Oscar winner Kevin Costner has started divorce proceedings with his wife, Christine Baumgartner, of almost 19 years.
On Tuesday, the 68-year-old actor's representative released a statement confirming the news of their impending split.
Costner's publicist Arnold Robinson said: "It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage."
