Talking with PeopleJewel, 49, denied that a romantic relationship was behind her current state of happiness.

In the lengthy profile, Jewel spoke about overcoming a difficult upbringing and later life struggles, but now the Hands singer is enjoying a sense of peace.
Singer Jewel has opened up about achieving contentment, as she once again addresses her romantic relationship with Kevin Costner.

She recounted her brief romance with actor Sean Penn and her attempt to keep it private.
‘Even when I dated Sean from the beginning, no one knew I was dating him. I wouldn’t do a red carpet with him. She was very proud,” she recalled.
‘I wasn’t famous and my album was failing, like it was failing spectacularly. I remember going to the Venice Film Festival with him and he could have been on the red carpet and gotten a lot of media attention.’
‘People would have said, “Who is this girl?” and I could have plugged in my album. But I’d rather be unknown the rest of my life than have that be how I was introduced to the world,” she said. ‘I don’t need fame that much. I need to feel fulfilled. I need to be happy. I need to be a composer. I wasn’t thirsty in that sense.
Jewel married professional rodeo cowboy Ty Murray in 2008. They have a son, 12-year-old Kase Townes Murray, together and divorced in 2014.
Of their separation, she said: ‘The divorce was not easy. Deciding not to work for seven years was not easy. Choosing to build something other than music wasn’t easy. Insisting that she had to change and grow in order to be the most available mom, those were things she experienced privately, and this was a way of honoring myself as well.
‘I’m much more present now. I am a current mom, which I worked hard at. At first it was not easy to be present. Divorces… you have a lot of pain and it’s difficult. Not wanting to give up that dream kept me in the marriage much longer than it probably should have.’
Now he has curated a 90-minute immersive art exhibition that will open publicly on Saturday until July 28.
In the lengthy profile, Jewel spoke about overcoming a difficult upbringing and later struggles in life, which led her to find a sense of peace; The Hands singer in the photo from 2000.
The exhibit captures the growth and satisfaction he has now achieved.
She sought to capture the “three realms” of existence in her exhibit, realms that she believes represent the mind, physical reality, and the unknown.
Their hope is that viewers will reflect on “what works and what doesn’t” for them after visiting the show.
“It’s about being curious about ourselves and discovering,” he said. “It’s about being aware of our three areas and committing that we can change them and contribute to them.”
It comes after Jewel gushed about Costner, calling him a “great person” but admitted she found the public’s “fascination” with their relationship “intense.”
‘I am more inspired now than ever in my life. Mostly since I was like 19 or 20,’ she insisted.
