Contrary to what Christine Baumgartner alleged, Kevin Costner wanted an amicable divorce and for ‘everything to be peaceful for the sake of his kids,’ a report says.
Kevin Costner, or people speaking on his behalf, are hitting back at estranged wife Christine Baumgartner’s portrayal of him as an insensitive father who jumped on a 10-minute Zoom call from Las Vegas to tell their three children that their parents were getting a divorce.that the “Yellowstone” actor gathered his children together at a restaurant near the family’s $145 million home outside Santa Barbara and broke the news in person that a divorce was imminent.
“He wanted everything to be peaceful for the sake of his kids and told Christine he didn’t want a messy divorce because he’d already been through one,” the source said, referring to the end of Costner’s first marriage in 1994 to college sweetheart Cindy Silva, which cost him a record-setting $80 million.
“The children’s welfare has always been my highest priority, and I was concerned they would find out about the divorce before Kevin and I could tell them. It was important for me that we tell the children in person and together,” Baumgartner said in the documents, obtained by People. “I am still confused by his motivation to do this via a very short Zoom session, especially since he was planning on being home five days later,” Baumgartner said. “He also could have easily come home from Las Vegas to have the conversation in person.”
