In the United States, on Monday after Thanksgiving, actor Kevin Costner shared a rare photo featuring six of his seven children, highlighting a family moment on a beach. The 69-year-old star of Yellowstone took to Instagram to express his gratitude for the special memories created with his children over the past year, reaching out to his 1.8 million followers with a heartfelt message about the importance of family during the holiday season. The snapshot included his children Lily, Joe, Grace, Hayes, Annie, and Cayden, but notably absent was his 28-year-old son Liam Costner, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Rooney. Kevin Costner's family dynamic stems from two marriages; he has three eldest children, who were born during his 16-year marriage to Cindy Costner that ended in 1994, and three younger children from his 18-year marriage to Christine Baumgartner, which resulted in a monthly child support payment of $63,000 following their divorce. Besides reflecting on his family life, the actor's post comes amid ongoing developments in his career. He is currently not filming Yellowstone due to scheduling conflicts with his own western project, Horizon: An American Saga, which has recently faced difficulties, including disappointing box office results. Kevin has invested significantly in Horizon, casting his son Hayes in a minor role and hiring his other son Joe for a mystery character in the upcoming Chapter 3. Despite the project's challenges, including the need to mortgage a property to fund it, Costner remains dedicated to completing the film’s chapters. Chapter 2 is set to release next year and will star several prominent actors. Costner's recent photo and Thanksgiving message, alongside ongoing professional pursuits, shed light on his commitment to family and dual role as a father and filmmaker. As the actor navigates his interesting family life and career, social media serves as a platform for sharing personal moments while managing public expectations tied to his professional endeavors.
