Once renowned actor Kevin Costner finds himself embroiled in a contentious split from his wife, Christine. Amidst rumors of infidelity, leaked divorce documents unveil a divorce struggle more complex than initially revealed. Costner, known for his fiery demeanor, had a recent run-in with Daniel Starr, a tenant of his $145 million coastal property. According to insiders, the cause of this dispute centered around Starr's alleged relationship with Christine.

Starr, a tenant paying $65,000 monthly for the guesthouse on Costner's property, abruptly terminated his lease in March, following a heated encounter with Costner. Shortly after in April, Christine and Kevin parted ways. A mere two months later, Christine filed for divorce after nearly two decades of marriage. Amid their divorce battle over Costner's sizable $400 million fortune, rumors of infidelity have emerged, adding fuel to an already fiery situation.

While both Costner, 68, and Christine, 49, had a friendly rapport with Starr, Costner's frequent absences for work on the hit show, Yellowstone, and his directorial venture, Horizon, purportedly incited suspicion. His unease regarding her reliance on others led him to believe it instigated her abrupt decision to file for divorce. Following her filing, Costner issued a statement citing "circumstances beyond his control".

However, Starr maintains his innocence. The tech entrepreneur and divorcee told In Touch, "I am simply a renter". He expressed his wishes for the Costner family to navigate this challenging period peacefully and amicably.

Yet, with increasing bitterness on both sides, chances of reconciliation appear slim. According to insiders, Christine refuses to leave their home, despite Costner's insistence based on their prenuptial agreement's conditions. Christine, however, argues her departure depends on fulfilling specific financial requirements.

Court documents reveal Christine's contention that the prenup was inked before their children – Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 – were born. Consequently, she believes it doesn't consider the children's needs. With a forensic accountant probing into Costner's financial landscape, Christine seeks to ensure fair division. Costner alleges she funded the audit with his money without his consent, amounting to $95,000.

The audit's results unveiled staggering figures: Costner earned approximately $19.5 million last year, with family expenses exceeding $500,000 monthly. Christine, estimating she'll be the primary caregiver for their children 60% of the time, demands $248,444 in monthly child support, a stark contrast to Costner's offer of $38,000 plus child-related expenses.

The divorce has impacted not only Costner's young children but also his elder children from his first marriage - Annie, 39, Lily, 36, and Joe, 35. Amidst the unfolding drama, these older siblings stand with their father.

Kevin, regretting Christine's decision to move forward with divorce without attempting reconciliation, hopes for an amicable resolution. Unfortunately, their marital discord seems only to be intensifying, casting a shadow over their future.
