Kevin Costner's children were by his side during his highly-anticipated film premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024. The 69-year-old actor stars as cowboy Hayes Ellison in his upcoming film Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, which boasts a star-studded cast including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jamie Campbell Bower, Danny Huston, Jena Malone, and Luke Wilson.
Not only does Kevin take on the lead role in the film, but he also wrote and directed it, showcasing his many talents. The premiere at Cannes was a huge success, with the audience giving the film a 10-minute standing ovation. Adding to the excitement, Kevin's son Hayes makes his acting debut in the film, playing Sienna's character's son.
During the festival, Kevin was joined by five of his seven children, who proudly posed for photos with their famous father on the red carpet. As the film's release date of June 28 approaches, all eyes are on Kevin's family life - from his past relationships to his children who are following in his footsteps.
Kevin Costner has a total of seven children, with some of them choosing to follow their father's Hollywood path. His eldest daughter, Annie, 40, was born in 1984 to his former partner Cindy Silva. Like her father, Annie has also made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, appearing in the Oscar-winning film Dances With Wolves alongside Kevin. She has also landed roles in The Baby-Sitters Club, The Postman, and Lazy Teenage Superheroes. In 2014, she founded her own production company, Sound Off Films, and has produced documentaries such as The Pittsburgh Drug Trials and The Discarded: A Tale of Two Rios.
Kevin and Cindy also share a second daughter, Lily, 37, who also pursued a career in acting. Both Lily and her father appeared in The Postman, and she also had a role in The Baby-Sitters Club with her older sister. Along with Annie and Lily, Kevin and Cindy have a son named Joe, 36, who followed in his siblings' footsteps and appeared in The Postman and Tin Cup with his father. However, Joe prefers to work behind the scenes and is now an audio engineer and production sound mixer.
After his split from Cindy, Kevin had a brief relationship with Bridget Rooney, and they welcomed their son Liam, 26, in 1996. Liam prefers to stay out of the spotlight and reportedly works in the world of real estate. In 2004, Kevin tied the knot with his girlfriend Christine Baumgartner, and they have three children together - Cayden Wyatt, 17, Hayes Logan, 15, and Grace Avery, 13. Cayden and Hayes have both appeared in films with their father, with Hayes even starring alongside him in Horizon. Despite some criticism for casting his son without any prior acting experience, Kevin defended his decision, stating that he wanted to keep his family close while he was away on set.
Sadly, Kevin's marriage to Christine came to an end in 2023, and they finalized their divorce three years later. The couple's youngest child, Grace Avery, was born in 2020, just a year before their shocking split. In a statement to TMZ, a representative for Kevin stated that the divorce was due to "circumstances beyond his control."
In an interview with People, Kevin opened up about becoming a father again at a later stage in life, saying, "My fundamental fear is that my new baby, someone [else] will raise him, meaning that my life will end prematurely. I won't get to coach him in what I think it is to be a man. I'd like to be the person that tells him about life." Despite his fears, Kevin is determined to be a hands-on father and joked about faking sleep to avoid changing diapers.
Fans can catch Kevin and Hayes in action in Horizon: An American Saga, which is set to release on June 28. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency - they'd love to hear from you.
