Kevin Costner’s Estranged Wife Christine Agrees to Leave Actor’s $145 Million Estate — But with One Condition
Kevin Costner’s estranged wife, Christine, has agreed to move out of the actor’s sprawling $145 million estate—provided Kevin complies with court-ordered financial support. Christine responded to Kevin’s claim that she violated their prenuptial agreement by not leaving the home within 30 days of filing for divorce.
She stated she will vacate the property by August 31, 2023, but only if Kevin honors “whatever support and fee orders the court issues on July 12.” This timeline gives her roughly 50 days to find and relocate to a new residence.
Christine explained, “Kevin wants me to rent a place without any financial plan in place. But I have to consider our three children. It’s not in their best interest to commit to a rental we might not be able to afford, which could lead to multiple moves.”
She added, “My priority is to maintain stability for our children, which requires proper resources and a plan to establish a stable home—not temporary, inconsistent housing.” Christine has no income and filed for divorce on May 1. Kevin claims she remains in his home despite multiple requests to leave and his offers of financial help for her relocation.
Kevin transferred $1 million into Christine’s bank account, as required by the prenup, suggesting she use that money to move. Christine argues that accessing the funds would forfeit her right to challenge the prenup’s validity.
Kevin’s lawyer insists, “Kevin has acted in good faith and done everything possible to ease the transition, but Christine refuses to leave the property, which she agreed to in 2004 as a condition of marriage.”
Christine is requesting $248,000 per month in child support for their three children—16-year-old Cayden, 14-year-old Hayes, and 13-year-old Grace—while Kevin believes $38,000 per month is appropriate. Christine states she has no personal income and only limited assets, including a bank account Kevin set up when they married 18 years ago and another account with less than $50,000.
In her recent filing, Christine opposes Kevin’s push for immediate eviction, saying it disregards the financial and emotional needs of their children, which were not addressed in their premarital agreement. Her lawyer emphasized that moving is a major undertaking requiring careful planning due to the children’s needs, and she cannot proceed until the court rules on child support.
A hearing is scheduled for early next month where a judge will decide whether Christine must leave immediately or by August. Christine also noted there have been no issues when Kevin stayed at the home after their split.
She said, “I agreed to Kevin using the primary bedroom while I slept elsewhere in the house. During that time, there was no physical or emotional harm from either party.”
Christine pointed out the estate includes three fully equipped residences, providing enough space for both parents and the children to live on the property through the end of August.
Her motion added, “Kevin himself acknowledged that he and his editing team will be using one of the secondary residences, where his office is located. Given the size of the Beach Club Compound, it’s possible for both parties to reside on the property temporarily with minimal contact until August.”
Kevin remains firm on wanting Christine out, and the judge will hear both sides at the upcoming hearing.
