Meet The Wife of Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner is currently married to Christine Baumgartner. Baumgartner is a former model and current purse designer. They first began dating in 2000 and briefly broke up in 2002. After reuniting, they got engaged in 2003. They officially married in 2004 at his ranch just outside Aspen, Colorado.

They have three children together: Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. Originally, Costner wasn’t sure that he wanted more children.

“She said, ‘I’m going to wait for you, but not long. When you come to your senses, come back to me.’ [laughs] And I did,” he told Parade.

Kevin Costner has discovered the secret to making his marriage work. “Maybe it’s the ability to say you’re sorry,” he shared. “I know that sounds so simple. If you’re willing to tell somebody that you love them, are you also willing to say you’re sorry? You need to, even when you think you’re in the right.”

His First Wife

Cindy Silva was Costner’s first wife. The pair met while studying at California State University. Costner and Silva wed in 1978, nine years before he got his big break starring in The Untouchables as Eliot Ness.

“She was beautiful, she was sweet, she was smarter than me,” Kevin Costner said of his then-wife to People in 1989. “She represented everything about women that I like.”

Silva later worked on the set on his movie Dances With Wolves. According to Country Living, they tried to make their relationship work but rumors of Costner’s infidelity surfaced shortly after they finished filming.

The couple divorced in 1994. Forbes estimated that Silva walked away with $80 million.

“After 16 years together, we are ending our marriage,” they said in a joint statement announcing their divorce. “We have amicably resolved all issues regarding our children and financial affairs and a full marital settlement has been reached.”

Silva and Kevin Costner had three children together: Annie, Lily, and Joe.

His Other Child

After his divorce from Silva, Kevin Costner dated Bridget Rooney. The brief couple welcomed their son and his fourth child, Liam. Costner publicly acknowledged his son in 1996 when Liam was five at the time. As for his mother, Rooney later married billionaire William Koch.
