What a surprise the world of entertainment took after breaking the news of the separation between actor Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner, whom he married more than 18 years ago.
In a statement shared via CNN, Costner’s representative, Arnold Robinson, revealed that the couple reached this decision due to “circumstances beyond their control”, making the “dissolution of the marriage” necessary.
Although they decided not to give more details about the final blow that led to their separation, Robinson called for “respect and privacy for Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner and their children as they go through this difficult time.”
Despite the commotion caused by the news of their separation, the protagonist of films such as “Robin Hood”, “Dances with Wolves” and “The Bodyguard” has remained out of speculation, as well as the issuance of any comment.
It was in 2004 that Costner married Baumgartner, a handbag designer and former model, in Colorado. However, the first meeting between the couple took place on a golf course, although it would be years later when they met again at the opening of a restaurant.
