fantastic as always. I also recommend keeping an eye on Ahn Hyun Ho and Cha Kang Yoon—both deliver refreshingly natural and non-cliché performances.”
Finally, Ahn Pan Seok praised Lee Je Hoon’s dramatic transformation for his role, saying, “From the moment he arrives on set until filming wraps, he completely embodies Yoon Joo No. Without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights of our drama is Lee Je Hoon himself. His performance and screen presence are something to look forward to.
“The Art of Negotiation” is scheduled to premiere on March 8 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
