Kevin addressed their brief split in a June 2018 interview with Closer Weekly, revealing that “fear” got in the way because he didn’t know if he could be a good father. However, he later came to his senses.
“I woke up and thought, ‘Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?’” he recalled. “That’s all it took. Sometimes you learn the thing you’re most afraid of will save your life.”

May 2023: Christine Files for Divorce
Christine filed for divorce from Kevin on May 1, 2023, after 18 years of marriage, In Touch confirmed at the time. The news shocked the world, but Kevin and Christine had reportedly tried to work things out before coming to the decision to divorce.
“I believe they did have counseling, even though it’s not one of Kevin’s favorite things to do,” a source told In Touch. “Put it this way, neither of them really wanted a divorce. They tried to make it work, but they both decided it was time and the best thing to do for the entire family.”
As for what exactly led to the divorce, rumors swirled of an affair, constant fights and Christine pressuring Kevin to leave his show Yellowstone, although she denied the latter was the reason.
“I have avoided being public about the reasons for our divorce,” she stated in the divorce paperwork. “I have done this to protect our family’s privacy.”
June 2023: Kevin Requests That Christine Move Out of Their Home
The divorce got messy in June when Kevin filed a declaration with the court to request that Christine vacate their home in Carpinteria, California, In Touch confirmed. A few weeks later, new paperwork filed by Kevin’s lawyer on July 5 claimed that Christine “stubbornly refused” to move out.
Additional paperwork was filed on July 14 to “prevent [Christine] from removing [Kevin’s] separate property from his home, and to insure an orderly process for the removal of her separate property (if any).” In response to this, Christine said her estranged husband’s “apparent fear that I will strip the house bare” was “completely unfounded.”
July 2023: Judge Reaches a Ruling on Kevin’s Child Support Payments
Additionally, judge Thomas Anderle ruled on July 11 that Kevin would have to pay Christine $129,755 per month in child support. This amount is less than half of Christine’s initial request of $248,444 per month, which Kevin said was “highly inflated and unsubstantiated.”
