The path to Hollywood is strewn with shattered dreams and broken hearts, the latter the more common. Even the most dashing and richest stars can’t guarantee themselves success in matters of the heart. Yellowstone star Kevin Costner serves as a stark reminder of that very truth, who went through a very difficult phase in his love life.
However, it seems like Costner is finding it difficult to move on from his broken marriage, which he once believed to be the fairytale romance he had always hoped for. While dealing with one’s unresolved issues may not always be the easiest, the Man of Steel star, 69, seems to have found an outlet in the form of music.
Kevin Costner is Reportedly Planning a Revenge Song
Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner were together for almost two decades before Baumgartner filed for divorce in 2023. This came as a shock to the former, who felt the case hit him out of the blue.
Two months later, the duo had finalized the divorce, with Baumgartner asking for $248,000 a month in child support. Costner quickly pointed out the exorbitant demand that his ex-wife had placed, ending up paying $63,000 instead.
Following the ugly divorce, Costner immersed himself in his creative efforts, completing his passion project Horizon: An American Saga. However, according to Life & Style magazine, the actor is working on something more, a project closer to his heart.
An insider report via Life & Style states:
He’s got quite a musical following, and people will be interested to know his heart hasn’t healed and he’s got a ton of built-up angst to release. This is his chance to let off some steam and [share] his two cents without coming across as a total jerk.

Looks like Costner is hanging up his cowboy boots, for now, to deal with his heartache first, exchanging his hat and pistol for a mic and a good ol’ bottle of whiskey. And his verses of sorrow might be his first steps toward healing, along with possibly penning a soulful banger that might become a staple at jazz clubs or bars.
Kevin Costner Isn’t Buying Into Christine Baumgartner’s Romance Rumors?
The entire divorce proceeding went by really quickly, leaving Kevin Costner at a loss for words. While he watched his family drift farther away from him, Baumgartner reportedly had already moved on with Costner’s neighbor and former best friend Josh Connor, who was spotted having a good time with Costner’s ex-wife and his kids (via TMZ).
As per an insider report, this sudden change had rattled Costner from the inside. And he was unhappy with the entire ordeal:
Kevin never wanted the divorce but that’s the hand he was dealt, but seeing his ex getting ready to marry his old friend, and getting dumped by Jewel — it’s left him bruised!
Costner felt betrayed not just by his ex-wife, but also by his once best friend. Moreover, the separation also had an impact on his dating life, as his budding romance with the American singer-songwriter and poet Jewel also fell through.
The Dances With Wolves star is reportedly drifting like a stray kite caught in the wind, desperately looking for closure. Perhaps this diss track might just give him that!
