Kevin Costner divorces man 19 years younger than him

The reason why Hollywood actor and director Kevin Costner divorced his wife, who is 19 years younger than him, has been revealed.

On the 9th (Korean time), the entertainment media People reported that Kevin's second wife, Christine Baum Gartner, had been struggling with her husband's work addiction problem. It was said that Christine felt his absence due to Kevin's frequent filming.

Costner claims that even though he knew his wife was unhappy, he did not take care of the family by concentrating on directing, producing and starring in the western drama 'Horizon', which he worked on last year.

Kevin Costner does not want a divorce and says, "If I can change the situation, I will."

Costner married handbag designer and model Christine Baumgartner in Colorado in 2004. The couple has three children, sons Kayden and Hayes, and daughter Grace. Costner also has four other children from his relationship with his ex-wife.
