However, his current wife, Christine Baumgartner, may not be able to walk away with much considering the 'Yellowstone' star has an ironclad prenuptial agreement in place this time. It was recently reported that Baumgartner filed for divorce from her husband and both have filed for joint custody of their three children.

The family's primary residence was in Ventura, California, 30 miles south of Santa Barbara. Costner also owns a 160-acre estate in Aspen, where he and Baumgartner tied the knot in 2004.

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner

Costner and Baumgartner first began dating in 1998 after having crossed paths in 1996 when the actor was filming his movie 'Tin Cup.' He confessed at the time that he wasn't ready to fall in love again when he first met her. Both Costner and Baumgartner graduated from California State University, with the latter earning a degree in business. The lovers eventually married in 2004 in the Aspen estate and went on to have three children together, namely Cayden, 15, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 12. Now, Baumgartner is seeking joint custody of them after deciding to part ways with her husband of 19 years.

It's worth noting that Baumgarnter's net worth pales in comparison to her star husband. However, she has built a successful career for herself and has an estimated net worth of $7 million as the co-founder of handbag company, Cat Bag Couture, and from her former career as a model. As menitoned, Baumgartner is not seeking spousal support from her soon-to-be-ex partner, with Costner's response filed by Laura Wasser. According to Wasser, a prenuptial agreement exists between the couple. "Spousal support to be payable to petitioner pursuant to the terms of the parties' Premarital Agreement," she stated in court records.
