Kevin Costner's speech at Whitney Houston's funeral

The way Kevin stood for her against the movie moguls. The way he treated her before, during, and after the film was done, speaks for itself, loud and clear. Whitney was his one true love!

An utterly sincere speech. He really did this with honour.

This was the most respectful,loving,truthful eulogy. Classic. RIP Whitney Houston

I am watching this 11 years later, and my heart breaks for Kevin. He’s just been going through an acrimonious divorce and child custody case and it breaks my heart to see such a good man, a really good man, tossed aside, because he’s no longer “good” enough. This tribute to Whitney tells us a great deal about him and the kind of man he is. I’m sending a prayer for him to lift him up so he could feel the love and succor him. 🙏

Whenever a man tries to hold back his tears you know its deep, when he said "when you stand before god and sing for him don't worry trust me you'll be good enough" the tears came hard and fast.

There is no black and white when it comes to pure unadulterated love. Kevin Costner is a great man. This brought me to tears

The fact he referred to Whitney as his “one true love” broke my heart and I pray she knew how much he really truly loved her and how much he adored her 🙏🏽😔 rest in God’s eternal love Whitney ❤️🙏🏽

I’ve watched the movie “The Bodyguard” many times, and just as I felt the strong and powerful on-screen chemistry that Whitney and Kevin both shared, I feel it again as I watch this eulogy. I can tell that their relationship was very close, very real, and very passionate. So close, in fact, that it saddens me that they didn’t choose to pursue it further after the film completed. They would have been a true power couple, in every sense of the word, and I truly believe that Whitney would have gone on to be even more successful. More importantly, her self-confidence and self-esteem would have skyrocketed, with a man like Kevin by her side, believing in her and encouraging her the way he did. RIP dear Whitney 🙏🏼

"Escorted by an army of angels to your Heavenly father, when you sing before him, don't you worry coz you will be good enough " That melted my heart.

"And when you sing before Him, don't you worry, you'll be good enough." - Kevin Costner. DAMN! That was powerful

The chemistry between those two on the Bodyguard was so obvious. I think they were in love but didn’t dare cross the line of friendship because both had separate lives. What a great loss. Rest In Peace Whitney.❤❤

With every sentence, as he spoke along, it felt like he was ready to burst into tears. A strong feeling of deepest respect for Whitney in his voice. That was a perfect tandem.

He may be one of the most underrated actors of his time but his humanity shines like a beacon. What a beautiful speech.

700 people who disliked will never understand the beauty of friendship, love and companionship

That man had a pure soul connected love for Whitney

I remember watching this with my husband at the time and he wasn’t really a fan of Whitney or Kevin, he’d never seen The Bodyguard. He turned to me about halfway through this speech and said “Kevin was in love with Whitney, he loved her.”

2023, and STILL this gets me in the feels. Kevin is an amazing actor, person and great friend of the Houston family. Amazing speech.

This is what happens when a true storyteller expresses his love. What a beautiful tribute.

If I had Kevin Costner in my life, encouraging me, giving me confidence and never giving up on me, I would be in a much different place in my life right now, Whitney Houston was very fortunate to have had this man in her life even if it was only for a little while. Love you Kevin, RIP Whitney, God love and protect you lovely lady ❤

A love that is real, a love that is faithful, true and enduring, is a love from the heart. Listening to Kevin's tribute to Whitney, is both heart-warming and heart breaking. What a sincere, moment expressed by a man to a woman. It is obvious that Kevin loved her then, now and he always will. True love is beautiful and true love is everlasting
