It was a devastating blow when Kevin Costner, 68-year-old actor, and his wife Christine Baumgartner announced their divorce after 19 years of marriage. The news surprised not only their fans but also Kevin himself, as he had always spoken fondly of Christine. However, those close to the couple revealed that Christine had warned Kevin that she would leave if he continued to prioritize work over family.
According to sources, Kevin’s frequent absences due to filming took a toll on Christine, who longed for more quality time together in their Santa Barbara home. “His absence has been very hard for her,” a source disclosed. “Christine doesn’t want him to throw himself into another project. She wasn’t happy about it,” another insider added.
While Kevin may have been aware that Christine was unhappily married, her decision to file for divorce still came as a shock. “At times, his career has taken precedence over his home life,” another source noted. It seemed that Kevin’s passion for his work had unintentionally caused tension within their marriage.
Christine filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and sought $161,000 a month in child support for their three children: Cayden Wyatt, Hayes Logan, and Grace Avery. To secure this financial support, she went to court. However, Kevin emerged victorious as the judge in Santa Barbara reduced the child support payments to $63,000 per month, significantly less than what Christine requested.
Reflecting on the divorce, Kevin admitted, “When you have a life that long with somebody, there is no winner… It’s this big, crazy thing called life and how it unravels so quickly.” The end of their marriage left him feeling vulnerable and reminded him of the unpredictable nature of life.
Despite the challenging period he went through, it appears that Kevin has found love again. Rumors have been swirling that the 68-year-old Yellowstone star is dating singer Jewel. The couple was recently spotted together at a tennis event on Richard Branson’s Necker Island for the Inspiring Children Foundation. According to insiders, the two spent nearly a week together in the Caribbean after taking a plane there.
Jewel herself mentioned Kevin on social media, referring to him as “gracious enough to mentor our youngsters” during the tennis fundraiser on Necker Island. Sources close to Jewel revealed that she is “picky” when it comes to relationships and believes that Kevin is a good match for her.
Love has found its way back into Kevin Costner’s life, bringing light after the darkness. As he embraces this new chapter, we wish him all the happiness and fulfillment he deserves.
