Kevin Costner Spotted Post-Divorce with Weight Gain During Grocery Run

CALABASAS, Calif. — Kevin Costner, the 70-year-old actor known for his roles in films like “Dances with Wolves,” was seen in public exhibiting a noticeable weight gain during a recent visit to Erewhon grocery store on Tuesday. This sighting comes in the wake of a turbulent personal life, marked by a highly publicized divorce from Christine Baumgartner.

Costner, who was married to Baumgartner for 20 years and has three children with her, was spotted shopping together with a longtime assistant. Visitors to the upscale supermarket noted that he seemed to be experiencing the aftermath of his separation, which had caused significant media attention.

Dressed casually in an ivory knit polo shirt, khaki pants, and a black varsity jacket, Costner’s fuller appearance was evident as he exited the store with a takeout lunch in hand. Despite his apparent physical change, witnesses reported he seemed in good spirits, eager to keep a low profile.

This recent outing occurs more than one year after Costner’s relationship with his wife began to sour, culminating in their divorce finalized in February 2024. Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that Costner’s adjustment to being newly single has not been easy, especially with news of Baumgartner’s new engagement.

In a separate development, Costner was informed in January of Baumgartner’s engagement to financier Josh Connor, sparking a mix of emotions as the couple settled into their new lives. An insider close to the actor noted, “He really appreciates that their sad split has led to such a beautiful friendship,” referring to a supportive relationship he maintains with his first wife, Cindy Silva, who has stood by him during this challenging transition.

Costner and Silva were married for 16 years and share three children. Sources claim they often find solace in each other’s company during family milestones, maintaining a supportive friendship despite their past.

As Costner navigates this new chapter, he reportedly has been leaning on friends for guidance and support, with insiders stating, “He has the ability to remain positive and is approaching this chapter in his life with optimism.”

As observers await further developments in Costner’s post-divorce journey, he continues to attract public interest, making headlines not just for his film work but his evolving personal life.
