Costner acknowledges divorcing when kids are involved can be especially fraught, and it's something he'd considered before he and Baumgartner married."It was something I had to think about 20 years ago, when I agreed to be married ," says Costner, who has three adult kids Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Joe, 36, with ex-wife Cindy Silva, and son Liam, 26, with former actress Bridget Rooney. "I had been divorced once and that was rough with kids.
He adds of his balancing act: "If you're in a storm and you're the only one up on deck holding the wheel, and you're just trying to get the rain and salt water out of your eyes, you couldn't let go of the wheel. I just haven't been able to let go of the wheel."Now, as he finally brings to the screen the sweeping story he’s kicked around for more than 30 years, Costner is excited about seeing his passion project come to fruition.
"What I can say is I've had an amazing life," he says, considering his seven decades with gratitude. "I've been bruised, but I've had an amazing life and I'm grateful for that."
