Kevin Costner and his ex-wife Christine have officially finalized their divorce. The marriage was terminated on Friday, February 16, as per court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Monday. Christine, 49, filed court documents requesting a Santa Barbara, Calif., court excuse both parties from completing a mandated co-parenting course.
The Yellowstone actor and his ex-wife have agreed to retain joint custody of their three children and settled their divorce back in September. A representative for Kevin, 69, stated that the couple reached an amicable resolution of all divorce proceedings.
Christine initially filed for divorce on May 1, 2023, after 18 years of marriage, listing her date of separation from Kevin as April 11. The couple shares three children: sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 15, plus daughter Grace, 13.
Before finalizing their divorce in September, Kevin and Christine appeared in court multiple times to come to terms on various matters, including the timeline of Christine moving out of their family compound in Santa Barbara and child-support payments from the Field of Dreams actor.
Kevin and Christine first met briefly at a golf course while he rehearsed for his 1996 romantic comedy Tin Cup. They began dating after reconnecting at a restaurant in 1998 and married in 2004 at Costner's 160-acre ranch, The Dunbar, in Aspen, Colorado.
The actor's marriage to Christine was his second; he was previously married to Cindy Silva for 16 years. The former couple divorced in 1994 and share three adult children. Between his divorce from Silva and relationship with Christine, Costner briefly dated Bridget Rooney, with whom he shares his 27-year-old son Liam.
