The insider shared that the ‘Dances with Wolves’ star took measures to keep his family together and “paid her lip service by demanding a more favorable shooting schedule on Yellowstone. But then he threw gasoline on the fire by using that time to focus on his Civil War project.”
This will be Costner’s second divorce as he was married to Cindy Silva from 1978 to 1994. Another insider told the publication, “Kevin already lost it all once because of his selfish behavior. Now he's facing losing his second family, and his professional reputation is on the rocks. He's practically begging Christine to take him back!”
This comes as sources told Us Weekly, “He is apparently still trying to save his marriage. Kevin loves his wife and children so this has been very hard on him. He is saying that this is his worst nightmare and he would do anything for his family.” Sources added, “Everyone thought Kevin and his wife were super happy, so it’s all surprising. He truly loves her and is trying to get her back. He’s been blindsided by this.”

“At the Oscars didn’t you think he was amazing? His speech. He was so elegant, so eloquent, so manly,” the 57-year-old added, which resulted in hilarious reactions from people online. A user tweeted, “Now that's a hot couple.” A second one said, “I would love this for my taurus sis! They would have fun together!”
A third user remarked, “I think they’ve both racked up right about the same number of divorces?” “Maybe you should talk to his ex-wife first. Looks are only skin deep,” a fourth user suggested while a fifth added, “Kev's current wife is way younger than he is and he has young kids. Lu isn't the type to hang with Kev and his kids. She hit on the pirate, the tennis instructor, the dog groomer, and the concierge. She needs to read the room. She looks great but she's out of her league.”
