Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner shared one of Hollywood’s most genuine and enduring friendships one that went far beyond their on-screen chemistry in The Bodyguard.
When the film was released in 1992, their connection felt natural and deeply respectful. Kevin was a steady, protective presence for Whitney during a time when fame weighed heavily on her, and he always spoke of her first as a person, not just a Superstar.
That bond lasted long after the cameras stopped rolling. When Whitney passed away in 2012, it was Kevin Costner who delivered one of the most heartfelt eulogies at her funeral, reminding the world of her grace, talent, and humanity.
