In 2018, he told Parade that movies are a “hobby, just like building houses is a hobby for me, creating an environment for my children and friends. I want to make places where people can feel safe and good and hopefully flourish.” While some of his older kids have followed in his footsteps into the entertainment industry, “we really don’t talk about my movies at all,” he said of him and his family. “It’s not really a part of our lives; it’s [just] what I do.” In their off-time, the family heads to their 160-acre ranch just outside of Aspen, Colorado, to ride horses and decompress.

Who are Kevin Costner’s children?
Costner has been married twice—first to Cindy Silva, to whom he was married from 1978 to 1994—and second to Christine Baumgartner, whom he married in 2004. Costner had three children with his first wife, Cindy—Annie, 38; Lily, 36; and Joe, 34. The couple, who met at California State University at Fullerton, were married for 16 years before divorcing in 1994. After announcing the divorce, Costner started seeing Bridget Rooney, the Pittsburg Steelers heiress, but it was a short-lived affair. However, the seven-month relationship resulted in a child—Costner’s fourth—a son named Liam, now 26 years old. Costner had an on-again, off-again relationship with Baumgartner, a model-slash-handbag-designer, whom he dated for two years in the early ’00s. They broke up in 2002 with rumors swirling that Baumgartner and Costner disagreed about having more children. “She said, ‘I’m going to wait for you, but not long. When you come to your senses, come back to me,’” Costner told Parade years later. “And I did. Maybe it’s the ability to say you’re sorry.” Shortly after getting back together, they wed in 2004. They had three children together—Cayden Wyatt, 15, Hayes Logan, 13, and Grace Avery, 12. “I don’t kid myself about certain realities: I won’t be around to see as much of this one’s life as I’ll get to see of my older kids’ lives,” Costner once said. “So with [them], I really want to be there for every single moment that I can.”

In fact, most of Costner’s kids make red carpet appearances alongside their father from time to time. In 2015, Costner told Mom.com, “As [my] children interact together, there’s always this little bit of, ‘Do you care for us now as much as you do them?’ That’s just a natural thing that happens, and you have to talk about how big love is.” Costner added, “The ability to be able to love somebody else doesn’t mean there’s less love for you. Love seems to be always able to hang on to as many people as needs to be in that circle.”
