Kevin Costner honored his 69th birthday Thursday with a throwback photo snapped decades ago.
The snap showed the former “Yellowstone” star wearing a cowboy hat with a grin spread across his face.
“Celebrating another year of life today and taking a moment to honor this kid who had big dreams. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come,” he captioned the Instagram post.
“Thank you all for the birthday wishes. It’s because of your support that I’ve been able to chase my dreams all these years.”
Costner’s homage to himself comes after his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner made headlines for moving on with his former neighbor and friend Josh Connor.
Over the summer, the handbag designer, 49, and the financier vacationed in Hawaii, prompting rumors they had become romantically involved.
However, Baumgartner and her attorney denied in court that she was dating Connor after the “Field of Dreams” star claimed her new “boyfriend” had given her $20,000 cash.
“They have been good friends for years,” an insider also shared of Baumgartner and Connor’s connection.
Costner and Baumgartner, who share three kids, finally settled their divorce in September.
News that the former model’s friendship with Connor had turned romantic broke last week, with sources maintaining to People that the pair initially had a platonic relationship.
“Josh was initially just a friend,” a friend of Baumgartner told the magazine.
“[Christine] likes hanging out with him. He is a divorced dad and understands what she’s been going through.”
Baumgartner and Connor have bonded over “the ocean and beach life,” according to the report.

“It’s something that makes Christine happy,” the pal added.
The “Mr. Brooks” actor, meanwhile, reportedly has been dating singer Jewel.
“They were flirty. And when they were together, it was like they both just lit up,” a source told TMZ of the pair, who visited the British Virgin Islands in December as part of a tennis fundraiser for the Grammy winner’s Inspiring Children Foundation.
“You could tell they were trying to be discreet, but anybody who saw them could tell something was going on,” a second insider added.
