Kevin Costner Says He’s in “Horrible Place” Amid Divorce Hearing

Kevin Costner is speaking out on his divorce battle. 

The Yellowstone star got candid on his ongoing court proceedings with wife of 18 years Christine Baumgartner following a hearing in Santa Barbara, Calif. on Sept. 1.

Baumgartner is asking for $161,592 per month in child support for their kids Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13, while Costner is arguing he should only have to pay $60,000 per month, per People. In court, her lawyers accused Costner, 68, of earning more money that he’d previously said, prompting the actor to quip, “Oh good, we’ll have to have a treasure hunt to find it,” according to Access Hollywood.

Following the apparent joke, Costner spoke to the outlet outside the courthouse on the serious state of affairs.

“Were you laughing? I wasn’t,” he said. “This is a horrible place to be but this is where we’re at.”

The Oscar winner continued, “It feels so bad, we’re talking about somebody I love on the other side… I just can’t.”
