Kevin Costner's wife Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce, with some fans speculating it was due to his commitment to Yellowstone.

However, the real reason behind Baumgartner's divorce may have been more to do with his upcoming project, Horizon.

The divorce news came amid rumors about Costner's ongoing feud with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. The couple reportedly butted heads after Costner cut his season 5 shooting schedule down to a single week.

Despite the challenges, Costner remains dedicated to his Horizon project, which is currently in production and set in both pre and post-Civil War times.

The project is the first time Costner is serving as a director since his 2003 film Open Range.

Baumgartner did not approve of Costner's busy work schedule, claiming that he did not spend much time with his family and was obsessed with his various projects.

Costner first announced Horizon at the start of 2022, and as Baumgartner prepares to navigate a challenging divorce process, she isn't pulling any punches.

As Costner navigates the challenging path of divorce, he will simultaneously be parting ways with the show he made significant sacrifices for.

Insiders reveal that his frequent interruptions in production, caused by scheduling conflicts, ultimately led to the premature conclusion of the series after Season 5.

Paramount recently confirmed that Yellowstone will end after season 5 airs later this year, while Costner and Baumgartner are calling it quits after 18 years together.
