Kevin Costner Reflects on Heartbreak of Celebrating Holidays as a Bachelor After Ex Remarries

Kevin Costner confessed that he misses celebrating the holiday season with his blended family under one roof – less than a month after his second ex-wife Christine Baumgartner remarried.

‘I’m a bachelor, so I kind of miss those, like, really cute things to do, you know, so I have to work especially hard to make sure there’s that stuff that [my seven children] think about and remember,’ the 70-year-old movie star told Us Weekly on Tuesday.

‘I think when they were younger, there were things that were more repetitive. Now you’re just fighting to get them home from college or fight…You know what I mean? Just getting together! So, I do the best I can to make it as warm as I can.’

And on Wednesday, Costner unveiled the music video for this 2024 single Find Your Way, and admitted he knew ‘all too well how hard the holidays can be for a lot of us’ even though ‘it’s supposed to be the happiest time of year.’

‘Missing loved ones we’ve lost, finding it hard to be joyful when your world feels heavy, maybe even facing tragic loss while the world around you is celebrating,’ the Modern West frontman wrote on Facebook.

‘If you’re feeling closer to the darkness than the light this year, this song is our prayer for you.’

Costner finalized his divorce from Baumgartner in 2024 after nearly 19 years of marriage, and he pays her $63K/month in support for their three children – 18-year-old son Cayden, 16-year-old son Hayes and 15-year-old daughter Grace.

On October 18, the 51-year-old philanthropist wed financier Josh Connor at Santa Ynez Ranch in Santa Ynez, CA in front of around 100 family and friends.
