He has gone above and beyond what the prenup specified,” a source tells of the “Yellowstone” actor
Kevin Costner claims his estranged wife Christine is refusing to leave the home they share amid their divorce, according to TMZ.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ Wednesday, Costner said that per their prenuptial agreement, Christine had 30 days to leave the house owned by the Yellowstone actor after filing for divorce. Since she filed on May 1, that deadline has passed and she is still at the property.
The documents further allege, according to TMZ, that Christine, 49, has not budged in an effort to force Costner, 68, to agree to “various financial demands.”
A source tells that Costner has given his ex $1 million on top of what is required in their prenuptial agreement.
“He has gone above and beyond what the prenup specified,” says the source.
The documents also state that Costner is willing to contribute a $10,000 advance toward Christine’s moving costs and $30,000 per month for a rental home, per TMZ.
An attorney for Christine has not returned request for comment.
A rep for the Field of Dreams actor confirmed to on May 2 that he and his wife of 18 years were breaking up after she filed for divorce. Christine listed their date of separation as April 11, and cited irreconcilable differences.
Costner, in his response filed afterward, also asked for joint custody and cited irreconcilable differences. The actor/director’s filing also mentioned a prenup, in regards to spousal support, legal fees and properties.
The “separate property” his legal team listed include: “Miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects; earnings and accumulations of Respondent before marriage, during marriage, and from and after the date of separation; [and] there are additional separate property assets and obligations of each party as mandated by the parties’ Premarital Agreement.”
They also add, “Pursuant to the terms in Paragraph 9.A. of the parties’ Premarital Agreement, Petitioner to vacate Respondent’s separate property residences.”
In a statement last month, Costner’s rep said, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.”
A source then told that divorce wasn’t Costner’s idea: “It was not anything that he wanted or sought, and if he could change the situation, he would.”
The following week, a family source told that while his estranged wife’s filing “was an unpleasant surprise” for the actor, he “wasn’t shocked” by it.
“But this is not what he wanted,” the insider added. “He knew that Christine was unhappy, though.”
While Christine “wants them to spend family time at their Santa Barbara home,” the source continued, “during filming, Kevin is not around very much.”
“His absence has been very hard for her,” the insider said. “Christine doesn’t want him to throw himself into another project. He has been obsessed with filming Horizon since last year. She wasn’t happy about it.”
The pair married in September 2004 and share three kids: sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, plus daughter Grace, 13. He is also dad to four older children from previous relationships: Annie, Lily, Joe and Liam.
