3 How His Family Compares To The Dutton Family
Yellowstone is a show that started all the way back in 2018. It's focused on the Dutton family, who owns the largest ranch in the world, headed by Kevin's character John. There's a lot of chaos among the Dutton siblings. The oldest sibling, Lee, was taken out early on in the show. His other sons include Jamie, who is a politician, and Kayce, a Navy SEAL. His lone daughter is Bethany who's focused on keeping the family and its wealth together.
His oldest daughter, Abigail, owns her own film studio called Sound Off Films. The production company is focused on documentaries and other non-fiction/education-based film projects. Lily Collins followed in her father's footsteps and became an actress. Her biggest role was as Lily in the hit family comedy The Babysitters Club. His other child with Cindy, Joe, was a child actor just like Lily. Meanwhile, his sole child with Bridget Rooney, Liam, is a real estate agent, just like Bethany from Yellowstone. Liam even has a degree from Yale.
2 Liam Costner's Crazy Family Connections
Liam's dad is an actor that everybody knows. But the family connections on his mother's side are just as interesting.
Liam is the only child that Kevin and Bridget Rooney had together. Bridget was an aspiring actress when Kevin met her. She's had small roles in films such as Zombie or Not Zombie. However, her real claim to fame is being the heiress of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After seeing Kevin for a while, Bridget eventually moved on and married. So if you add all of that up, Liam has the potential to inherit from Kevin Costner, the Koch family, as well as the legendary Rooney family. With his real estate background, he might not even need any of that money. He's already inherited $800 million dollars in stock, however, from being a member of the Koch family.
1 How Kevin's Exes Feel About Him
It can be tough to end a sixteen-year marriage. For Kevin, his divorce from Cindy was made even tougher when she was awarded over 80 million dollars in their divorce settlement. Cindy herself has moved on to activism and philanthropy but hasn't commented much on her famous ex since the two went their separate ways.
As mentioned earlier, Bridget moved on and married William Koch. Her relationship with Kevin Costner was short-lived, and there appear to be few hard feelings between them at this point in time.
