Kevin Costner says divorce was a heartbreaking and crushing experience

Kevin Costner has opened up about the emotional toll of his divorce from his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, calling it a “crushing moment.”

The Yellowstone star said the split was painful but stressed he must stay strong for their three children. Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023, citing irreconcilable differences, leading to a lengthy legal battle before the pair reached a settlement earlier this year and agreed to joint custody.

Costner also recently dismissed rumors linking him to singer Jewel, clarifying that they are just friends and have never dated.
