Kevin Costner Reveals Why His Wife and Kids Avoid Watching Yellowstone
January 3, 2025: Kevin Costner, known for his powerful portrayal of John Dutton in Yellowstone, recently revealed why his family avoids watching the hit series. Despite its critical acclaim and massive fan following, Costner admitted that Yellowstone is not family-friendly viewing, especially for his children.
In an interview with Extra, the 67-year-old actor joked, “It’s too naughty for them to see, and they probably do figure out how to see it.”
Costner, who shares three children with his wife Christine Baumgartner—Cayden, Hayes, and Grace—takes a protective approach when it comes to exposing them to the show’s mature themes.
“Listen, a lot of my movies have some of those themes, so they are going to find them in the course of their life,” Costner explained.
He added that while his children might eventually discover his works, he hopes they stumble upon some of his more wholesome projects first, such as Fandango.
Although the Yellowstone series remains off-limits for family viewing, Costner’s children are still proud of their father’s work. His eldest daughter, Annie, once remarked, “Well, he doesn’t make bad movies,” showcasing the family’s admiration for his storied career.
Costner’s daughter Lily even collaborated with him musically, lending her voice to the song Heaven’s Gate with his band Modern West. The track was featured in the Tales from Yellowstone album and made its way into the show itself.

While Costner acknowledges that Yellowstone may not be suitable for his family, he remains immensely proud of the show and its impact. The series has garnered a massive global fanbase, cementing Costner’s legacy as one of Hollywood’s finest actors.
As Yellowstone wraps up its chapter, Costner’s dedication to balancing family values with his professional commitments continues to shine.
