May 2024 · 4 minute read

When he’s not in front of cameras, Kevin Costner’s the doting dad of seven kids.

The “Yellowstone” star welcomed three children each with his wives, Cindy Silva and Christine Baumgartner, prior to their divorces.

Between their marriages, the actor dated political activist Birgit Cunningham, supermodel Elle MacPherson and Bridget Rooney. He shares a son with the latter.

Costner told People in November 2022 that he is a “provider” for his family, noting that the “world doesn’t revolve around” him when he’s with his kids.

Six months later, Baumgartner filed for divorce from the Golden Globe winner after 18 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

Meet Costner’s children with the handbag designer, as well as his kids with Silva and Rooney, below.

Annie Costner

Kevin started dating Silva in 1975 when they attended California State University, Fullerton, and the duo got married three years later.

In 1984, the former couple became parents when daughter Annie arrived.

She has followed her dad’s Hollywood footsteps, starting an acting career at a young age and founding boutique production company Sound Off Films in 2014.

Lily Costner

Annie’s sister, Lily, joined the family in 1986.

Although Kevin’s second child has appeared in a few of his films, Lily is more passionate about singing.

“She’s really gifted,” the proud dad gushed to Taste of Country in 2021. “She’s content with performing. Does she want to give it to the world? I don’t know.”

Joe Costner

Kevin’s son Joe, who works as a sound engineer and production sound mixer, was born in 1988.

Six years later, Kevin and Silva got divorced after 16 years of marriage over rumors of an affair — and the Emmy winner’s “faith was shaken.”

“No one wants their marriage to end, and it did,” he explained to The Hollywood Reporter in 2012. “You are going to see the people you love most, your children, only half as much. That’s a huge loss.”

Following his divorce, Kevin had a brief relationship with Rooney, niece of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ then-owner Dan Rooney.

Bridget welcomed son Liam after they called it quits.

The exes’ child, who stayed out of the spotlight while growing up, has worked in real estate.

Kevin married Baumgartner in 2004 — but the duo briefly broke up before their nuptials over the groom’s “fear” of fathering more kids.

“[She] wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn’t be an effective father,” he told Closer Weekly in 2018. “I woke up and thought, ‘Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?’ That’s all it took.”

The duo’s eldest son, Cayden, was born in 2007.

Two years later, the pair’s second child together, son Hayes, arrived.

Kevin was not afraid to “get down on the ground and play” with his little ones as an older dad, he explained to People in 2022.

“I’m like any other parent: I’m trying to figure it out,” he told the outlet at the time. “When I’m not making a movie, I’m … getting the kids to their stuff or I’m waiting for them to come out of a party. I’m just twiddling my thumbs.”

Kevin and Baumgartner welcomed a baby girl named Grace in 2010.

When the former model filed for divorce from her husband in May 2023, Kevin’s rep asked that Grace and her brothers’ “privacy be respected in this difficult time.”

The Oscar winner requested joint custody of their children at the time.
