Rifken Jr. Roughs Him Up
Another bizarre urban legend also claims that Costner almost broke Cal Ripken Jr.’s record of consecutive games streak when he got romantically involved with the baseball player’s wife while he was a guest in their home! The story goes that Costner, who played baseball players in numerous projects, became good friends with the Hall-of-Famer. However, he was allegedly caught in the act and then subsequently beaten up by Ripken Jr.! The Iron Man was said to be so upset about the whole thing that his team, the Baltimore Orioles, canceled their upcoming game over an “electrical failure”.

He Couldn’t Escape The Spotlight
Can you believe that there was another romance left for the actor in 1995? He was seen going around town with Joan Lunden, the American author, television host, and journalist. Older readers might recognize her as the co-host of the ABC program Good Morning America from 1980 to 1997. However, the relationship ended when the media attention became too much for them to handle. Back then, Costner was promoting the adventure flick Waterworld so you can understand why the members of the press wanted to hear about the details of his personal life.
