The divorce cost Kevin a lot.
It was an unexpected slap in the face for Kevin Costner (68). After 18 years of marriage, his was enough Mrs. Christine Baumgartner (49) filed for divorce earlier this week, leaves the movie cowboy alone in the Wild West. And without warning the actor.
The reason according to “TMZ”: “Irreparable differences”. ER worked far too much on the set of his current series, Yellowstone. In addition, the Oscar hero (“Dances With Wolves”) had already thrown himself into the next major project, working on his lifelong dream (title: “Horizin”). This will be a multi-part cinema western. The effort for this: gigantic!
Too often in the saddle for his films. Too little on the couch at home with his family: Kevin Costner is considered a “workhorse”
So it just didn’t fit anymore. SHE wanted to have him at home more often. Kevin Costner decided to trundle home instead of hissing beer with his fellow cowboys after the shoot, but the plan didn’t work out.
As if the divorce wasn’t bad enough, there are still rumors about the reason for the marriage. Not only is Costner allegedly having an affair on the set of “Yellowstone,” the affair is said to have even got him pregnant.

Users tweeted: “Now I’m wondering if the drama surrounding Kevin Costner and the Yellowstone plan is due to the rumor that he may have impregnated someone on set?”
Another allegedly wants to know: “So it wasn’t (Wes) Bentley (44, fellow actor) who got a girl pregnant on the Yellowstone set … it was Costner.” But nobody has provided any evidence for these claims.
It is unclear where the gossip came from and who the supposedly pregnant affair was supposed to be. But everything first made the rounds on social media.
What’s up? An insider tells at least to “ TMZ“, the pregnancy rumors are “total nonsense.”
There should be NO truth to the rumours. In any case, Kevin Costner had his lawyers respond to his wife’s application for divorce and referred directly to the marriage contract.

Sources close to Kevin deny on behalf of the star that he cheated on his wife. The opposite should be the case: “He still loves her and the children and hopes that they will do it again,” says an acquaintance of the star.
They want shared custody of their three children. Baumgartner will remain at the Costners’ luxury home near Santa Barbara for the time being. The three kids also go to school here.
That doesn’t (yet) smell like a rose war!
