Breakups can bring the worst out of a couple, especially when that couple happens to be in the public eye. In the case of Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner, social media and online rumors took a toll on their reputations during their divorce proceedings. Shortly after Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023, rumors started on social media that the couple was divorcing because Costner had gotten a woman pregnant on the set of his hit show, “Yellowstone.” The source of the rumor was unknown, and it was never revealed which woman was allegedly carrying Costner’s child. The “Dances with Wolves” actor’s representative told The Daily Mail that the rumor was “absolutely not true.”
During the divorce proceedings, Costner’s lawyers were adamant that he did not commit infidelity during the marriage. According to the court documents (via People), Kevin “does not know for a fact if [Christine] engaged in any ‘extramarital romantic relationships’ before separation and, if so, whether she spent any of his money or charged any expenses in furtherance of her affair(s) on credit cards he paid.” The documents also stated, “[Kevin] has no responsive documents for ‘extramarital romantic relationships’ in which he engaged because he engaged in none.”
