Jewel shuts down questions about Kevin Costner romance: 'I'm so happy, irrelevant of a man'
Jewel is doubling down on not needing a man to define her.
The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, 49, opened up about her romantic life and her experiences with "men in positions of power" over the decades as a musician in an interview with People magazine ahead of the opening of her immersive art exhibit, "The Portal: An Art Experience by Jewel," in Arkansas.
Reflecting on her relationship with Sean Penn in the mid-'90s, the songstress revealed that she'd refrained at the time from using their romance to promote her music following the release of her debut album, "Pieces of You."
"Even when I was dating Sean really early on, nobody knew I was dating him. I wouldn't do a red carpet with him. I was just very prideful," she told People. "I wasn't famous and my album was flopping — like, failing spectacularly. I remember going to the Venice Film Festival with him, and I could have done the red carpet and received a lot of media attention."

Jewel reveals 'divorce wasn't easy' and responds to Kevin Costner romance speculation
In 2008, Jewely married rodeo star Ty Murray, and the two share a son, Kase. The couple divorced in 2014, leading the Alaskan singer to prioritize parenting over her career.
"The divorce wasn't easy. Choosing not to work for seven years wasn't easy. Choosing to build something else other than music wasn't easy," she told People. "Divorces… you have so much grief, and it's hard. Not wanting to let go of that dream kept me in a marriage much longer than I probably should have."

She means regardless, not irrelevant, but what else can you expect from this silly person?

Unfortunate name for the kid.
Maybe he's a fan, but she's much too old for Costner to date.

Jewel- just No to the red hair. Reminds me to much of Tori Amos.

Jewel is aging exceptionally well for a blonde, but she really does wear the dumbest shit. She and Shania Twain must share a stylist.

She looks good for 49.
Her first album came out when she was 20.

R10 - She has always said she was born in 1974. She turns 50 in three weeks.

She started out looking like Kate Moss's sister or cousin.
Now, yes, she does look like Tori Amos.

R12 Wow, her voice is even better now. I didn't know that was possible with singers. She sounds lovely in that performance.

Her first album was great; a classic. Her second one was okay. Then I lost track of her.
Morning Song is my favorite. Just a sweet little song. I would listen to it in 9th grade and wish I was cuddling in bed with a boyfriend.

When she sucked on Costner's dry glans, she followed her intuition.

I like her all right. I think her first four albums are pretty solid after that it gets a little spotty for me but they're still gems. I've never bothered to listen to either of the Fisher-Price album I think she made two of them other than what I would hear in Target occasionally.

She's coming to town with Melissa etheridge in a couple months and I'm thinking I'll probably go. I like when artists that have a large lesbian fan base come those are always fun people watching.

I think she favors Andrea Evan’s in OP’s pic.

"Irrelevant" is spot-on for Jewel. Irrelevant for all men, and for all women.
