Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner Finalize Divorce: A Look Back at their Journey

After months of legal proceedings, Hollywood actor Kevin Costner and his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner have officially finalized their divorce in a Santa Barbara court.

Their marriage, which lasted for 18 years, came to an end on Friday, February 16, as confirmed by court documents.

The couple shares joint custody of their three children – Cayden, Hayes, and Grace – as they had agreed back in September.

Christine first filed for divorce on May 1, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The separation date was listed as April 11, indicating the end of their marital relationship.

Kevin Costner, 69, and Christine Baumgartner, 49, began their relationship after meeting at a golf course where Costner was rehearsing for a film in 1996. They tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Costner’s ranch, The Dunbar, in Aspen, Colorado.

Prior to Christine, Kevin Costner was married to Cindy Silva for 16 years, with whom he shares three adult children. The actor also briefly dated Bridget Rooney, with whom he has a son named Liam.
