Did Kevin Costner REALLY Knock Up A Yellowstone Co-Star?
Rumors of Kevin Costner Impregnating ‘Yellowstone’ Cast Member Before His Divorce is False
‘Yellowstone‘ star Kevin Costner has been the talk of the town just days after his wife Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce. A comment insinuated that infidelity was the cause of their breakup. The commenter went on to accuse Costner of getting his co-star pregnant. Here is a breakdown of the controversy.
Kevin Costner Is Not Expecting A Child From A ‘Yellowstone’ Co-star
Rumors of Kevin Costner impregnating someone on the set of ‘Yellowstone’ gained momentum recently. It has been a herculean task tracing who cooked it up. However, one of the earliest records of this is found on Twitter. Following news of Kevin Costner’s divorce, a Twitter user quipped:
“I wonder now, if the drama surrounding Kevin Costner and Yellowstone ‘scheduling,’ was due to the rumor of him potentially getting someone on set pregnant?”
Another commenter supported the claim by adding:
“So it wasn’t Bentley who got a girl pregnant on the Yellowstone set … it was Costner.”
But those close to Costner have refused to allow the gossip mills to have their way. Not long after the news exploded, a TMZ source maintained the pregnancy rumor concerning Kevin Costner on the ‘Yellowstone’ set was all shades of lies. Unfortunately, the film star’s new reality was a gateway for such a story to fly.
Costner’s Divorce From Christine Baumgartner Shocked The World
While fans were expecting an update on the ‘Yellowstone’ finale they were hit by shocking news from Kevin Costner. Earlier in the week, his wife of many years, Christine, decided to butt out. Surprisingly, fans were not the only ones surprised. A representative mentioned that Costner was blindsided by his wife’s actions. The same source claimed that some circumstances beyond his control made him complicit in the divorce.
Reportedly, Kevin Costner had no heads up Christine Baumgartner was ready to back out. His wife had cited their separation date as last month. The couple who have been together since 2004, are parents to three kids. For now, they are seeking joint custody of the children. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner has reacted to his wife’s divorce filing. He referenced their prenuptial agreement which compels Christine to leave her husband’s three homes.
This charade comes weeks after news that the actor would be leaving the “Yellowstone” franchise following the season 5 finale. The actor who got his career back on track with the series and a Golden Globe is yet to comment.
But production sources maintained that the series creator, Taylor Sheridan will work with another actor. It is not clear what transpired between Kevin Costner and Sheridan behind the cameras of ‘Yellowstone’. There was a report of a problem between the pair concerning work ethics. Following the release of the first half of season 5, Costner wanted to shoot the second half. Allegedly, the actor believed the series was time-consuming. However, his proposal was turned down, leading the actor to move on with other projects.
But a production source revealed getting the scripts has been the primary problem in beginning production. For now, no one knows when the series will debut or when production will commence. Also, the rumors of a spat between the showrunner and Costner have not been confirmed.
What is certain however is that “Yellowstone” will continue without Kevin Costner as lead. But this time, with Matthew McConaughey. Sheridan will team up with Paramount Network to continue the Dutton legacy story.
