Kevin Costner, 69, makes the rare move of posing with FIVE of his children from TWO different wives as their ages range from 40 to 13
Kevin Costner has made his trip to the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival in the south of France this year a family vacation.
On Sunday the 69-year-old Yellowstone veteran was seen posing with five of his seven children whom he had with two different wives.
They were all dressed up for the premiere of his new movie, Horizon: An American Saga, as they posed away on the red carpet with papa bear in the middle.
The Hollywood actor was joined by daughters Annie, 40, and Lily, 37, whom he shares with ex-wife Cindy Silva. Costner's son Joe, 36 — also from his first marriage to Silva — was not present.
His youngest kids, Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 13, were also there. Their mother is ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.

The sighting was at the Horizon: An American Saga premiere at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival
Costner and Bridget Rooney's son, Liam, 26, was also absent from the red carpet event.
A year ago Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner after almost 20 years of marriage.
She has since moved on with Josh Connor. And Kevin appears to now be dating rock folk singer Jewel but they have yet to go public with their romance.
Ahead of Horizon's Cannes premiere on Sunday, the two-part saga already been acquired by Metropolitan FilmExport, according to Variety.
It stars Sienna Miller, Luke Wilson, Sam Worthington and Jena Malone.
The movie series follows a family that discovers the lure of the Old West as the Civil War divides the country. Horizon: An American Saga makes its world premiere Sunday at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
On Monday his interview with GQ came out where he talked about his son working on the movie.
'I felt time slipping…he's now 15,' he said of his boy.
'I thought the window was closing on me being able to be an effective part in that movie. And so I basically burned my ships.
'Like Cortés, we're f***ing here. I'm going to make this. And I mortgaged property. Now do you get it?'
He also said he has put $38M of his own money into the films.
'I guess I could buy apartments and I could buy McDonald's and I could buy a bunch of things and just grow, grow, grow, grow…'
'That's the message I want my kids to understand about who I am: that I do what I believe in. I have fear like everybody else. I don't want to be humiliated.'

And he touched on his marriage from Christine falling apart.
'Very serious stuff. And those things are very important. I have to deal with them,' he told GQ.
'And I have to deal with them on a daily basis, emotionally, historically almost. And then there’s the immediate needs of children. I’m not going to list the things—I’m going to stop right there with them. That is my job, looking at that, and dealing with that.'
He added: 'I’ve taken big bites out of life, life’s taken big ones out of me, right? I’m not going to lose myself because I’ve been bruised. I have been, but I’m not going to lose myself. And what I’m going to do is—because we are now after the white whale, okay?
'So I can’t let go of this rope no matter how much my heart’s on the ground, no matter how broken I may be on a daily basis, I can’t let go of this rope because if I do, this thing called Horizon will stop.

'And Horizon’s not more important than the other things in my life, but I do have a level of responsibility to those guys that invested with me, to the people that believe in me, to the people that want to work all four of these, and are willing to postpone other jobs on the hint that I might work.
'And so it doesn’t matter how much water’s hitting me in the face, I can’t let go of the rope that is this thing.
'Pull. Don’t just f***ing hold on. Pull the f***ing rope too.'
Kevin also talked Yellowstone to GQ.
Yellowstone has not ended yet.
It is only halfway through its fifth season and there are no solid plans to finish the ranch life saga.
On Monday Costner - who plays patriarch John Dutton on TV's number one show - shared some insights to GQ.
The Oscar-winning star maintained that he told creator Taylor Sheridan he would help end the series, but no scripts have ever come his way.

And Costner also said that he and Taylor have a 'private' reason for not going forward, hinting they have disagreements over how the show should end.
But the star, who is promoting his movie Horizon, said that he wants to help end the Dutton saga for the sake of the 'audience.'
Just hours after Kevin's interview surface, Paramount Network announced that Yellowstone had already started production on the end of season five and was currently filming in Montana.
As previously announced, the series is slated to return in November 2024.

Yellowstone premiered in 2018 and has since attracted as many as 10 million viewers.
On the show, Costner plays John Dutton III, who fights to save his ranch; he has been compared to a Godfather character because he uses murder to keep his business and family together.
The show needs an ending, but there has been talk that Kevin was too busy or wanted too much money or wanted too much say to get it done.
Now he has told GQ that he has tried.
'That's kind of my Western ethic,' he said.
'I've been quiet about the whole thing and I've taken a beating out there. My castmates are confused. The crew was confused.'
He shared that he only did Horizon because he wanted to work more, and he felt he could do Horizon and Yellowstone at the same time.
'I've always wanted to do this movie,' Costner said, 'and I was doing Yellowstone. I love Yellowstone.'
But there were delays from COVID, the writers' strike, and 'further disagreements about scheduling,' said GQ.

And Costner also said that he and Taylor have a 'private' reason for not going forward, hinting they have disagreements over how the show should end. But the star, who is promoting his movie Horizon, said that he wants to help end the Dutton sag a for the sake of the 'audience'
'We very rarely started when we said we would and we didn't finish when we said we would,' said Costner.
'And I was okay with that. I really was. I was okay with it, but it wasn't a trend that could continue for me.'
So he worked on Horizon.
Then Yellowstone proposed splitting the fifth season of the show into two parts.
'And their big plan was to suddenly do eight now and then in the fall do eight more,' Costner said.
'I said, "I have a contract to do Horizon, and I have people and money." I think there was a belief that I couldn't get it mounted, but I didn't really care what anybody believed.'
According to Costner, he tried to help end season five. But, he said, 'the scripts never came. They still haven't shot it. As far as I know. The scripts never came. And so then at one point they said to me that we don't have an ending or anything.'
Costner then offered: 'I said, "Well, if you want to kill me, if you want to do something like that," I said, "I have a week before I start. I'll do what you want to do."'
A spokesperson for Paramount Network refuted Costner's account of this conversation, said GQ.
They negotiated more, and then he had only a week before he had to do Horizon.
'Somebody picked up the idea that I only wanted to work one week,' said Kevin.
'And that has been a carryover thing that I have seen in magazines: that I've only wanted to work one week.'
Now he has been depicted as the person who is holding back the end of Yellowstone.

'My big disappointment is I never heard Paramount or 101 really come to my defense and say, "That's not true. He was going to do three more seasons."'
He added: 'I started off only giving three seasons, ended up doing five and got embroiled in a thing that I don't feel one person over there ever told the story correctly, ever, about what I had done and what I've been willing to do.' Costner said that he thought that for Sheridan, Paramount, and 101 Studios, who were in the midst of developing several other Yellowstone spin-offs and originals, 'other shows became more important.' And he was okay with that. But he wished the story had been told differently, publicly. 'That's really fucking bothered me, that none of them would actually try to set the record straight.'
In a statement emailed to GQ, a Paramount Network spokesperson wrote: 'Kevin has been a big part of Yellowstone's success. While we had hoped that we would continue working with him, unfortunately, we could not find a window that worked for him, all the other talent, and our production needs in order to move forward together. We respect that Kevin has prioritized his new film series and we wish him the best.'
He said he would go back if his terms were met.
'Well, Taylor and I know what the conditions are for coming back, and I'll just keep that between ourselves,' Costner said. He told GQ that as far as he was concerned, his terms were 'reasonable.' 'And if we can't get to it, it's because at the end of the day, it's unreasonable for them or something.' C
He added he loves John Dutton: 'I love that world. I am a person that is very script oriented. And if the scripts aren't there now, I need to know what I am. I want to make sure that the character lines up with what's important to me too. And that's pretty simple. That's just between, again, Taylor and myself. Can we ever get there? I don't know.'
