On January 18, 2025, Kevin Costner celebrated his 70th birthday by sharing a nostalgic black-and-white childhood photo on Instagram, dressed in cowboy attire. He captioned the post, “If you can believe it, this is me. I was chasing the cowboy life just about as soon as I could walk, and here I am doing it still,” expressing gratitude for the birthday wishes and reflecting on his lifelong passion for the Western genre.
A source close to Costner mentioned that he is in a good place, enjoying time with his family and friends, and not currently seeking a serious romantic relationship following his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in February 2024. Costner is a father to seven children: Annie (40), Lily (38), Joe (36), Liam (28), Cayden (17), Hayes (15), and Grace (14).
Professionally, Costner has been focusing on his ambitious Western film series, “Horizon: An American Saga.” The first chapter premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, receiving a 10-minute standing ovation. Despite not being a major box office success, the film found an audience on streaming platforms like Netflix and Max, and Costner remains optimistic about the project’s future installments.
In addition to his film endeavors, Costner took a moment on his birthday to honor his late friend and “The Bodyguard” co-star, Whitney Houston, by sharing a throwback photo from the set of their 1992 film. He reflected on their friendship, stating, “We lost such a light when we lost Whitney,” and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate another birthday.
As he enters this new decade, Kevin Costner continues to embrace his passions, both personally and professionally, while cherishing the support of his family and fans.
