Did Costner and Houston date? How did Kevin Costner feel about Whitney Houston?

Kevin Costner had a love affair with popular singer Whitney Houston. At the time of Whitney Houston’s passing in February 2012, Kevin released a statement saying Houston was her one true love.

Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner earlier played love interests in ‘The Bodyguard.’ Costner felt sad following the loss of Whitney.

During his tribute to her, Costner spoke directly to his old friend Clive Davis in the audience, saying: “We were both struck by Whitney the first time we first met her.”

“Whitney would be our common ground. Whitney had become the most celebrated singer of her generation, but she was an untrained actress and it was unclear if this was something she should aspire to or even something that was good for her career. All three of us would take a huge leap.”

“From that moment we all worked as one collective… so powerful that for one moment in time the entire world seemed focused on this one country song. “I needed to make the movie I was imagining. Whitney saw it as a chance to reinvent herself. But for Clive it was a career move that had ‘recipe for disaster’ written all over it.”

“Maybe this isn’t the room for it, but I don’t want to miss the moment. And it’s, uh, from the heart. “Neither one of us, in the end, could protect your beloved Whitney. But your fingerprints on her life are clean, my friend. You were a miracle in her life. Thank you for being her bodyguard, Clive…. Everyone in this business has a mom, but not everyone has a Clive.”
