Kevin Costner is making work a family affair. The actor appeared at the famed Cannes Film Festival in France last week, and five of his kids came to support him. Three of the kids who tagged along are the children he shares with ex Christine Baumgartner, who filed for divorce in 2023. Their divorce was contentious, with Christine trying to get the Yellowstone star to give her more money than he was willing to pay. Ultimately, the former couple worked out their issues and are now successfully divorced. Kevin also was joined on the red carpet by two of his adult daughters from a previous marriage.

They looked like a happy family on the red carpet.
Kevin was in Cannes to promote his new film, Horizon: An American Saga, over the weekend. He brought his three kids with Christine Baumgartner: sons Cayden and Hayes and daughter Grace. He also brought daughters Annie and Lily, whom he shares with Cindy Silva. They were married from 1978 to 1994. His two other children, son Josh, whom he shares with Silva, and son Liam, whom he shares with ex Bridget Rooney, were not in attendance.
Kevin is clearly a proud dad.
The family was all dressed up for the screening of his film, which also marked son Hayes’ film debut. Kevin and his sons wore black tuxedos and sunglasses. Annie and Lily also donned sunglasses in some photos, but youngest Grace decided not to join in. The day after the screening, Kevin swapped his black tux for a white suit when he received the Order of Arts and Letters from the minister of culture.
It's been a rough year for the actor.
Kevin reflected on filming two Horizon: An American Saga films while going through his divorce from Christine Baumgartner last year in a new interview with GQ. He called working through his contentious divorce “a level of victory” at the time.
“I’m not going to lose myself because I’ve been bruised,” he said.

Kevin isn't giving details about his recent divorce.
He didn’t really provide much detail or insight into his divorce other than saying that “a lot … has happened” in his life recently.
“I’m right now looking at myself in the dark and going, ‘Are you going to f—ing stand up and finish? Get up,'” he said. “Get the f— up and deal with this and find the joy every day of seeing your kids play while you’re here — and then work your a– off to get this thing finished.'”
He's putting his youngest kids first.
Additionally, he addressed that he had to meet “the immediate needs of [his] children” as a working dad. “I’m going to stop right there with them,” he said. “That is my job.”
Kevin's divorce from Christine was officially finalized in February, and now, it seems he's moving on — and celebrating brand-new wins.
