Kevin Costner is not ready to lose his partner of almost two decades, Christine Baumgartner. The famous actor is reportedly trying his best to win back the former model after she filed for divorce.
Although Baumgartner cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, reports claim he is “unhappy” with Costner. The actor’s busy schedule leaves little time to spend together as a family.
Costner was reportedly shocked by Baumgartner’s plan to end the marriage after 18 years. He has responded to the divorce filing and is seeking joint custody of their three children. However, he is not sure what his next steps will be to win back his wife.

Costner is not ready to let go of his wife yet. In the midst of a divorce, insiders share with Us Weekly that the “Robin Hood” actress is still in love with Baumgartner. He also “tried” to change his mind about their breakup. The source said he was “blindsided by” the situation and realized he couldn’t do it without Baumgartner.
“Everyone thought Kevin and his wife were very happy, so the whole thing came as a surprise,” the source said. “He really loves her and is trying to get her back. He has been blinded by this.”
However, Costner filed a response to the 49-year-old’s divorce petition on Tuesday, May 9. He wants joint custody of their 15, 14, and 12-year-old children. This marks the “Let Him Go” actor’s second divorce as he ended his relationship with his first wife in 1994 after 16 years of marriage.

The source also stated that Costner knew how Baumgartner felt about their relationship. However, he doesn’t know that he wants to end things. In response to whether she expected the divorce, the insider explained it was an “unpleasant surprise.” A representative for Costner shared a statement about the divorce on his behalf.
He revealed that the 68-year-old was saddened by the situation and realized how difficult it was for him. The statement was read, per Us Weekly, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have occurred that have forced Mr. Costner to participate in the dissolution of marriage.” The representative asked the public to “respect” her and Baumgartner’s privacy as they go through the process.
Christine Baumgartner ‘Not Happy’ With Kevin Costner’s Absence At Home

A source disclosed to People magazine that the “Bodyguard” actor made Baumgartner “unhappy” with his busy schedule and lifestyle earlier this week. Costner spends most of his time away from his family, which bothers him. However, things improved as Costner continued to work on the hit show “Yellowstone” and landed more roles in upcoming films such as “Horizon.”
The source stated, “Kevin was not there during the shoot. His absence is difficult for him.” Baumgartner worried that he had become too “obsessed with filming” and did not want him to start another project.
Costner being in demand seems to be pushing him to prioritize his career over his family life. The outlet went on to share, “All the success and excitement over this new project may have pulled him away from his family more than he realizes. Since it doesn’t look like that’s going to change and is likely to get worse, it’s causing tension at home.”
He Previously Gave Kevin Costner an Ultimatum

Although the divorce came as a surprise to many, Baumgartner had previously hinted at his desire to separate from Costner. Online Radar reported in 2022 that the former model warned Costner about his obsession with the hit show “Yellowstone.”
She allegedly asked him to cut ties with the show to spend more time with his family, since he had not been with them for a long time. A source told the news outlet that producers want the show to “go on forever,” given its success.
Baumgartner, on the other hand, was not satisfied with this. In the midst of the divorce plans, the show network Paramount recently announced their intention to conclude “Yellowstone” with the current season. However, it is uncertain whether this will be enough to change Baumgartner’s mind about the breakup.
