Kevin Costner stunned when wife gave him divorce papers — as he wanted to serve them himself
KEVIN Costner was stunned when he was given divorce papers — as he wanted to serve them himself.
We can reveal the actor thought he and wife Christine had agreed to have an amicable split.
He broke the news of their impending divorce to their three children in a family summit at a restaurant near their £115million mansion in Montecito, California.
But the 68-year-old Bodyguard star was “blindsided” the next day when Christine, 49, seized the initiative.
A source said: “Kevin sat his family down, told them he and their mum were getting a divorce and his lawyer was getting the paperwork drawn up.
"He wanted everything to be peaceful for the sake of his kids and told Christine he didn’t want a messy divorce because he’d already been through one.

"Then first thing the next morning, boom, Christine sneak attacks him and serves him with her own set of divorce papers.
“Kevin was so shocked. Christine has since made him look terrible, and has continued to do so.”
She has claimed her husband — worth £200million — told their kids they were divorcing in a ten-minute Zoom call.
The actor says he is now effectively “homeless”, alleging Christine is refusing to leave their beachside home — in breach of their 2004 pre-nup.
