Kim Basinger has a new man in her life. Basinger and her longtime hairstylist are reportedly dating. The two were spotted giving each other some major PDA while vacationing in Hawaii.
The mother of model Ireland Baldwin was once embroiled in a bitter divorce with actor Alec Baldwin, but Basinger has finally moved on and found love. According to Closer Weekly , her hairstylist Mitch Stone is the reason why Basinger is smiling.
Although the two have been close for years, the pair decided to make a real go of it.
A source told Closer Weekly of Kim Basinger’s new relationship with her hairstylist.
“After doing her hair for so many years, one day they thought, Hey, why don’t we go out on a date? And they have been very, very happy together.”

In addition to Basinger, Stone’s client list boasts popular names like Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow and even Kim’s ex husband Alec Baldwin.
Although Basinger is pretty private and rarely gives interviews, the actress did talk about having anxiety back in 2013 to People magazine .
“I’ve been so blessed because I’ve had such longevity. I’m not a big red carpet girl. But I love the work. In this business, you can be at the top of the world and at the bottom of the barrel, and you’re grape juice. I’ve been at both ends. It can make you become what you really are.”
As for dealing with anxiety the actress said she didn’t want to rely on drugs for treatment. “Now I wake up and enjoy life. I didn’t want to live on drugs. I wanted to face everything I was afraid of.”
Although Basinger hasn’t spoken about her love, Stone did take to instagram to show off the Oscar winning beauty. He posted an old photo of the two of them and captioned, “My Girlfriend Forever ? #idreamedofafrica #1998 #africa #onset @kimbasinger @irelandbbaldwin #letsgoback! #movie”
As the caption states, the photo is of the two on the 1998 film I Dreamed Of Africa .
Basinger split from Baldwin back in 2002 and the couple battled for custody over their daughter Ireland, who is now 19. Although their divorce was ugly the two are now on friendly terms.
