Kevin Costner’s first wife Cindy Silva shops for groceries 30 years after their marriage ended
Kevin Costner’s first wife, Cindy Silva, was spotted running errands nearly 30 years after her marriage to the Hollywood actor fell apart when the Yellowstone star filed for another divorce.
Cindy, 66, who tied the knot with the 68-year-old actor in 1978 but divorced him in 1994, was photographed running errands at Gelson’s Market in California over the weekend.
She kept it casual in black leggings, a button-up denim top and Birkenstock sandals.
It was a far cry from the life she led with Costner when she attended red carpet events and Hollywood parties with the movie star three decades ago.

Kevin and Cindy met in college in 1975, when they were both students at California State University – Fullerton, and were married three years later.
They welcomed two daughters together, Annie in 1984 and Lily in 1986, as well as a son, named Joe, in 1988.
But after 16 years together, their marriage ended in divorce after a slew of rumors circulated that Kevin had been unfaithful to Cindy.
At the time, reports emerged claiming that he was involved in an affair with a celebrated hula dancer named Michele Amaral while he was filming the movie Waterworld in Hawaii.
New York Daily News reported that Kevin and Michele, a married mother of two, met at the Mauna Lani hotel, and soon after she was “spotted crawling out of his $4,500-a-day mansion.”
The outlet said that Cindy found out about the affair from someone who had worked on the film but was fired.
