Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone diet revealed! Find out what the star comfort ate on set ahead of explosive divorce from ex Christine Baumgartner and show exit
Kevin Costner indulged in a few servings of comfort food on the set of Yellowstone as he headed for a divorce from estranged wife Christine Baumgartner.
The 68-year-old star – who played John Dutton on the hit show for five seasons – often put aside his diet to indulge in a delicious dessert amid his scandalous split, according to chef Gabriel Guilbeau, who is Yellowstone’s head of craft services.
“Kevin always likes to tell me he’s on a diet and off the sugar, and then he’ll ask me to make him an apple pie,” Gabriel revealed. Delicious during a recent interview. “Usually on the same day.”
The celebrity chef said the Oscar-winner could be found hanging out at his makeshift kitchen hoping to find sweets during filming, even though Kevin was a picky eater.
“Before he met me, I think (he) lived solely on canned chili and hot dogs,” Gabriel quipped.

Along with the apple pie, Gabriel, who also plays Chef Gator on the wildly popular series, said he often offered Kevin and the cast classics like gumbo, étouffée, jambalaya and barbecue.

A joint statement from Costner and Baumgartner provided to DailyMail.com read: ‘Kevin and Christine Costner have reached an amicable and mutually agreed resolution of all issues relating to their divorce proceedings.’
According to TMZif Christine contests the judgment, “she will have to pay back Kevin more than $1 million and pay his attorney fees for the pre-up fight.”
Upon hearing this, the mother of three ‘agreed to the terms of a 3-page settlement letter over the weekend.’
Kevin’s legal team – led by ‘disso queen’ Laura Wasser – won a series of legal battles leading up to the settlement.
last month, a friend told DailyMail.com that Christine agreed to settle because Kevin ‘has all the power’.
The friend explained: ‘Christine didn’t really have a choice but to settle because Kevin had all the power. If she kept fighting, she would risk losing everything.
