18 years of marriage and three children – but Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner now want to divorce.
They were married for 18 years. Now actor Kevin Costner (68) and his wife Christine Baumgartner (49) want to divorce. According to a spokesman for the Hollywood star, Baumgartner is said to have given “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce.
The rep went on to say that Costner regrets the situation and that the circumstances that have now led to the divorce filing are beyond his control. “We ask that the privacy of him, Christine and their children be respected at this difficult time,” Costner’s rep added.
They want joint custody
According to “TMZ” both are said to have requested joint custody of their three children Cayden (15), Hayes (14) and Grace (12). Costner and Baumgartner married in 2004 in Aspen, Colorado.
The actor has three other children from his first marriage (1978-1994) to Cindy Costner (66): Annie (39), Lily (36) and Joe (35). His seventh child, son Liam (27), comes from another relationship.
