Kevin Costner is open to finding love again. The 69-year-old actor and director split from his second wife, Christine Baumgartener, after 18 years of marriage.
But in a new interview the Horizon: An American Saga director is candid when he’s asked about what he’s looking for in a future partner.
“I had two unique relationships,” Costner told Fox News. “A person who wants to be loved, and they want to be, you know … feel like they’re at their very best. And that love helps that and doesn’t hinder it.”
Costner was previously married to Cindy Silva from 1978 to 1994. The Yellowstone star and Baumgartener tied the knot in 2004 and their divorce was finalized earlier this year.
He is the father of seven children from those relationships and others. Five of Costner’s seven children stepped out earlier this week to support their dad at the premiere of Horizon: An American Saga.
Sons Joe, 36, Cayden, 17, and Hayes, 15 — who makes his acting debut in the movie walked the red carpet with their dad, as did daughters, Annie, 40, and Grace, 14. The legendary actor is also dad to Lily, 37, and Liam, 26, who did not make it to the event. The movie star’s eldest three children come from his relationship with Silva, while he shares Liam with former partner Bridget Rooney. Meanwhile, he shares Hayes, Cayden and Grace with Baumgartner.
“It’s really nice to have a film celebrated and to have this particular film celebrated tonight and to be here with my actors, my family,” he told ET of the premiere. “This is my town. I love being a part of the film community here in Hollywood.”
Costner also spoke with ET about his connection to The Bachelor franchise.
“It’s really handsome people, beautiful women, and everybody’s trying to create a relationship in front of a billion people,” Costner said. “I have a little experience with that.”
Most recently, rumors swirled that Costner started up a romance with Jewel, however, the actor denied as much, insisting he’s “never gone out” with the singer.
