1) Kevin Costner – 7 Children (1 of 21)
1) Kevin Costner – 7 Children (1 of 21)
Actor Kevin Costner has 7 kids with 3 different women. He has acknowledged that having children with multiple women and having kids in blended households is not always easy, stating that his kids have asked tough questions like, “Do you care for us now as much as you do them?”
Kevin Costner’s first Divorce, to Cindy Silva, who he met in college in 1978, was marked as one of the most important celebrity divorce cases in the 90’s (officially divorced in 1994). Most celebrity divorces don’t alter how mainstream divorce cases are handled, but in this case, multiple divorce attorneys have cited that this particular case had brought out how heightened emotions (loss, personal damage, personal impact, etc) can affect how cases are viewed now. Basically, what this means is, Cindy Silva tried to reconcile her marriage at all cost, even though Kevin was said to be committing adultery. Because of the additional pain inflicted for trying to reconcile despite everything else she was dealing with, Kevin Costner settled with Cindy to the tune of $80 million. This makes this divorce settlement one of the largest celebrity divorces in U.S. History.
Costner had 3 children with Cindy Silva, 3 with with current wife Christine Baumgartner, and 1 son with girlfriend Bridget Rooney.
Why didn’t you mention George Foreman has 12 kids?
The Duggars are a freak show, but are NOT celebrities!
I can’t understand how any of these ridiculous un-real “Reality” shows even get on network television! Have we no more GOOD authors of ‘Family’ type situation comedies writing for the networks any more? I have no idea how these reality shows ever get an audience! They are not ENTERTAINING!!
Doesn’t matter on entertainment, it’s all about rating. It’s like driving past an accident and all the heads turn to look. I watched once for about ten minutes and gone. No entertainment just curious what all the BS was about.
Kevin Costner is still a handsome man. He at least admitted it’s hard raising blended children.
Wow, the only person out of 21 people that had all her children with the same person was also the only on the author of this article deemed as ridiculous.
Would have been nice to read this, with just the facts and without your rude comments.
AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree! Who needs those tacky side comments. Who????
Well, Sarah Palin is probably more of a ‘celebrity’ than the Duggars, Kate Goslin and Octomom combined. And what is it with your concern about child support ??? Geez, how petty …
Run-DMC is two people: Reverend Run and his partner Daryl McDaniels.
it’s three people – you’re forgetting the guy in this article. 🙂
Oops – I should’ve said you’re forgetting Jam Master Jay.
Guess not many people practising safe sex?
Seriously? In referring to Mick Jagger’s FAMILY you had the audacity to say “We’re just wondering if he had to pay child support for all of those kids. Ouch” Seriously??? Why they Hell NOT? If you have them, you support your children…no matter how many you spawn! (Maybe THAT’s wrong with society … NO ONE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN KIDS ANYMORE! And apparently MSN thinks it’s crazy if one HAD TO????? ) Shame on you for making such an obnoxious comment MSN!
Funny the photo of Eddie Murphy was the ONLY one that showed him WITH HIS CHILDREN! Wonder what MSN is trying to say here…..None of the other Broods were shown …..
Funny the photo of Eddie Murphy was the ONLY one that showed him WITH HIS CHILDREN! Wonder what MSN is trying to say here…..None of the other Broods were shown …..(aside from the once flaunted on TV for a buck routinely that we DON”T want to see (the Kardashians, Kate with 8, Duggars (Celebrities, really) …. These “parents” appear to have had kids to MAKE money off them ONLY! SMH
Steve Harvey is shown with all of his children, so were Angela Joile-Pitt
Forgotten are Donald Trump, Hugh Hefner, Larry King and Rod Stewart.
I bet they get added…. Great article though. Have over 90K people really read this.. This is more viral then kind of viral. ha
Comments are like everything else you read on Yahoo pages. Looks like it was written by Kenye West. They believe they can have socialism… and backyard barbeques at their big homes.
This post is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Why do you mention one divorce at $80 mil as being most expensive, but don’t comment on Mel Gibson’s divorce costing him over 400 million? He got a raw deal because the LA courts are in the pocket of the Hollywood mafia who want to ruin him because he is too independent for them. This nonsense about him being anti Semitic is also garbage. He had too much to drink and he was feeling that the Hollywood mafia was wrecking his life. To him in his inebriated state it was ironic that the officer who pulled him over was Jewish in that he was a part of their conspiracy against him, which he was. Or that the Rothschilds were behind every war, which they were. Telling the truth doesn’t make you a racist. But pushing hate does.
It would be nice if these superstars would not allow their fame, fortune and sex appeal to over populate this earth. We are overly tapped for natural resources as it is now. It is bad enough the uneducated people or the people who do not have access to proper birth control measures but what are these super rich, well educated, people’s excuse for reckless planning? Do they really love themselves so much they believe they need to multiply at such unhealthy levels? Too sad.
Margaret I think the author was stating that Cosner’s divorce was the largest at the time, back in the mid 90’s, and that it was a game changer for how celebrity divorce settlements were ruled on after the fact.
Didn’t Mel Gibson get divorced within the past 5 years?
IDK, would have to reread the two articles but that was my takeaway as I was skimming through.
I read Costner’s in full because it was the first post, haven’t read Mel’s yet. Going to try and find it now.
When does 4 plus 2 equal 5 as in the case of Kim Zolciak?
Good catch. There was a typo that has now been fixed. Thanks for your help!
Pax wasn’t adopted in 2015 forgot what year but she had him longer that this year lol
Than that^^
Mel said 2 things in 40+ years of acting, and he was drunk. So your stupid article is just that. He’s really not a violent person; he was married for 28 years to Robyn. Jerks. He got mad at his girlfriend like a billion other people have. it’s just not blasted to the entire world. Mels children are PERFECT, so that tells you something right there. His picture is crappy, you did that on purpose. HATEFUL PEOPLE.
You forgot Clint Eastwood. Seven kids with four different women.
“P. Diddy’s biological children have 3 different mothers. He has 1 child with his high school love, 3 kids with an ex he dated long-term, and 1 child with another woman. He does not have any biological children with his stepson’s mother.”.. You people sleigh me…
The “stepson” is the biological son of the mother of 3 of his children…, and you neglected to mention the other daughter, he recently acknowledged paternity of.
If, you’re gonna put other people’s business out there…, at least get it right, morons.
Duggars and Octomom are not celebrities. They are freaks with no talent other than copulating and reproducing.
lol Octomom isn’t even a mom from copulation. Wasn’t she impregnated, artificially?
Nicole Murphy cannot “father” any children. Proof read!
I agree with Brandi… and the term is “less than”, not “then”. Not only should you proofread before publishing, you should have someone else proofread it too. You’ll always miss something if you do it yourself.
Funny they are not all black!
i find it funny that it said Nicole Mitchell Murphy ‘fathered’ four of murphy’s children.
