Kevin Costner’s Statement After His Wife Filed for Divorce Suggests a Messy Breakup Ahead
If there’s one thing we can count on in Hollywood it’s that couples will come and go. Even so, we can’t help but be surprised when some of our favorite couples break up seemingly out of the blue.
On May 3, for example, Kevin Costner‘s wife Christine Baumgartner surprisingly filed for divorce from the Yellowstone actor after almost 18 years of marriage, TMZ first reported. Baumgartner cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split without providing any further details.

Costner and Baumgartner tied the knot back in September 2004 and have three children together, Cayden, 15, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 12. Costner also has four older children from previous relationships. According to TMZ, the former couple have both requested joint custody of the kids.
Between the impending divorce, figuring out child custody, and the speculation that Costner might be leaving Yellowstone, it seems like there is a lot going on for Costner. And although we’re wishing them the best moving forward, we can’t help but think there’s a messy path ahead.
