Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner’s divorce news has surprised the world, especially since the couple had been married for 18 years. However, Kevin Costner had expressed a concern about marriage before settling down with Baumgartner.
Costner Was Concerned About Having More Children
Kevin Costner already had four children when he started dating Christine Baumgartner. In an interview with Parade, he admitted that he was afraid of having more children and being unable to be an influential father. He also didn’t want to go through a custody battle again, as he explained to “Extra.” On the other hand, Baumgartner made it clear that having children was important to her, causing a four-year-long delay in their relationship.
However, one day, Costner realized he didn’t want to lose Baumgartner over his fear of having children and agreed to start a family with her. Now, they share three children.
Costner Is Determined To Have Joint Custody
Ironically, Costner is now in a position where he has to negotiate custody again. With their three children under 18, he and Baumgartner must decide on custody arrangements. Thankfully, both have asked for joint custody, indicating they may agree about their children’s best interests.
However, their divorce proceedings have just begun, and how it will play out in court remains to be seen.
