On January 11, 2023, Kevin Costner posted a video to Instagram in which he told his fans why he couldn’t go to the Golden Globes this year. The actor said that on January 10, 2023, he and his wife had to take their kids out of school.
For the second time in five years, Santa Barbara’s freeways were flooded, and Kevin Costner and his family were on the wrong side of town. The family couldn’t get back to their house in time the night before, so they couldn’t get in the next day.
The actor said that the freeway was closed and that he and his wife of 18 years (in 2022) had planned to go to the event and even had their clothes ready. In a funny turn of events, Kevin Costner won an award for his role as John Dutton in the “Yellowstone” series at the event.
Regina Hall gave the award and said that his fellow actor wanted to be there. Then she went off script and joked about how much he really wanted to be there. The actress from “Scary Movie” came to know that the winner didn’t show up because of the rain and flooding.
Hall pointed out that Kevin Costner had to find shelter in Santa Barbara, and then she made fun of him by slapping her forehead and saying “Jesus,” which made the crowd laugh. But when fans saw Kevin’s video, where he talked about where he was, they felt sorry for him.
One person told those who couldn’t say anything nice to shut up and said, “Family first.” Another Kevin fan said that Hall was “badmouthing” Kevin’s choice to stay with his family by saying that he didn’t want to move.
A third person thought the star didn’t need to say sorry because the event wasn’t important enough. They said the same thing as the other fan and told Kevin to “always put family first.”
The Instagram user thought the actor was lucky that the storm didn’t destroy his beachfront property and that he and his family were safe. Someone else pointed out that “Yellowstone” was about family and home, and they thought that was more important than telling Kevin Costner to “stay safe.”
During the storm, the actor had a big family to take care of. However, it wasn’t easy for him to become a father again after his divorce. He took on the role again, but things didn’t go as planned.
Kevin Costner’s Worries After Having Seven Children in His late 60s.
Kevin Costner, who is 68 years old at present, is proud to have seven children. With his ex-wife Cindy Silva, he had three children: Annie, Lily, and Joe. With his ex-partner, Bridget Rooney, he had a son, Liam.
The Golden Globe-winning actor got married to his current wife, Christine Baumgartner, in September 2004. Cayden Wyatt, Logan Hayes, and Grace Avery are their three children.
Kevin Costner admitted in June 2020 that even though he was a big star, his kids were “normal.” The Academy Award winner, who was now married to a designer, also said:
I’m really comfortable with my family. I’m really comfortable with my children.
He said his house was like a river, and you had to go with the flow. Kevin said that it could still be whatever you thought it would be, but that everything had to work with whatever the day brought.
In November 2022, he told them that being a dad was one of the best things in his life. He told parents to get down on the ground with their kids and play with them. He also told them to teach their kids to be independent, because kids will become that way anyway.
But he said that, like other parents, he learned as he went along. Baumgartner’s husband said that when he wasn’t working, he lived a normal life with his family. He said that he was a father, a provider, and a husband and that the world didn’t revolve around him.
When he wasn’t working, taking their kids to events, or waiting for them to leave a party, he and his wife lived on a freeway. Kevin didn’t want to get married again after his divorce from Silva in 1994. He said:
People have a wrong idea about how my life works.
In 2008, the actor said that Baumgartner wanted to have a child with him but was afraid he wouldn’t be a “good” parent. Then he asked himself if he was willing to lose his wife, who wanted to be with him until he died, just because he was afraid of having a child.
He didn’t want to miss out on love, so he didn’t. On May 6, 2007, they had their son Cayden. Kevin was 52 when he became a dad for the second time. He was worried about being a dad after 50.
The star hoped to be as excited about his second child as he was about his first. He said that he was afraid that someone else would raise his new baby if he died too soon.
Baumgartner’s husband, who lived on a family ranch, was worried that he wouldn’t be able to teach his son what he thought it meant to be a man. He joked about pretending to sleep so he wouldn’t have to change Cayden’s diapers.
Kevin’s 80-Year-Old Family Ranch
Kevin’s house in Santa Barbara was built around 1940, and it had only two bedrooms and one bathroom. But it had 500 feet of ocean frontage, more than 10 acres of land along the coast, more than enough places to ride horses, and rare access to the beach.
The actor turned the polo field on the estate into a field for baseball. He also took down other buildings to make room for a new house, but Kevin and his wife decided not to do it in the end because they were more interested in their kids.
