Is Kevin Costner Spending Time With Children During Messy Divorce?
Yellowstone alum Kevin Costner is going through a messy divorce with his soon-to-be ex-wife Christine Baumgartner. What about their three children together? Is Kevin Costner spending time with Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13?
His estranged wife has even accused Kevin of kicking them out of their home.
What is going on with Kevin Costner and his three youngest children?
Kevin Costner’s Reason For Court No-Show Was Children
Earlier this week, Kevin Costner and his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner were scheduled to meet in court over child support payments. According to People, the actor and director was absent because he was on a trip to British Columbia with the couple’s three children.
His legal team stated that this summer vacation was “planned for months” before the court rescheduled the date of this hearing. If that was the case, it may even be possible that Christine was originally part of this family vacation. She just recently filed for divorce on May 1.
However, the award-winning actor and director went out of the country with his three youngest children, spending time with them after filming the first of the four Horizon movies.
Is Kevin Costner Making His Children Homeless?
This news of Kevin vacationing with his children is quite a contrast to some of the latest quips from the headline-grabbing divorce. Kevin Costner wants his wife out of his $148 million Santa Barbara compound. In turn, she has accused her ex of making her children homeless.
However, the Dances With Wolves star’s legal team insists that the children are always welcome at the enormous compound. “The children are teenagers and may come and go between his home and Christine’s home once she finds a new residence.”
Recently, a judge ordered that Christine vacate the compound by the end of July.

Christine Baumgartner And Yellowstone Star Split Over Children
Before Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner married back in 2004, the couple had split for a short time. The issue that divided them was that Christine, nearly two decades younger than Kevin, wanted to have children. However, at this point, Kevin already had four children.
Kevin had three children, Annie, 39, Lily, 36, and Joe, 35 from his first marriage to Cindy Silva. That marriage ended in a record-breaking Hollywood divorce settlement of $80 million. Next, he had Liam, 26, from a relationship with Bridget Rooney.
But, as Kevin explained to Parade, as quoted by People, back in 2008, “Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn’t be an effective father.” Then went on, “I woke up and thought, ‘Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?’ That’s all it took….I decided that I was not going to miss out on love.”
Nearly three years after the Hollywood wedding at his Aspen home, the couple had their first child, Cayden Wyatt Costner.
