Kevin Costner received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival for his new film, Horizon: An American Saga. The actor, visibly emotional, was joined by his co-stars and five of his seven children. Costner’s passion project, a four-part Western, is said to have cost him $38 million of his own money. This comes after a difficult year for the actor, including a public divorce and his exit from the popular TV series, Yellowstone.
The divorce from his wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, was painful and highly publicized. The couple share three children and fought over various issues during their four-month court battle. Baumgartner has since moved on, and while Costner has some regrets, he is focused on his work and his children. He sparked romance rumors with folk singer Jewel but insists he doesn’t have much time to date.

There is speculation that he may return for the second half of season 5, but if not, his character may be killed off-camera. Costner is currently working on the remaining Horizon films, relishing the responsibility of being in charge. Reviews for the first installment are mixed, but Costner is no stranger to proving his critics wrong.
