The representative of Kevin Costner, renowned for his role in Yellowstone, conveyed in a statement to the same outlet, “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. We ask that his, Christine’s, and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
Insight into Their Separation
