Kevin Costner hit headlines on Wednesday when it was revealed his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, has filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences".
"It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action," a statement from Costner's rep read. The Yellowstone star shares three children with Christine: Cayden, 15, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 12, and the former couple have asked for joint custody. Kevin also has four other children from two previous relationships.

Liam Costner
Kevin had a brief relationship with Bridget Rooney after his split from his first wife, Cindy Silva. Not much is known about Liam as he has remained out of the spotlight.
While it's unclear how Kevin and Christine will divide their assets, before news of their split, the former couple and their children lived on a massive 160-acre estate in Colorado. In June 2020, Kevin gave a rare insight into his home life as he reflected on how the lockdown had impacted his family.

Of his marriage to Christine, Kevin said at the time that it had only strengthened during the pandemic, gushing: "Our partnership has really come into focus about what we do for each other and how we deal with our family."
He added: "Our house is like a river: You've just got to get into the flow of it. And whatever you thought it was going to be, maybe it still can, but it's going to have to work with what the day brings."
