Actor Kevin Costner’s wife of more than 18 years, Christine Costner, has filed for divorce, according to court documents filed on Monday. The couple tied the knot in September 2004 at Kevin’s ranch in Aspen, Colorado, and they have three children together: Cayden, 15, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 12. Kevin has been married once before and has four children from that marriage, as well as a son from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Rooney. In a statement, a representative for Kevin confirmed the split and asked for privacy for the family during this difficult time.
According to TMZ, Christine cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce and is not seeking spousal support. The news of the divorce comes as a surprise to fans, as the couple has kept their personal lives private and largely out of the public eye. Kevin is best known for his roles in films such as “Dances with Wolves,” “The Bodyguard,” and “Field of Dreams,” as well as his current role on the television series “Yellowstone.”
The news of the divorce has saddened fans of the actor, who have long admired the seemingly happy and devoted couple. However, divorce is not uncommon in Hollywood, and Kevin joins a long list of celebrities who have gone through the process in the public eye. Despite the difficulties that come with ending a marriage, Kevin and Christine will undoubtedly put the needs of their children first and work to create a new normal for their family moving forward.
