Kevin Costner has opened up about his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, with whom he shares three children. The former couple's split has already been making headlines - from Christine's demand of over $100,000 in child support to Kevin being accused of trying to make his children homeless.
The Yellowstone actor recently spoke to Access Hollywood outside of the courthouse, where a judge ruled in his favour in the child support battle. Kevin said that the situation feels "so bad, we're talking about somebody I love on the other side. I just can't". When asked if he still holds love for Christine, he said, "of course".
The couple's divorce has been an ugly battle, especially when it comes to the child support payments. Kevin was said to be contributing $129,000 per month, but Christine felt that this was not sufficient for their children's lifestyle. She argued that it should be increased to $175,057 per month, however the judge ultimately decided to cut it down to $63,000.
Christine had even filed documents claiming that Kevin should be forced to pay more child support "so that the children can go on comparable vacations when they are with her". She argued that even the increased fee would not be enough to replicate Kevin's lifestyle, but it would be sufficient to provide the children with a relatively comparable one.
The couple had been married for 18 years when they filed for divorce last May. This is among the first times that Kevin has spoken publicly about it, other than a statement released through his legal team. In the statement, he denied engaging in any extramarital romantic relationships.
It is clear that Kevin and Christine's divorce has been a difficult and heartbreaking experience for both of them. One can only hope that the situation can be resolved in a way that works for both parties and their family, so that all parties involved can move on and find peace.
