As rough as it’s been for "Yellowstone" wondering if and when the show would ever return to close out on its fifth season, the situation has obviously been all the more hectic for everyone involved with the show. Following months of rumors about star Kevin Costner’s alleged demands about scheduling, the actor’s wife Christine Baumgarten made the stunning move to file for divorce, which was soon followed by the official confirmation that the remaining episodes will film and air later this year, and will serve as "Yellowstone’s" swan song, making way for a brand new sequel spinoff. The Emmy-winning actor was alleged to be “blindsided” by the divorce news, but an insider close to the now-former couple is claiming there’s a little more to those scheduling rumors that indicate Costner shouldn’t have been surprised at all.
These newer claims tie back to a prior report that centered on the assertion that Christine Baumgartner gave Costner the ultimatum to leave "Yellowstone" and its lengthy filming schedule behind. According to OK Magazine, the John Dutton portrayer supposedly did lay her demands out there to the western drama’s producers, only to go and derail that goodwill with more Hollywood projects.
