<\/p>\nKevin Costner confirms major personal news: \u2018Great sadness.\u2019
\nYellowstone star Kevin Costner and his wife of nearly 19 years are divorcing. The news came as a shock to Costner who is currently busy working on his upcoming directorial project Horizon, a western movie. However, people close to the couple say Christine Baumgartner, who was the one to file for divorce, allegedly warned her husband that she would leave him had he continued be absent from home because of work. Apparently, Costner\u2019s absence was \u2018hard\u2019 for Baumgartner who wanted him to spend more time at home with his family in Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring filming, Kevin is not around very much. His absence has been very hard for her,\u201d a source reportedly said. Another insider reported that while Costner was aware that his wife was not happy in their marriage, her filing for divorce was nonetheless a shock to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cChristine doesn\u2019t want him to throw himself into another project. He has been obsessed with filming Horizon since last year. She wasn\u2019t happy about it,\u201d a source reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt times, his career has taken precedence over his home life,\u201d another source added.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of this success and excitement over the new project probably took his attention away from his family more than he realized. Since it didn\u2019t look like that would change and likely could get worse, it caused tension at home,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

The couple started dating back in 2000 and tied the knot some four years later, sharing three kids together, all under aged. This isn\u2019t Costner\u2019s first marriage. Previously, he was married to his college sweetheart Cindy Silva. During his beginnings as an actor, Silva supported his dream of becoming a star by working various jobs, including that of Snow White in Disneyland. However, as his career progressed, she wasn\u2019t comfortable with him shooting steamy scenes with female co-workers. There were also rumors of alleged affairs, and the couple split eventually.<\/p>\n
It was a nasty divorce which led for one of the most famous celebrities to experience loneliness for a long period of time.<\/p>\n

Well, until he met Baumgartner. The couple first dated and split because Costner didn\u2019t want to have more children, to which the former model said, \u201cI\u2019m going to wait for you, but not long. When you come to your senses, come back to me\u2019\u201d and he did.<\/p>\n
Not that this marriage has also come to an end, a representative of the actor said, \u201cIt 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe ask that his, Christine\u2019s and their children\u2019s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time,\u201d the statement further read.<\/p>\n

Reports are that Baumgartner has not filed for spousal support. Costner\u2019s response has been filed by Laura Wasser. \u201cSpousal support to be payable to petitioner pursuant to the terms of the parties\u2019 Premarital Agreement,\u201d Wasser added, indicating that there is a pre-nuptial agreement between both parties.<\/p>\n
