Hollywood town is going through a dark phase right now, with several celebs’ split-up stories taking over the headlines. It seems romance is failing to stand the test of time in H-wood. It was in January this year that we heard season 4 Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas reveal the end of her marriage with Stephen Stagliano after 11 years of marriage. All this harrowing news is making everyone around reduce to tears.
Recently, the headlines of Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner’s separation are flashing everywhere. The news has made everyone dumbstruck because it was in November last year that Costner talked fondly about Baumgartner to PEOPLE. He says that everything is pretty and warm in his house because of Christine. She does these little things out of love, Costner shares.
Actor and filmmaker Kevin Costner confirmed his divorce after living together with his wife for nineteen years. The disheartening news was announced by Costner’s publicist, Arnold Robinson. His representative said in a statement that it was a great sorrow for Mr.Costner that he had been forced to participate in the dissolution of his marriage solely due to circumstances beyond his control.

Since the cause of this upsetting decision has not been revealed, Costner’s publicists urged the people to maintain Christine’s and their children’s privacy as they navigate through this critical time.
The Yellowstone star married Baumgartner in September 2004 after dating for nearly four years. They took their wedding vows on Costner’s ranch in Aspen. They have three adorable children, namely Grace, 12, Cayden, 15, and Hayes, 14. Before marriage to Baumgartner, Costner had three children from his previous marriage to Cindy Silva; Annie, 38, Joe, 34, and Lily, 36. Costner also had a son, Liam, aged 27, from his girlfriend, Bridget Rooney.
Costner, earlier this year, received a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in Television for his struggles in “Yellowstone”. Unfortunately, he and Baumgartner did not attend the ceremony. He took Instagram that time to share that he won’t be able to attend the evening because of flooding in their Santa Barbara house, but they both were “looking forward to it”. He even shared that Chris decorated their house with balloons to celebrate Costner’s achievement and create a festive vibe.
