    Chris Pine's Multifaceted Moves: From Podcasts to Poolman, a Star Evolves
    Oct 5 2025
    Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Chris Pine has been everywhere these past few days and the headlines keep following. On September 28, he and his girlfriend Keana Sky Wenger, who’s 16 years his junior, made a rare public appearance at the Waiting for Godot premiere in New York City, drawing attention for both their low-key affection and unique sense of style, as reported by Hello Magazine. Their relationship, which began in 2023 after meeting at a Los Angeles restaurant where Keana worked, has remained largely out of the spotlight—except for notable fashion-forward sightings in LA and Milan.

    Off the red carpet, Pine has been making waves in new media. September 29 marked the premiere of his latest venture: narrating the iHeartMedia and OSO Studios podcast Cardiac Cowboys. Launching on World Heart Day, the six-part documentary delves into the pioneers of open-heart surgery, with Pine’s storytelling credited for elevating tales of medical ingenuity and bravery. Pine emphasized the inspirational nature of these “rule-breakers who risked everything to save lives,” according to coverage by iHeart and AOL. The podcast is positioned as a major entry in the nonfiction audio space, signaling Pine’s growing interest in voice and narration, perhaps hinting at the direction of his off-screen career.

    In publishing news, Kirkus Reviews revealed that Pine is also set to co-star in the upcoming audiobook for Gone Before Goodbye, penned by Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben. The project, due to release October 14, features Reese and Pine as husband and wife in a thriller centered around secrets, loss, and reinvention. Pine’s continued expansion into voice acting demonstrates his agility across genres and platforms—something that could define his next era.

    In business, Deadline broke the news that Pine has switched management to Brillstein Entertainment Partners, positioning himself alongside top-tier talent like Emma Stone and Austin Butler for a potential wave of new film projects. Paramount Pictures, following a major studio merger and leadership shakeup, included another Star Trek movie—with Pine back as Captain Kirk—among its immediate development priorities. Likewise, Pine’s directorial debut Poolman recently made a bold impression in Los Angeles, with CNN spotlighting his eccentric red carpet look and Pine himself declaring he’s reached an age where he doesn’t care about outside judgments, drawing fashion inspiration from 1980s icons.

    On social media, Pine’s appearances—especially the Waiting for Godot outing with Keana—have triggered intense fan and gossip site speculation about both his next blockbuster and his future as a style renegade. So far, no controversies or negative buzz in this cycle. Pine’s trajectory this week shows a maturing Hollywood star diversifying across platforms and capitalizing on his unique mix of charisma, privacy, and iconoclastic appeal.

    Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Major headlines swirling around Chris Pine in the past few days point to a career firing on all cylinders and a personal life drawing curious glances. Variety reports that Pine has landed the lead and will produce the Lionsgate action thriller Run the Night—a gritty Amsterdam-set chase story directed by renowned stunt coordinator Robert Alonzo about a banker facing a citywide bounty and fighting for his family. The project, announced this week, is significant; with Pine signing on both as star and producer, it may further cement his move toward meatier, creatively involved action fare after a run of leading man roles in franchise blockbusters.

    Away from high-octane movie talk, the actor’s creative range is expanding in audio storytelling. According to Grand Central Publishing, he was just announced as a principal cast member and voice for Gone Before Goodbye, the anticipated Harlan Coben and Reese Witherspoon audiobook set for October 14. Pine will voice Marc, opposite Witherspoon’s lead, drawing on his considerable expressive talents in what Witherspoon calls a “one-of-a-kind recording.” This collaboration adds another layer to his profile as a sought-after narrator and voice artist.

    On the podcast front, iHeartRadio and Kiss Louisville report that Pine is narrating the just-launched Cardiac Cowboys, a new series blending true medical drama and Western themes—an unexpected and notably diverse choice for the actor that underlines his willingness to lend star power to compelling, original projects beyond movies and TV.

    Social media buzz is strong, particularly around his public appearance in New York City last weekend. Multiple outlets, including Hello Magazine and digital creator Mickey Blank, caught Pine on September 28 attending the Broadway premiere of Waiting for Godot with his girlfriend Keana Sky Wenger. The couple, whose relationship was first noticed in 2023 and whom Pine has kept mostly away from public scrutiny, made headlines for their rare, stylish joint outing—with Pine in a black suit and pink shirt, Keana in a matching grey ensemble—fueling further interest in his famously private love life. Recent photos of them holding hands in Los Angeles, reported by Just Jared and AOL, also made waves, strengthening speculation that Pine is content and settled in his personal affairs.

    There are no confirmed business launches or controversies reported in mainstream outlets over the last few days. All current mentions focus on Pine’s expanding creative footprint and the occasional rare glimpse into his understated romance, making the Run the Night headline and audio ventures the most potentially biographically significant for the future direction of his career. All other rumors or speculation remain unconfirmed, with Pine maintaining his trademark discretion.
