Not a mutual decision. Kevin Costner is reeling after his wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce earlier this month — but he still wants to work things out.
“Everyone thought Kevin and his wife were super happy so it’s all surprising,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “He truly loves her and is trying to get her back. He’s been blindsided by this.”
Baumgartner, 49, filed for divorce from Costner, 68, on May 1, according to documents obtained by Us. The estranged couple tied the knot in 2004 and later welcomed three children: sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 12. The Yellowstone star also shares daughters Annie, 38, and Lily, 36, and son Joe, 34, with ex-wife Cindy Silva and son Liam, 27, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Rooney.
The Oscar winner reacted to Baumgartner’s divorce filing via a statement from his rep. “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,” the May 2 statement read. “We ask that his, Christine’s, and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
