Kevin Costner shocked by wife’s divorce filing – “Stunned”

Kevin Costner “Stunned” by Wife’s Divorce Filing

Kevin Costner, the star of “Yellowstone,” was left blindsided after his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce on Monday. Sources close to Costner have revealed that he was “stunned” by the news and that he would take her back if he could. The couple shares three children, and there were no rumors of infidelity.

Production Source Speaks Out

A production source on “Yellowstone” expressed shock over the divorce filing as well. “No-one knew about any issues,” this insider said. “He was not ‘sequestered’ on the set and would often go home to visit his family.” Given the fact that Costner had to spend many months shooting “Yellowstone” on location, it would make sense if it put a stress on his marriage.

Costner Busy “Shooting Right Now”

Costner is currently in St. George, Utah filming his upcoming Western movie series “Horizon, an American Saga,” which he wrote and is directing. A friend of his said that given everything that has happened, “it’s been a tough year” for the “Dances With Wolves” star.

Background

Costner and Baumgartner began dating in 2000, and they married in 2004 on a ranch in Aspen, Colorado. He was previously married to Cindy Silva from 1978 to 1994 and they share three children. Costner’s marriage to Silva ended amidst accusations that he’d cheated on her with a hula dancer while filming his movie “Waterworld.” Costner is also father to son Liam Costner with Bridget Rooney, who he dated after divorcing Silva.

Prayers for Kevin Costner

Costner is clearly going through a very difficult time right now, and he could use all the support he can get. Let’s keep him in our thoughts and prayers.
