Kevin Costner was shocked after being hit with divorce papers by his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner. The two, who married in September 2004, share three children: Cayden, Hayes, and daughter Grace.
Kevin Costner Surprised By Wife Christine Baumgartner’s Divorce
Sources have revealed the “Bodyguard” actor is in shock after his estranged wife filed for divorce this week. The star’s first marriage ended in a messy and public $80 million divorce over allegations of infidelity, but close friends have noted that this was not the case in her second marriage.

The pair were just spotted together at the Oscars in March, posing for the cameras, and according to Costner’s friend, “Kevin was very shocked by Christine’s actions, she obviously doesn’t want the divorce, and she’s going to take it back. It was disappointing; he loves her and her children.”
Insiders also stated to Page Six that the film director’s busy schedule may have contributed to the breakdown of his 18-year marriage to Baumgartner. The 68-year-old has been filming for the hit series “Yellowstone” in Montana, spending months away from home, which may have strained their relationship.
A rep for the father-of-seven denied any cheating claims and told the publication that any of that was “absolutely not true.” A close friend of the “Thirteen Days” star and a production source on her show both expressed shock at the 49-year-old’s decision to file for divorce, with the friend stating, “I don’t know if Kevin knows why. ” The source also added:
“No one knows about any issues. He is not ‘isolated’ on set and often comes home to visit his family.”
As for the reason for the split, The Blast reports that the handbag designer cited “irreconcilable differences.” He asked in court documents obtained for joint custody of their three children and did not ask for spousal support because they already had a prenuptial agreement.
Costner’s representative spoke to the outlet and expressed his sadness over the situation, stating, “It is with great regret that circumstances beyond his control have occurred, causing Mr. Costner to participate in the dissolution of marriage.”
The statement also urged people to respect the privacy of their spouses and children as they go through this difficult time. On Tuesday, the “No Way Out” actress filed her response to Baumgartner’s divorce petition, asking for joint custody of their children. The document states, “Spousal support is payable to the petitioner under the terms of the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement.”

The reality TV star found a reason to smile when dealing with her parents’ incarceration. And even though she’s vocal about her struggles, like being her siblings’ keeper, she’s happy about her newfound freedom.
The Blast notes that the “Chrisley Knows Best” star shared a screenshot of the latest news report Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce on her Instagram story.
The post showed a photo of the former couple smiling for the camera, and in response, the entrepreneur posted a gif of a child excitedly pumping his fist with an “OMG!” stickers. The 25-year-old added text that read, “If you know … you know.”
Her excitement comes as she previously expressed her admiration for the “Dances with Wolves” star during a 2022 episode of her podcast, “Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley.”
In the episode, her mother, Julie, became uncomfortable watching how her daughter attacked the older actress, calling her “creepy and weird.” The podcaster made it even more awkward when he said, “Age is just a number,” praising her for her youthful appearance. This caused Chrisley’s parents to reply, “Only sixty-seven – I can’t believe you just said he’s only sixty-seven.”
The social media influencer then laughed and explained that his intentions were innocent. “I do not mean that. Like, I mean, obviously too old for me, but he’s going to be like my old man…like my old man passed 100%,” he explained.
He went on to say with a shrug, “Because I mean, if you don’t see it -” shows that age is just a number as long as the person looks like a two-time Oscar winner.
