Not Ready To Have Kids
After his divorce from Cindy, Costner acknowledged that his love life had become chaotic. I was acting like a typical single man: “Who do I love this week, who do I love next week?” the Dances With Wolves actor said.
But everything changed when he started dating Christine. Costner, who once prided himself on being a free spirit, had at last rediscovered love. Costner and Christine had a short-lived breakup in 2002 because Costner wasn’t quite ready to commit to having children with Christine.
His Fears
Costner realized that ending things with Christine was a terrible mistake after being forced back into the single life. Costner claims, “Fear kept me from marrying Christine.” I was concerned that I wouldn’t be a good father even though [she] wanted to have a child.
“I woke up and thought, Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child? four years into our relationship. All it needed was that.”
