In a surprising turn of events, Kevin Costner and his wife of over 19 years, Jennifer, have announced their decision to divorce. The news has left fans stunned, as the couple had seemed to have a strong and loving relationship.

According to sources close to the couple, Jennifer filed for divorce citing Kevin’s busy work schedule as the main reason behind their decision. She allegedly expressed her unhappiness about Kevin’s absence from home due to his work commitments, particularly during the filming of his upcoming western film, Horizon.

“Kevin’s absence has been extremely difficult for Jennifer,” a source revealed. “She wanted him to spend more time at home with their family in Santa Barbara.” It seems that Kevin’s passion for his work took precedence over his home life, causing strain and tension in the relationship.

While Kevin was aware that his wife was unhappy, her decision to file for divorce still came as a surprise to him. “Christine [Jennifer] doesn’t want him to throw himself into another project. She wasn’t happy about his obsession with Horizon,” a source added.

The couple, who started dating in 2000, tied the knot four years later and have three young children together. This is not Kevin’s first marriage. He was previously married to his college sweetheart, Cindy Silva. Their relationship faced numerous challenges, including concerns about Kevin’s steamy scenes with female coworkers and reports of infidelity, eventually leading to their separation.

After his divorce from Cindy, Kevin experienced a period of loneliness until he met Jennifer Baumgartner. They initially broke up due to Kevin’s reluctance to have more children, but Jennifer gave him an ultimatum: “Come back to me when you’ve come to your senses.” And he did.

It is with deep sadness that Kevin Costner’s spokesperson confirmed the divorce, stating, “circumstances beyond Mr. Costner’s control have transpired, resulting in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.” The spokesperson further requested privacy for Kevin, Jennifer, and their children during this difficult time.

Reports suggest that Jennifer has not filed for spousal support, and it appears there is a prenuptial agreement in place.

It is always disheartening to hear about the end of a long-term marriage. Let’s hope that both Kevin and Jennifer find peace and happiness in their separate paths.
