Kevin Costner has consistently captivated audiences with his charisma and talent, but what are his best roles?“It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action. We ask that his, Christine’s, and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time,” Kevin’s representative said in a statement following Christine’s divorce filing in May.
Though Kevin and Christine’s divorce has been finalized, the terms of their agreement are being kept private. The pair did sign a prenup prior to their 2003 wedding, which entitled Christine to a million-dollar payout. However, it stipulated Kevin was to retain full ownership of their family home, which he bought a decade prior to their wedding.
Christine was originally refusing to move out of the home, which Kevin said defied their prenup, while she claimed she didn’t have the finances to relocate. Christine has since left the home for a rental property.

The parents-of-three also agreed to a child support and custody agreement in mid-September. Christine was awarded much less than she was initially seeking in monthly support from her ex-husband. The court decided that Kevin will provide Christine with $63,209 monthly, as opposed to her initial request for $161,592.
The exes are parents to three teenagers: Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.
During the child support proceedings, Kevin pointed out that Christine has been getting financial assistance from her family as well as a new boyfriend, which seems to have factored into the court’s decision to award her much less than she expected.
“Christine’s attack [on me] is a smoke screen to deflect attention from her lack of candor regarding her own financial situation,” Kevin’s court filing argued. “Christine was forced to admit at her deposition that her brother recently gave her $80,000 and her boyfriend recently gave her $20,000.”
For now, Christine hasn’t publicly commented on the speculation that Kevin is dating someone new following their separation.
