Kevin Costner’s wife files for divorce as Yellowstone actor admits ‘circumstances beyond his control’ led to split
YELLOWSTONE star Kevin Costner’s wife, Christine Baumgartner, has chosen to end her relationship with Kevin after 18 years.

Christine recently filed for divorce from Kevin[/caption]
Christine, 49, filed on Monday, TMZ reported.
The clothing designer didn’t divulge specifically why she wanted to quit the relationship.
Instead, she just declared the reason being as merely “irreconcilable differences.”
A representative from Kevin’s team told TMZ that the divorce is of great sadness to the 68-year-old.
“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 representative explained.
“We ask that his, Christine’s and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
The estranged couple shares three children together: sons Cayden, 15, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 12.
At this time, Christine is only asking for joint custody of their kids, and not for spousal support.
In a response that Kevin’s lawyer Laura Wasser, 54, filed on his behalf on Tuesday, it was acknowledged that spousal support was “to be payable to petitioner” per their “Premarital Agreement.”
Also, in the response, it was explained that Kevin wanted joint custody of their kids as well.
Christine was Kevin’s second wife.
WHO IS CHRISTINE?
Kevin married Christine Baumgartner in 2004.
She was most famously known for her work with E! Live from the Red Carpet, Primetime, and Die Johannes B. Kerner Show.
Christine is also a former model and current handbag designer who got a degree in Business from California State University.
While the estranged couple have three children together, Kevin himself is the father of seven.
His previous children come from his past relationships with Cindy Silva and Bridget Rooney.
Kevin’s other children include Annie, Lily, Joe, and Liam.
It was revealed in 2012 that he and Christine almost did not get married because he wasn’t interested in having any more children.
“She said, ‘I’m going to wait for you, but not long. When you come to your senses, come back to me,’” Kevin told Parade back in 2012.
“And I did.”
Kevin and Christine chose to raise their children out of the spotlight on their 165-acre Dunbar Ranch; just outside Aspen, Colorado.
THE SHOW GOES ON
While Kevin may no longer have a wife, he still does have a thriving career.
For the past six years and the past five seasons, he has led the Yellowstone cast.
Kevin first signed on to the Western TV drama in May 2017.
Not only does he play one of the main characters, but he is also an executive producer for the show.
The Oscar winner takes on the part of Montana rancher-turned-governor John Dutton III.
His role as the Dutton family’s patriarch netted him his third Golden Globe win.
At the 2023 ceremony, Kevin took home the award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama.
Regarding the program’s development and what drew him to Yellowstone, he told Deadline: “I like to think my tastes are broad but a lot of people think I do anything with a horse in it.
“Western themes are very hard to pull off. There’s a tendency to think white hat, black hat and it’s much more complicated.

Ukraine Is Now Using Steam Decks To Control Machine Gun Turrets
In the TPO footage, the Sabre is firing what appears to be a PKT belt-fed machine gun. The PKT is a heavy barrelled machine that doesn’t have a stock and is typically mounted on vehicles like armored personnel carriers. It uses a solenoid trigger so it can be fired remotely, which is the cable running out of the back of the gun and into the complex of metal and wires on the side of the turret.
The Sabre system wasn’t always controlled with a Steam Deck […]. The first instances of the weapon appeared in 2014. The U.S. and the rest of NATO is giving Ukraine a lot of money for defense now, but that wasn’t the case when Russia first invaded in 2014. To fill its funding gaps, Ukrainians ran a variety of crowdfunding campaigns. Over the years, Ukraine has used crowdfunding to pay for everything from drones to hospitals. One of the most popular websites is The People’s Project, and it’s there that the Sabre was born. The People’s Project launched the crowdfunding campaign for Sabre in 2015 and collected more than $12,000 for the project over the next two years. It’s initial goal was to deploy 10 of these systems.

I’m a pest control expert – there’s an easy way to stop mice & rats entering your home… and it costs just £1 at Asda
A PEST control expert has revealed an easy way to stop mice and rats from entering your home – and it costs just £1 from Asda.
The expert took to TikTok (@twinhomeexperts) to tell his followers the genius way to get rid of pesky rodents.
A pest control expert shared his £1 hack to stop mice and rats from entering your home[/caption]
The clip, captioned: “RAT Hack we want to share…” begins by panning the bottom of a door with some strange looking materials in front of the gap.
A green mesh layer with a metal sponge can be seen blocking the gap beneath the door.
“If you have any potential sources of where you think the rats are coming in and out, what you can do is take a [metal] sponge, fill that particular hole.”
The metal will block the entry point rodents are using.
Laying a soft sponge that mice and rats can chew through before the metal one can act as proof that this is the entry point in use.
If there are chewed up bits of sponge before the wire mesh the following day, it proves rodents have been trying to gnaw their way through.
He then wrote: “Next step is to now investigate the exterior entry point, seal then trap”.
All this cheap hack takes is a steel wool sponge.
Asda sells spiral scourers for as little as £1.
The handy video racked up over 1,000 likes and viewers were quick to leave their thoughts on the useful tip.
One user wrote: “Great hack!”
Another said: “Smart tactic. I definitely need to do this in my garage”.
A third commented: “That’s interesting,” to which the pest expert replied: “They chew to get to the food”.
