Kevin Costner may have a history of being linked to alleged affairs, but that’s not what caused his split from Christine Baumgartner. Or, at least that’s what a close friend is saying. According to Page Six, one of Costner’s longtime friends denied all the gossip that the “Yellowstone” actor cheated on Baumgartner. The source shared, “There was no issue of cheating at all.”
After their split was announced, many pointed out that Costner had a history of cheating accusations with his past wife, Cindy Silva. However, that didn’t have anything to do with his breakup with the handbag designer. One of the actor’s reps even told Page Six the cheating rumors were “absolutely not true.” The information Costner’s friend and rep gave to the outlet seems to be accurate, because not only was the world shocked by the sudden divorce, but the actor also had no idea it was coming.

Costner’s friend shared with the outlet that the actor didn’t expect the divorce filing. They revealed, “Kevin was very surprised by Christine’s actions, he obviously doesn’t want the divorce and he would take her back. It’s disappointing, he loves her and he loves his children.” In fact, just this March, the couple was all smiles at the 2023 Oscars, per Country Living. Costner and Baumgartner walked hand in hand as they posed on the red carpet, but looks can be deceiving.
