Kevin Costner, known for his private life, had an eventful week. On Tuesday, it was confirmed by his rep that his wife of over 18 years, Christine Costner (nee Baumgartner), had filed for divorce. The separation date was listed as April 11th, just one month after the couple attended the 2023 Oscars together, looking happy on the red carpet. The official reason cited was “irreconcilable differences.” Kevin and Christine share three children: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace.

The news was surprising, and sources close to the actor confirmed that he did not want the divorce. “If he could change the situation, he would,” a source revealed. Kevin’s representative explained that “circumstances beyond his control” led to the split and asked for privacy for the family.

Social media was quick to jump to conclusions about infidelity, but Kevin’s rep denied the rumors, calling them “absolutely not true.” However, some speculated that the rumors may have been fueled by Kevin’s previous divorce from his childhood sweetheart, which was also rumored to be due to infidelity.

Despite the divorce, the production of Yellowstone’s back half of Season 5 was not impacted. Kevin’s absence was due to his involvement in filming the second chapter of his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga. It is unclear when production on Yellowstone will resume, but sources suggest that this may be Kevin’s last season.

Christine was seen running errands in Santa Barbara, California, without her wedding ring. It is undoubtedly a challenging time for the Costner family, and they are requesting privacy as they navigate this difficult time.
